Food Tasting: Quido's Grill

We finally had our food tasting with Quido's Grill kanina in Ramon Magsaysay Center, Pasay. They were setting up for a wedding so we had the chance to see how the place looks like. It was simple but elegant. Ang ganda naman and to think napaka-affordable ng rates nila. Below are some pics Athan took while I was talking to Ms. Jaja.

Grand Food Tasting: Avengoza

Me and Athan went to Fernwoods last Sunday to attend Avengoza's Grand Food Tasting. I was expecting to see other suppliers there because it was a "Grand" food tasting, but was disappointed kasi sila lang talaga ung nandun.

The venue was beautiful (as expected, Fernwoods e hehehe) but it was quite hot in the morning kahit na may mga mists and fans. We went there around 12 noon na. The table settings are so-so lang, parang hindi nga sila masyado nagprepare e. Maybe sa food talaga sila nagconcentrate (I thought).

Wedding Expo June 2012 by Themes and Motif

Me and Athan went to World Trade Center during the weekend to attend the Philippine Wedding Summit organized by Themes and Motif. What's great about events organized by Themes and Motif is that they always have loot bags for all their attendees. =) I'm so happy that I have another bridal magazine to browse through weee

I have listed below ongoing deals that bride-to-be's can avail for their weddings. Before purchasing a deal, please always read their fine prints most especially the validity period of vouchers. We wouldn't want to buy something that we can't use, right? =)
Enjoy!

Food Tasting: Royalty Catering

We had our food tasting with Royalty Services at Cuisine Centrale Restaurant sa Quezon City nung weekend. It was not free though, we had to pay for the per pax price of our selected menu. But I must say it was all worth it. We had a very sumptuous meal kahit na 1 pax lang ang pina-serve namin. Miss Marie was very friendly and accommodating with our questions and requests. They are also willing to source out for our other suppliers like venues, sounds and lights, etc. 

Hair and Make-Up Booked!

I have just booked our very first supplier! And what's funny about it is it's for hair and make-up! hahaha

Venue Hunting: Trip to U.P. Campus, Diliman, Quezon City

Since Athan is an alumni of U.P., he suggested to have our wedding within the campus. He then brought me to the campus and we checked out the church and some venues there. Below are pics and information regarding the venues.

Venue Hunting: Trip to Marikina

Ang hirap maghanap ng venue, ang mahal naman kasi ng mga magagandang venues =(

Our first priority is to be able to decide on a reception venue then decide on a church nearby para hindi mahirapan mga guests to commute.

My Personal Schedule and Budget

Our working budget for the wedding is php300,000 for 150 guests. Can we actually make it? Abangan... hahaha Anyways, below is a very rough draft of our budget.

Shortlist Caterers

It's so hard to decide on a caterer especially if on a very tight budget. huhuhuh...

Below are our shortlisted caterers that fits our budget. We need to try the food out first before making any decisions though.. Will be posting pics and reviews on our next food tastings with them (para hindi rin naman ma-forget ang experience) =D
