While my mom was doing her regular cleaning around the house, I chanced upon this book "Everyday I pray" by Iyanla Vanzant that was given to her by her friend Tita Cionie... A book of prayers.. And as I read through it, I got so excited reading the Prayer for Married Couples.. It is so nice and so timely especially for all our wedding clients, both past and present...

So to all Married Couples, here's our prayer for you:
*you can also change the pronouns to me/my/our instead of their or them.. to make it your personal prayer too... :)

Dear God:

Bless their marriage today.
Bless the husband and wife with a clear vision of your purpose for their union.
Bless them by ordering their steps.
Bless their prayers for each other. Bless them with safety from all harm. Bless them with a peaceful and loving home. Bless them with hearts that are open and filled with gentle compassion for each other.
Bless them so that they will remember to compliment and encourage each other.
Bless them with strength from the inside that spills forth to the outside so that no weapon can be formed against them or within them.
Bless the husband and wife in everything that he or she does this day.
Bless his/her thoughts, words and deeds in every situation and under all circumstances.
Bless and fill the husband and wife's heart with overwhelming peace and joy. Hear his/her every concern and bring every appropriate solution to his/her mind clearly and gently.
Bless them with patience so that they may be more tolerant partners.
Bless them to know and to see only the things that really matter and to surrender all habits of thought or speech that breed discord.
Bless their finances today. Remind them to use their resources wisely and to give of their first fruits to you.
Bless them so that they will cooperate with each other.
Bless them so that they will see the goodness of your presence in each other.
Bless them with kind thoughts of each other that spill forth from their mouths as kind words.
Bless them to know when to speak up and when to listen.
Bless them to hear with their hearts and not their hurts.
Bless their marriage to be a breeding place for Your presence and Your love.
Dear God, let them invite you into the center of their marriage so that it may grow to be all that you created it to be.
For the blessings of your peaceful, loving presence in the center of their marriage, We are so grateful.
Let it be so!
And So It Is!

I hope you were blessed by reading this :D

It's been a week of sleepless nights as I keep posting more and more albums in our photos page. I think I've posted a total of 30 albums or more. If you've noticed some of the recent albums I posted are events as far back as 2006.. I'm enjoying posting the pictures as I recently discovered the wonderful Media Locker of Multiply. :)

There will be more pictures to come..
and more blogging to come also!

So, to our dear readers, I hope you enjoy viewing our site and hopefully our site is helping you in planning your event too. :)

Dear All,

I've received numerous emails, private messages, yahoo messages and even phone calls thanking us and saying that our site has been very helpful.
To think that i haven't been updating the site so much, still there's so many people that finds our site helpful... especially the OVERSEAS CLIENTS... 
I've been very inspired by these many kind words and this entry is really my way to say THANK YOU too...
And as my commitment to make things more helpful, i will continue to post more pictures and more information on planning your event be it a birthday, wedding, debut or corporate event. :)
If you have suggestions also on what information can be helpful for you, please PM me or message me thru YM.

Thanks thanks to all!

Its been a long while since I last updated the photos and blog in our multiply.
The reason behind is.. I lost my Nokia N-Series Phone and so I couldn't take anymore pictures and upload it instantaneously unlike before.

Now I'm back on track and now its going to be even better!!!
I've just recently put up our newest site and its called www.venuesearcher.com
The first-ever venue finding service in the Philippines!!
Where finding a venue is made easy :)

The concept of this site came about after a clamor for information on our P1.00 VENUE PROMO came up.  :) :) :)

We've also put up a forums page for easier interaction and to build a community of people who wants to help out each other. :D www.forum.venuesearcher.com

The site is still a work-in progress but with your support and inputs I am hoping this new website will live up to its tagline.. "Where finding a venue is made easy"

Our target full blast launch is by January 2009 at the "Ultimate Weddings and Debut Fair 2009" to be organized by Island Exhibit Link.

Please visit www.venuesearcher.com today
and post your comments and suggestions in our forums page www.forum.venuesearcher.com

This service is FREE OF CHARGE.

Thanks and we hope to see you in the forums!

Hope you'll take the time to answer.
Many Thanks in advance!

Make a photobook - it's easy!

In the last few weeks after our very successful participation in SM Megamall Weddings and Debuts 2008 last February, I've had more and more inquiries about our P1.00 Venue Promo.. almost like a clamor for it.. hehehe...

Some would ask, when is your next exhibit? so we could avail of the P1.00 Venue Promo.
We of course tell them the schedules but then at the same time we have to tell them that we do not do pencil bookings because we only get limited number of events per day.. (especially for the month of December, where we only get 1 wedding a day)

So we have decided to come up with a new system that would give our clients the opportunity to still avail of the  Venue Promo or in other cases, CUSTOMIZED PACKAGES with special inclusions that they want to be part of the package.

We call this new system the SEVENDAYSPECIAL :)
Which means that we will still give you the VENUE PROMO or if you already have a venue, we will give you a special CUSTOMIZED PACKAGE that has the inclusions that you like... if you book us within sevendays upon receiving our formal qoutation.

After sevendays and you still do not avail of the extra special offer we gave, then the extra specials will not be there anymore. However our regular freebies can still be part of it.

By having this SEVENDAYSPECIAL, our clients can still avail of the best deals even if we are not in an exhibit. :)

Oh by the way, our reservation fee is only P10,000. We have very flexible payment terms and  best of all we can accept credit card payments. :) 

The Mechanics of our Promo is fairly simple...

First of all, you must book a wedding for at least 100 guests or above.

Second, you will choose your BUFFET MENU PACKAGE.

We have THREE MENU CHOICES:
MENU 1      Php 640/head NET
MENU 2      Php 780/head NET

Third, you will choose your VENUE for P1.00 ONLY!!!  (Availability of venue is not guaranteed. You must advise us of your chosen venue and event date as soon as possible)

Don and Karen's Wedding last July 14, 2007 is what I would consider OUR WEDDING OF THE YEAR (at least as of today... hehe)

No, they didn't have their wedding reception in fernwood gardens nor in le pavillion or rockwell tent... They had their wedding reception in a BASKETBALL COURT!

They had around 200 guests for a party of lunch-cocktail and dinner (the dinner part konti na lang yung tao so they decided to keep some of the food and donate the rest of the food to the poor people who lived nearby! Ingenious thinking! Imagine, nagenjoy na sila, nakatulong pa sila).. Her guests were mostly coming from Dubai and others coming from provinces... but the biggest challenge of all on our part as a caterer, was not about the food or the service... the challenge was to TRANSFORM the basketball court in to something else!

And TRANSFORM we did! hehehe...
Even my own team was surprised with how the whole place looked.
And kahit super lakas ng hangin at maulan-ulan.. we still got it covered!

It was really a fantastic wedding... cause they were really a fabulous couple!
Did I mention pala that I was also their FULL WEDDING COORDINATOR?
Everything went well and we did the most part of our coordination and planning via EMAIL and CHAT only. Imagine, They arrived here only 1 week before the wedding.
But still it was very very successful!
Thanks to the support of their families especially karen's mami, the marriage docs were handled kahit wala sila dito.

So here's the link of the pictures taken during their wedding.. I hope you enjoy viewing them as we most definitely enjoyed being part of their wedding as well. Everybody enjoyed even my service waiters that they gave an impromptu dance number for the bride and groom.

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to pretend like a "photographer" side by side with the famous photo journalist, Sir Mel Cortez of Decisive Moments!

It's my first time to take photos of a Pre-Nup Photo Shoot and here are the few tips I picked up along the way.

If you are the subject of the photo shoot,
1) Make sure you bring comfortable clothes that represent your personality and bring extra clothes for a change in theme.
2) Having your trial make-up in the morning is highly recommended so that you can see how your make-up looks like in the pictures and also to have an actual experience of how the make-up stays on your face and if you feel comfortable with it even hours after the make-up has been done.
3) Be sure to eat something before the photo shoot so you look happy and beautiful and not like you've been starved.. ehehehe... But don't eat too much naman that you'll feel sluggish. :)
4) Be ready with some poses that you've seen in magazines or pictures that you liked. or poses that you've always wanted to be captured in picture. And last but not the least...
5) Relax. Be yourself and ENJOY the photo shoot.. you don't become the star of the camera everyday!

If you are the photographer,
1) Schedule the photo shoot around 3 or 4pm. I discovered that this is a good time to get that natural light and you'll also have enough time to take different poses in different areas and/or angles.
2) Make sure you know how to get to the photo shoot venue... *hehhehe... I got a bit lost kse..
3) When taking the shots, let the subjects be themselves and take pictures in an unobtrusive way. Take both "photo-journalistic" shots and "posed" shots. Posed shots are the pictures where you ask them to face the camera, move closer, smile, etc.. The photo-journalistic shots are the pictures where you just capture them as they are, i.e. laughing, smiling, kissing, joking around, dancing, etc.
4) Be ready with umbrella, just in case it rains.
5) Show the pictures to the subject or if possible provide them with a cd copy right away, so they can appreciate their shots and come home with big smiles and beaming faces.

Now check out the picture I posted... that's my shot! hehehe... papasa na ba?? hehe...
Taking a Pre-Nup Shoot is really FUN!

Every time I have a garden wedding event, especially in Paco Park, clients always ask me the question, "What do we do if it in case it rains?" Then I answer we can order tents at the latest, one day before the event. Then the next question is "How much for one tent? and how many tents are needed?" Then I answer, P2,500 per tent and you'll probably need 6 to 10 tents depending on your number of guests... That's a whopping P25,000 on top of their already booked garden venue rental!

Being the caterer, we are the one that is the most affected when the rain comes or even when its just a drizzle and there is no tent. During situations like these, my mother would always say let's just make the most out of it and do the best that we can.

Last March 10 at Paco Park, we had a wedding event and I was the emcee. The day before and during the setup there was no sign of any rain or drizzle at all. Then came the reception and it started to drizzle. People had to go back inside the chapel for cover while others took cover under the trees. The drizzle was going in and out and my staff were running around taking away the table napkins, turning the water goblets upside down and tilting the chairs so that the seatcovers won't be entirely wet. The bride and groom were starting to feel worried about the situation and I was feeling the same. When the drizzle stopped for a little while, I decided to start with the program already before the guests start to go home.

I started the program, introduced the sponsors and welcomed the bride and groom. After people had their pictures taken, it started to drizzle again. People didn't leave their seats but they had umbrellas over their heads while eating their dinner. And I have to say, it was a quite a challenge to be happy and perky as I emceed while embracing the rain.

At that moment, an ingenious solution came to my mind. Why not have umbrellas with our company name and company tag line on it?! It's perfect! Now I have an alternative solution to my clients who are caught unaware with the sudden rain! And an alternative solution to some clients who really do not want to spend on the tents. Having our company umbrellas with our tag line, "Caring is the True Product of Our Business" is just absolutely perfect!

One week after that, March 17, we had a wedding event at Paco Park again. And guess what, during set-up it started to drizzle again! This time instead of taking out the table napkins right away, we huddled up together and started to pray. Yes, we all prayed, "Please Lord, No Rain." Later I found out that even the bride and groom and a whole lot of people were praying for no rain. The rain stopped and somewhere in the middle of the wedding program the sun started to shine so bright and was now the opposite of rain.. cause its now scorching hot... haha.. God surely heard the prayer of no rain... That's the power of prayer eh?!

So now my ingenious solution still worked! Cause when we started bringing out the beach umbrellas (*which by the way incidentally had the same color motif as their wedding) we saw the faces of the guests lit up. They were laughing and happy of such an ingenious idea.. ahem ahem... And later I found out also, that the bride and groom during their picture taking per table were wondering where the umbrellas came from... hehehe... they were of course pleasantly surprised that their guests were taken cared of by us..

Although the umbrellas were originally intended for the rain, it turned out even better as a shield from the scorching sun.

After the wedding, my clients' Bernard and Amiegen do a silhouette kiss pose with the ingenious beach umbrella.

It was a job well done.
I have turned my emceeing-in-the-rain-experience into a positive ingenious solution! Yey!

Smiles all the way up to my ears.
