Reception Venue: Max's Restaurant San Mateo

Address: #7779 Gen.Luna St., Ampid San Mateo, Rizal
Tel: (02)298-0604
Website: www.maxschicken.com

Mark and I originally wanted to have a garden venue for the reception but when I was looking for possible places, I added up the spending and it would be over the budget. My best friend suggested we try Max's San Mateo because they have a garden with a gazebo. We checked out the place and it was lovely and they have very affordable packages.

Main Photo Video: Nice Print Photography

Address: Unit 204-205 Emerald Place, 604 Shaw Blvd., Pasig City
Tel: (02)6365505/ (02)6333812/ (02)6385206

It's the first supplier that we booked for the wedding. Mark is the one in charge with the P/V since he's being very meticulous with these details (he's an editor and photo enthusiast kasi) . We both like Niceprint's work and they're affordable too.

Prenup and Back Up Photography: Paolo Ruiz

Getting a back up wasn't exactly part of the plan but Mark and I love photos and we'd want a diiferent take of our wedding and so we looked around for possible suppliers and they're either booked on our date or out of budget. Then I remembered that Pao is a photographer and he's my friend and he's going to be at our wedding so why not get him instead? Here, I'll let his works speak for itself..

I also discovered Guj's talent through the weddings at work yahoogroup. His works as I see it are fun and quirky, just how we like it. I even inquired last year because we were opting to have a separate photo and video supplier. Anyway, Mark and I wanted to have a prenup pictorial in FEU (where we met) and I let him view RedSheep's site and he automatically agreed we get him. :D

Rings: Suarez Wedding Rings

Mark and I just decided to check out their outlet at Gateway, one day. We inquired a little and found out they are within the budget. We checked some styles at their site the same night. The next day we found ourselves paying down for our rings. :D

Invites: Impress Prints

Website: http://impressprints.multiply.com

Mark and I wanted simple invites. We'll be having our own design printed at Impress Prints. They accept a minimum amount of 3k for invite printing so it's really affordable and I've seen their output and it's pretty neat and presentable.

I found my HMUA through a Buy and Sell issue my friend lent me. Raechelle turned out to be very nice and easy to talk to. She gave me discounts for her services. :D

Gown Designer: Kat Pangilinan

Kat's my friend since high school and I'm her guinea pig. :D But  I don't mind because Kat loves designing clothes and I can't wait for the turnout. :)

Gown Maker for Bride and female entourage: Midi Shop

My friend Elle recommended Ms. Didi's shop to me. I initially wanted to have the gowns made in Divi but I found an affordable alternative. :) They make beautiful gowns and at an affordable price too. :)

Choir: Rosa Mystica

Even before deciding to get married, I imagined walking down the aisle with a heavenly sounding choir singing my march. I guess I'll see that happening soon. :) I heard them sing Ave Maria and it just gave me goosebumps. :)

I found this new hotel through a fellow W@wie. I must say this is a great find because we booked last year and got a good discount. The rooms are not too big (we only got 2 studio type rooms) but I think it's good enough for the preps.

Every w@wie is familiar with him. I met him last December to discuss my requirements and Mang Boy and Kuya Jon were very easy to talk to. They even gave me a discount! :D

Weddings At Work

Since I became a member of this group, I learned a lot of tips and ideas and even inspiration for my own wedding. Sharing and learning with the w@wies is truly a fun experience. I'm glad to be part of the group. :D
