They Came, They Saw, They Conquered (The Food!)

While Dylan and his group were busy doing the Ceremony Setup at the Mango Avenue,
(http://joyagustin.blogspot.com/2008/05/april-05-2008-blogs-from-suppliers.html) Carla and his Manila Catering Services Group were also busy doing the Reception Setup. For weeks, I am monitoring the weather at the Antipolo Area (courtesy of Dylan), and for four consecutive days, the rain has consistently showered the area.
Come morning of April 5, while we are having our breakfast at the hotel, Dylan again informed me that there is heavy rain in the area so they stopped doing the setup. Well, the Lord is indeed good, He gave what we have asked for because later in the morning, the rain stopped and the sun showed up.

Indeed, it was a Celebration of God's Grace, Goodness and Glory.

What's for Today?

For the B&G. One comment, though, was that people say that the B&G gazebo was a little far from the guests.

During the time when we were planning for our wedding, we received an advise:

"People will forget how beautiful the bride is, or how gorgeous the groom, or how beautiful the ceremony. But they will long, long, remember the food".

Well, seems to us that we need to heed this advise, so we really made sure that the guests would be satisfied with the food. Credits to Carla for accomodating our requests and making sure we've got the best deals. Simple tips and suggestions were also a big help.

The hard part during the planning stage was knowing the estimated number of guests that will come. Actually, the number of guests will widely affect your budget. Well, we really, really enjoyed (really!!) this part of knowing who's in (and who's out) on our Guest List. The Guest List proved to be very reliable. Boy! Our Guests didn't fail us! Except for some of course, who didn't make it for justifiable reasons.

They Came, They Saw, and yes! Our Guests Conquered the Food!

April 05, 2008- Blogs from Suppliers

[I felt i needed to post this, even if it's more than a month after our wedding. Well, anyway, I hope our 2 dear suppliers wouldn't mind me grabbing some pictures posted at their website.]




Ever wonder what happened during our wedding?

Take it from our wonderful suppliers' blogs:
Mike Santos (Mr. Fruity) of The Mango Farm
&
Dylan Gozum of Vatel Manila


=========================



Mr. Fruity's Blogs about the Wedding:


We met Mike one night on December 2006 when we first visited the Mango Farm. He was even surprised that we book so very early, considering that the wedding will be on April of '08.


We were surprised that the usual paparazzi Mike was missing during our Ceremony. (We can't find him anywhere in the farm). Later on, we saw him sneaking and taking pictures "behind the scenes", literally, behind the ceremony area, under the mango trees.






It was the first time that a wedding reception was held on that large part of the farm. We decided to take that site because a large number of visitors (around 300) are expected to come. The visitors didn't fail us. It went to around 280 pax or more. Kudos to the Mango Farm's spacious area and Manila Catering's sumptuous food. We had more than enough for all.

On Dylan being part of the Wedding:



Ironically, while we met Mike at a very (very) early stage of our wedding preparations, we met Dylan a week or two before the W-day. He provided the much-needed setup that fits our requirements.


We were supposed to get the "capiz" setup, but Dylan suggested that we take the new ceremony setup which he is conceptualizing (inspired by that "i forgot the name of the hollywood star" wedding). So it turned out that we were the first to use the new setup because the original couple who proposed the setup is scheduled to wed at a later part of April.




The supposed to be 3 pm wedding started at around 5 pm. Dylan was teasing me that we might have been waiting for the rain to come before we start the ceremony. Blame it on the late comers!


So when everyone is here, we're ready to "let's get it on!".
