As a way of giving back to w@w and thanking our suppliers for a job well done, here's the first part of our feedback and ratings on how they performed 100% on our wedding day. We rated them with 10 as the highest. Enjoy! (All photos are courtesy of Purple Kite Studios :) )
Kredin, the Events Engineer
10/10++++++++++
One of the great things we did on our wedding was to book an OTD coordinator. Kung hindi, marami kaming makakalimutan at ma-o-overlook! I remember our first meeting with them which was only supposed to be an inquiry. We are from Marikina and we searched the net for a Marikina-based OTD and we saw Kredin, the Events Engineer. Sabi namin, "uy, pwede!". We read further and we saw that they had 80 weddings in 2012 - which is quite a feat! Lalong pwede! And knowing that Kredin is also an engineer like Tom, lalo kaming na-encourage na pumunta sa office nila.
Our inquiry lasted for 2 hours! She already accommodated us like her client giving us tips, answering our questions, and somehow helped us in planning our wedding na. We felt her sincerity and passion to her work that by the end of the meeting, we were already sold out. We felt that "this is it" feeling with her.
Though our wedding was successful, it was not perfect. First, maluwag ung gown nung sister ni Tom, so si Kredin ang nagtahi ng damit niya (they have a sewing kit ready!). Wala pang stapler ung missalette namin when they arrived sa hotel, inendorse ko un sa kanila and next thing I know, may ribbon na ung mga missalettes! We also forgot to buy offertory items (talaga naman!), they bought for us! Then ung mga assigned offerors namin, late nagsidating! They had the initiative to look for replacements. Hindi nila hinayaang wala kaming offertory items at walang mag-o-offer. They saved the moment! Yay!
What my father appreciated the most was when my father arrived sa church at 1:20 pm (ceremony is at 1:30 at strict ang Mt. Carmel sa time). Kuya Rhodel, Kredin's husband, offered a valet service to my dad! Siya na ang nag-park ng sasakyan at mag-secure ng gamit inside just to make sure my dad marches on time. That was really out of their responsibility already but they made sure that every glitch was covered just to make our wedding stress-free in our eyes. Lahat yun di namin naramdaman so Tom and I were able to enjoy our big day to the maximum level. I am also very grateful to my bride manager that day, Ate Munch. She never left my side the whole time offering tissue when a drop of sweat forms on my forehead, water when she thinks I need one, and holding my train anywhere I go! Nahihiya na nga ako kasi alaga talaga kami. So sulit ang pagbook namin sa kanila. Thumbs up! If I will get married again, sila pa din kukunin ko because of their over the top and professional service. :) Here's our kulitan photo with Kredin's team after the reception.

Rae Venturanza - HMUA (package upgraded to airbrush)
10/10 +++++++++++++
Rae is one of the suppliers that I was eyeing for when I started preparing last June 2012. Kaso di ko siya mabook kasi medyo pricey. So hanap na lang ako ng iba kahit deep in my heart she is my first choice. Come December 2012, I still haven't found the right HMUA for me. Wala na kasi akong makita na kasing ganda at galing ng works niya. So one month before the wedding, I made a decision. Rae is my non-nego supplier and I will book her! (buti pumayag si hubby hehe). At ayun na nga, she made me look decent and pretty during my wedding day! Ang gaan ng kamay niya, malinis siya sa gamit, at pulido siya mag-make-up.
First time namin mag-meet during the wedding. No trial at all, but she already knows what she will do to my face! Higit sa lahat, inayos niya ang kilay ko! Sarap din niya kakwentuhan. Para na din kaming long time friends kasi we kept on chatting habang inaayos niya ako. My make-up could've lasted even after the day of my wedding kung ko lang siya need alisin nung gabi na. Ganon kaganda ang make-up niya. Even with all the perspiration I had during the day, the make up still remained intact :)
I also love Nhot, her hair stylist! Kuhang-kuha niya ang peg ko! :) I can say that Rae and Nhot is really worth it :)

Jaypee Pasaylo and Erika Guinomma of Purple Kite Studios (formerly Redefine Weddings) - P/V
10/10++++++
Initially, we wanted Jayson and Joanne Arquiza. We super love their concept of utilizing natural light on their photos making them look crisp, vibrant and free-spirited. Unfortunately, their already booked on their wedding day so they recommended their sister company, Purple Kite Studios.
In one of the articles I've read when getting a P/V, dapat daw ung parang barkada niyo lang ang photographer. It would help you be at ease with them during shoots which is very important in bringing out the real you and make you look fresh and relaxed in your pictures. Ang dating e para lang kayong barkada na nagphophoto shoot. When we visited their office and started chatting with Jaypee and Erika, click na kami agad. Para na kaming friends :) Kwentuhan na agad. They also mentioned that they were trained by the Arquizas and they use the same concept in photography. Same halos ang shots nila and they use the same equipment, too. So on that day na nag-inquire kami, binook na namin sila agad.
They delivered exceptional service to us twice. First was during our prenup where ung original na 4 hours photoshoot e naging 9 hours, at no cost at all! Nag-enjoy kasi si Jaypee kumuha so talagang non-stop siya! Plus he was so game and professional to agree with our underwater photoshoot na kahit nahihirapan akong lumubog sa water (may mali sa tubig, i believe hehe) talgang persistent si Jaypee! At kahit underwater digicam lang ung gamit niya (we provided the cam), ang ganda pa din ng mga shots! We even got featured sa Poptastic bride! Here's the link. Winner! :)
The second was during our wedding itself. They were the one of the early bird suppliers and did their jobs right away! Their group is professional and easy to work with kaya walang naging problema. Sulit ung binayad namin kasi parang di ko yata sila nakitang umupo from church to reception. Shot lng sila ng shot! :) nabitin pa nga daw siya. And as for the pictures, sympre magaganda :) raw pa lang panalo na making every penny we spent on them worth it. We also have the best SDE made by their team!!

Thank you for reading the first part of my ratings. Wait for my next installment: Mt. Carmel, Oasis - The Verandah, Josiah's Catering, Inc.
