Ocular Visit at Santuario De San Jose

Excerpts from  Wikipedia.Org

"Santuario de San Jose (Sanctuary of Saint Joseph) is a parish church found inside the Green Hills East Village in Mandaluyong City, Philippines. It is designated as the Shrine of Saint Joseph the Patriarch. It is run by the Oblates of St. Joseph (OSJ). It is the home parish of different chapels: the Holy Family Chapel (inside the Greenhills Shopping Center) and the two chapels of Crame, Immaculate Conception and Sacred Heart.
It is named after its principal patron, St. Joseph, husband of Mary. Secondary patron saints include St. Joseph Marello, founder of the Oblates of St. Joseph, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Its principal feast day is on March 19, the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Secondary feasts include the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the feast day of St. Joseph Marello."
Had the chance to do an ocular inspection of the church (located at Buffalo corner Duke Streets in East Greenhills, Mandaluyong City) and I must say the church was elegant and beautiful in its own way.  I enjoyed my tour of the whole church surroundings (same with my son Gab and father HTV).

What I like about SJJ:
1.  such a lovely altar; it exudes solemnity.
2.  the aisle was perfectly right for a bride and groom to have their happy walk.
3.  there is a second level - photographers will have the time of their life making overhead shots
4.  wide space at the back for the entourage to stay for the processional
5.  it's airconditioned - just one of the few churches who has a/c
6.  plus it's not located in a congested area - well, since it's located inside an exclusive village for sure there's no uzi's or wedding crashers  (hehehe, sorry for the term)
7.  church personnel are fun to talk to, very accommodating 
8.  the door was beautifully designed; perfect for photo ops especially before the bride enters the church venue
9. the garden scenery was designed well (green grass, trees in the right places, flowers etc.)

Ocular Inspection at Makati Shangrila

Had an ocular inspection at Makati Shangrila yesterday and what can I say - talagang maganda, very elegant and classy talaga if you'll be having your wedding there. It would be my first time to coordinate a wedding here at Makati Shang and I am very excited (Matusalem-Vallestero Nuptials on February 15, 2010 wedding).


I was assisted by Ms. Avril Mariano - Events Manager of Makati Shang and very customer oriented and accommodating as she showed me Quezon Ballroom by accompanying me to the place and giving me suggestions of how to decorate the place.

My client Michelle (who's a very cool soon-t0-be bride by the way) will be having her wedding reception at Makati Shang and I need to check how big is Quezon Ballroom and what style can be incorporated with it.

The Quezon Ballroom has a 375 pax capacity - however Michelle's guests would comprises of 150 pax only, so we are thinking of what other things to include in the Ballroom (like photobooth, photo gallery of the couple etc.)


The Quezon Ballroom has a center foyer and low ceiling area so we really need to conceptualize how to make it more elegant and how the foyer will not distract the guests nor make it the center of attention in the venue.


Thank God, I'll be attending the free career enhancement seminar of Themes & Motifs on July 28 at PICC Forum, CCP Complex. One of the seminar is about Events Styling and the presentor will be Mr. Henry Pascual (whew! I am sooo excited to see him conduct lecture about event styling and learn new ideas for him). And hopefully through that seminar it will give me ideas how to event style the Quezon Ballroom.

My First Bridal Fair

Last June 6 & 7 was my first time to join a bridal fair - THE WEDDING FESTIVAL II BRIDAL EXHIBIT OF In Style Wedding Journal at the Trinoma Activity Center. It was a great experience, a memorable one - one for the books.

I came to one realization - BRIDAL FAIR is a great way to promote my small events services business. Yes, a great amount of money is involved in joining bridal fairs but it will also return instantly as prospective clients will get to know your services as well.


I was convinced by Anna to join the bridal fair and she gave me a very good spot. What were the things I considered before I joined the bridal fair? What goals would I like to achieve for that event?
  1. I'd like everyone to know that there is YOUR EVENTS SERVICES ... where events services need not be expensive;
  2. I'd like more exposure for my business - you see, wedding/debut planning and coordination is one business that does not really require HUGE AMOUNT of Capital, you just need to have good communication, management and organizational skills to be good in this kind of business;
  3. I'd like to help clients in my small way - that is offering quality services at an affordable price;
  4. I also considered the venue - Trinoma is great location with all people from the North would drop by at this beautiful mall before going home plus there is a connecting area to the MRT Station;
  5. This is a start-up in making my business full blast

It was a 2 day affair and yes, it was really tiring - physically tiring - but I enjoyed every moment giving out flyers, explaining to prospective clients our services, meeting new supplier friends and seeing the Bridal Fair in a new perspective.


This will not be the last, in fact I have decided if I would really like this business to prosper ... if I would really like to go full time - I need to join bridal fairs to create additional information awareness about our team, to meet prospective clients, to gain new supplier friends and to boost my SELF CONFIDENCE as a coordinator, emcee and entrepreneur.













This is YOUR EVENTS TEAM - Hencel (wearing red jacket), Ellaine (my creative coordinator), Michael and Eddie (the two boys in our team - very reliable and hardworking).

My Commitment

I was a bride once and I feel for all the bride's and groom's planning and preparing for their wedding. I know the expenses that they will incur, the pressures, the effort and of course, the time that it will consume. Wedding Preps can actually MAKE or BREAK a couple's relationship even their wedding. That is why I made a commitment to be of SERVICE - in my little, unique way.
I love weddings, debut, parties and family gatherings and I also understand that there is always a COST involved. That is why I made a commitment to charge a REASONABLE PRICE for these services that are within a couple's budget - that the couples may enjoy the benefits of the WEDDING COORDINATION SERVICES and make their wedding day a grandiose opportunity to spend quality time with families, friends - making this day truly memorable with sweet memories to cherish for a lifetime.
The fulfillment of my job as a COORDINATOR is not on the pay that I earn, it is just an ADD-ON. I am fulfilled and delighted in seeing that I am serving two people united as ONE and making their day special, stress-free and fun. Yes, it is stressful and the works of a coordinator is time consuming but it's all WORTH IT especially if you receive compliments or even short thank you messages from the couple you serviced with.
I was once an active community in a Catholic Charismatic Community but due to time schedule and location I had to give up attending but I made a commitment with God - I will continue to SERVE HIM -
... SERVE HIM through my husband, through my son, my family and friends and SERVE HIM through my clients - the soon-to-be wed couples who will take part in HIS Holy Sacrament of Matrimony. And I love serving. I thnk GOD for his divine providence and giving me all the assistance I need - HE truly is MIRACLE WORKING GOD - a FAITHFUL and LOVING FATHER.
I will continue serving GOD. I will continue to live by MY COMMITMENT.
