Stag and Hen Parties
Stag and Hen Parties?
Yes, stag and hen parties are still wedding related.
Stag Parties also known as the bachelor parties.
Hen Parties also known as bridal showers.
So is this still needed?
Well according to traditions, the stag and hen parties' end goal is to help the bride and groom set up their own home.
I remember when my best girlfriends Alma, Ellaine, Jinkee, Mezhel and Susan gave me a bridal shower of sort with simple gifts. We just had an enjoyable lunch where we celebrated it at Jinkee's house and she cooked a sumptous meal.
In this day and age, stag and hen parties are social rituals that couples participate in. These gatherings are regarded as the soon-to-be bride and groom's last hurrahs. But I guess, there's more to the last hurrah because a deeper symbolism of this is that they leave their single-hood behind and begin their days of wedded bliss.
It's up to the couple how they would like to celebrate it - individually with each of their friends or together. What needs to be remembered is that they will enjoy that moment.
Usually the hen parties is the more conservative and wholesome ritual. Normally organized by the bride's sister or her bestfriend. Meanwhile, stag parties based on experience is filled with more excitement. For the bachelors, it's really their chance for a last hurrah, sort of a rowdy party at a friend's house, a night at a bar etc.
For all the hype attached to these events, having them is, on some level, an integral part of the wedding preparations as this allows you to get into the proper mindset as you walk down the aisle.
By having a last hurrah of sorts/parties/gatherings, couples are able to make the distinction that this is where they stop living solely for themselves and start living a life for two.

10 Wedding Mistakes
Just want to share with everyone 10 Wedding Mistakes that a bride and groom should never do:
1. Forgetting what the day is really about and losing perspective. It’s only 4-5 hours of your life. Don't let stress get in your way - enjoy and savor t your wedding date!
2. Not involving your significant other in the planning process. Wedding is just a day; marriage is forever - even picking a hotel for the dressing venue, color and flavor of the cake needs decision of the 2 parties involved.
3. Getting intoxicated the night before can seriously take a toll on you. You’re going to be on your feet for hours upon hours the next day – Get your rest. Listen to your coordinators - a day before the wedding should be your REST DAY, your CHILLAX DAY!
4. Being inconsiderate. Asking your guests to wear particular color, bringing this particular gift etc. Let them feel that their presence or them gracing the occasion is the most important thing a newlywed couple can ask for.
5. Not adhering to a budget. Enough said. Please,please do stick to your budget. If you have the money, go for quality and the best suppliers but it doesn't mean that you spend a million for your wedding and that million would be coming from loans, credit cards etc. Do not start your marriage life in debt.
6. Not having a Plan B. What if it rains? Do you have a back-up plan? As I always tell my clients "Think of the worst case scenario..."
7. Not knowing your officiant and your emcee really well. These are the leaders of your ceremony and reception – They should have a clear idea of your expectations. Better to meet them ahead of time; if time doesn't permit at least interview people who've worked with them or talk to them over the phone in that way you'd be able to build rapport at least in a short time with them before the Big Day.
8. Wasting Money. Is it really necessary to get the P5,000 pair of shoes for your day? Figure out what are the most important things to you – and go from there.
9. A lack of personality. Couples would get cupcakes as their souvenirs but don’t put any of their own style and personality into it. Wedding is all about PERSONALITY, reflecting the couple as two different persons uniting as one.
10. Letting the wedding take over your life; and your friends’ lives; and your families’ lives. It’s a large part of your life, but make sure that you don’t lose too much focus over it. It is just a ONE DAY event, yes, it is the beginning of the rest of your lives but don't let that day dominate you, your friends, your families, your perspective, your decisions...

Wedding Motif in 2011
It's November and soon we will approach Year 2011 ...
I'm excited because 2011 definitely will be a blast for my business because now I am claiming by faith that God will be providing me with repeat and new clients not just in coordination and hosting services but definitely in other services that I've offered this year like bubble machine, photobooth rental, missalette etc.
Just to keep everyone updated - wedding motif in 2011 is going to be BRIGHT. I guess it's sort of a carry over of 2010's wedding motif which ranges from deep red, teal, violet, turquoise, platinum, yellow , sage and fuschia.
And 2011 will give more couple more choices because it is tropical, fun, whimsical and bright - definitely amazing in all its aspect.
Colors that would dominate 2011 would surely include Apple green, mauve, lilac, hot pink, slate grey, celadon, aged gold, coral, red, violet purple, mocha / chocolate / brown, navy, emerald / pine green / dark cyan, clementine orange, and yellow.
But those are just based from artist's researches and personal opinion. Wedding Motif should reflect your personality as a couple. So if you want your motif to be black that would be pretty cool, too! There's no golden rule for wedding motif - just follow your heart and everything will fall into its place.
The most important thing in a wedding is not just the motif but a couple's love and commitment to each other.

My favorite WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS
Some photographer suppliers can be pain in the *ss for coordinators ( I know one team whom I will never ever recommend to my couples - they said they are REAL but I don't think they are really REAL hehehe). But I would say majority are fun to work with and are great company.
I've worked with the best, coolest and super down to earth photographers and so far have chosen my favorites - so the following are the my favorite photographers ...
I've worked with the best, coolest and super down to earth photographers and so far have chosen my favorites - so the following are the my favorite photographers ...
Of course, top of my list is none other than the super down to earth and cool lawyer and wedding photographer - Sir Archie or Atty. Fortun .... walang tatalo sa kakwelahan at super bait... enjoyed every moment working with him...
Next in my list of course would Nice Print's Best - Bernie and Rupert (included is Harlyn of CVJ Catering). I love their shots and they are such a great company. Nakakasawa na nga kasi we've worked with them most of the time, hehehe, but it's always a blessing to see how they work and how passionate they are taking every shots in the event.
Of course, si Kuya Zandro of Smart Shots - simple lang pero galing ng mga shots - one of the best! In fact I always tell him his shots are at par or sometimes mas maganda pa kay ****... hehehe that's our secret. He's always the ever reliable, simple but cool Kuya Zandro. I also love the works of Archie and his work ethics (too bad I can't find our pictures together hehehe)
Another favorite is Sir Richard of Treasured Memories, matipuno, super down to earth din and walang arte talaga.
Another favorite photographer of mine is Sir Danny Ignacio of Vignette Photography - yun nga lang can't find our pictures din but I love his works and of course how he handles his team and how he deals with the rest of the suppliers - galing!
Of course, isama na rin natin ang aking events assistant (groom's assistant/photographer) na si Mike, very consistent in getting pictures during our wedding - thanks Mike! - kulang na lang sa yo is DSLR and pwede na ...
These are the guys I often recommend to my clients - not because they are the best in their field but because they are easy to work with, has a lot of passion with what they do and are such a great company!

Who is my bodyguard during my client meeting?
Aside from my father who usually accompanies me during my client meeting and Bullet (name of my car) who's been my reliable transport service, I also have a bodyguard who accompanies me and he is a little adorable and sweet boy who would patiently play at the mall's playground or kiddie playhouse or would just wait at the car until he falls asleep and would always tell me "sama ako work mama tapos bili ako toys" and then he would also say "jesus, thank you sa work ni mama para marami siya pera at marami ako toys" ... amusing and adorable.
So, who is my little bodyguard? Of course, no other than my son who has always been supportive of what I do - GABRIEL.
I'd like him to see what I usually do so that when he grows up he would have the mindset of an entrepreneur-business minded person. During client meeting I'd buy him toys that are not expensive and would reiterate to him that it is his prize for being a good boy and would tell him that if he likes the expensive one we need to save for it which he would readily agrees.
As a proud mother, I'd like to share the many pictures we've had where he accompanied me during my client meetings ...
So there ... Praying for more client meetings with Gab and hopefully in the future he'll be joining not just my bodyguard but one of my events assistant.

Cel

Toy Story Theme: 4th Birthday Celebration of Gab
For mother's like me (and a coordinator/planner on the sideline), it's always an enjoyable moment to prepare your kid's birthday celebration.
During Gab's 1st birthday Celebration and Christening the theme was SESAME STREET as during that time his favorite was Elmo, Big Bert and Ernie and Cookie Monster. The celebration took place at the National Federation Women's Club Function Hall.
On his 2nd birthday the theme was Narnia - which we just celebrated in our Sampaloc Residence. We rented kiddie chairs and tables and while they were enjoying the food, they all watched the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
Gab's 3rd birthday doesn't have any animation/cartoon type of theme but I just dubbed it potluck food fiesta
as Gab celebrated his birthday together with his Tita Ryza and Tito Brian's Birthday. Overflowing food as relatives and family members brought each of their share to make the 3 celebration extravagant hehehe.
Well this time, Gab's 4th birthday celebration is back with a theme - TOY STORY. Just a simple celebration for family and relatives and then I just brought polvoron from Goldilocks that has the Toy Story theme and coloring books to give to my nephews and nieces and they all enjoyed it.

It doesn't have to be an extravagant celebration what matters is that Gab is enjoying that moment, he is enjoying his birthday celebration.
Although next year, I'm thinking of a big celebration for his birthday (sort of including our next baby's christening as well). With God's grace I hope it will be come true since Gab will be turning 5 next year.

Your Events at Wedding Expo - September 25 and 26 (SMX Convention)
I always enjoyed joining Theme's N' Motif's Bridal Fair. I believe they are one of the most reliable, trustworthy and organized bridal fair organizer in the country. Based on past history, I'd get 40% of my clients from them (40% referral from previous clients and 20% from online clients c/o Multiply, Sulit etc.) They'd really invest in marketing and promotions (not just billboards and print ads but even in social networking sites, unlike other bridal fairs).
And since there were so many guests/couple-delegates that day, I didn't get the chance to take a picture of all clients who booked me but I had some here to show you guys... enjoy!

Your Events Team is a HAPPY TEAM
Some would say that coordinators are the most stressed supplier on the event day - i would say yes, because aside from the couple and the guests, we practically take care of the rest of the suppliers as well.
Tiring and stressful it maybe but we are enjoying every moment that we are in an event ... we live by our motto "WE ARE TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED ..."
Your Events is a Happy Team, every event is a blessing. Instead of thinking of the stress, we think of the countless blessings that God gives us.
After every event, we chillax! We chill and relax ...

Eric and Michelle_2.14.2010
Meet one of my favorite couples ... Eric and Michelle
Michelle was super cool, super down to earth and super transparent. I'd like to say during the wedding preps (she got my full coordination service) we became good friends - from her deepest sentiments, to her natural and usual character and fun times - she all shared it with me and our team. Sobrang kalog! What you see is what you get. A very rare woman exuding a very passionate and simple personality.
Eric naman is very soft spoken, he is around 6feet tall but he's got a child-like attitude, very patient and compassionate heart (i'm sure those were just some of the characteristics that Michelle loved in Eric). Their personalities were totally different but I guess that's what makes them click - the best of both worlds...
I will surely miss both of them. It was such a privilege working as their coordinators, it was an honor to develop a special friendship with this beautiful couple
To Michelle and Eric, thank you for all the kind words, for the gifts and for the opportunity that you gave my team to be part of your wedding day.
- She was my best buddy during my wedding preparation. Sometimes my conflict schedule namen para mag meet pro d naman nya kasalanan, so more on fone call kme. Nag aabono din sya s ibang expenses pag may kailangan bilhin at hindi ko p ma transfer money s kanya. I will miss her cuz she's been a friend to me during my stressful days. :-) (from imichelleandmyself.blogspot.com)-

A tribute to my nephew TRISTAN, a baby and an angel forever in our hearts
August 5- a special day to remember my nephew Tristan. Our Father took him last August 5, 2007 - such a painful day because he joined God's glory 3 days before Gab celebrated his 1st year birthday; Tristan then, was only 9 months old.
I remember Tristan as a very strong baby - you can feel that he is really fighting despite him being diagnosed with brain tumor. I would say he's like a soldier, a very strong soldier fighting the battle of his lifetime. We were filled with so much hope that he'd make it but I guess, our Good Lord has better plans for him and for us. It was a painful experience but it made us strong, bonded and whole as a family. The experience made us realize that yes, God is a miracle-working God and HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR US.
It's been 3 years since ... I would still the pain whenever I see his pictures or pass by UST or PGH where he's been diagnosed most of the time but I would also smile and look at the sky because I know Tristan is safe with our Father - he's now angel - a baby angel forever.
We love you Tristan and we are proud how you fought the battle - you are a warrior! you are God's true soldier!
My prayer: " Father, thank you for being a father to Tristan all these years. Truly, he remains a baby in our hearts - an angel and a baby forever."
Best,
Tita Cel

Wedding Congress on July 31 to August 1, 2010
Your Events Team will be participating in the upcoming Wedding Congress on July 31 to August 1, 2010 at Megamall Megatrade Exhibit Hall as one of the Exhibitors.
Below is an excerpt from the Wedding Congress Website
So everyone, see you this coming Saturday and Sunday! God bless!
Best,
Cel
Below is an excerpt from the Wedding Congress Website
What is the Philippine Wedding Congress ?
- It's a summit wherein soon-to-wed couples, top industry suppliers, latest trends and updates, respected speakers, famous celebrities converge in a three day convention.
- It is the only "Bridal Convention" in the country today.
How is it different from the usual bridal fairs?
- The Wedding Congress allows you to learn and relearn facts and information about choosing suppliers that would realize your wedding. Learning sessions on image and projection, make-up, photography and videography, style, sound and effects plus legal and church requirements will be given for free!!!
- We assure maximum exposure per exhibitor with the limited number of competition per category.
- The usual gangway/aisle used in a bridal fair is about 1 meter or around 3 ft of space, the Wedding Congress maintains the gangway space of almost 6 feet thereby giving the guest and the exhibiting company ample space for interaction.
- With the maximum capacity of the Megatrade Hall 2 at around 250 booths, the Wedding Congress set a maximum number of only 100 exhibiting company thereby freeing the guest and exhibiting company of the "tiangge" atmosphere.
- We believe that couples/clients are not statistics or numbers but people looking for supplier partners in making their dream wedding come true. Awards given to suppliers are "Best in Customer Service" and "Best in Booth Design".
- The normal "Zoning System" used in the majority of bridal fairs are "same category zoning". This method adds pressure to both clients and exhibitors, it does not make decision-making easy for the clients. The Wedding Congress makes sure that you are the only exhibitor in your category occupying your lane. For the exhibitors, we believe you can detail more if you are given ample time and space to explain yourself and your services. For the guests, it makes decision-making easier for you.
- There is a "Convention Area" located at the far left of the exhibition hall. This area is for the different learning sessions design for both guests and the exhibiting suppliers. We believe that it is our duty not only to earn a living but also to uplift our industry through further education.

RejectKrew - my favorite lights and sounds system
If clients would ask me whom I would refer to as lights and sounds provider for their wedding day - I would always say Elmer's REJECTKREW (www.rejectkrew.multiply.com), no doubt - no questions asked!
I don't have a cut from him hehehe but I've worked with him many times as coordinator and host and he is really one of the best. I could say we have a common ground - passion and love in what we do - we don't do it just for the money but FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME.
He was an engineer by profession (correct me if I'm wrong, elmer hehehe!) and decided to go on early retirement from the Corporate world and pursue what he loves most CREATIVITY AND ARTS in the LIGHTS AND SOUNDS business. He is a cool dad but girls don't worry, he is single (hehehe, sorry elmer!) but he's so workaholic. Aside from that because of his expertise (he knows the in's and out's of the wedding industry) he is sooo easy to work with - I just give him the program, just a run through and that's it! He knows what he is doing and I'm sure many brides can attest to that as well. A very funny person, easy to talk to, down to earth and good natured one.
So everyone, I am promoting Elmer's Rejectkrew - SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!
I don't have a cut from him hehehe but I've worked with him many times as coordinator and host and he is really one of the best. I could say we have a common ground - passion and love in what we do - we don't do it just for the money but FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME.

HTV SR., my father - The SIXTH MAN in YOUR EVENTS TEAM -
June 20 is father's day.
This blog is about my father. A Tribute to the SIXTH MAN in YOUR EVENTS TEAM. I call him the Main Man, to go-to-guy in terms of logistics, transportation, set up troubleshooting, our team's driver, the events watch guard and one of my inspiration. He and my mother CPV are the reason why I have this business. They are business owners - their business sent us to school, gave us food and made us who we are now. It is because of them that gave me a different perspective about having my own business.
HTV Sr. is proud Cebuano from the Villagonzalo Clan - he is the silent but ever reliable and supportive person that he is in all the events we had. He was there when I started, whenever there's a wedding event, whenever I have meetings - he's always there.
Here is a picture of HTV with the limousine in Fernbrook.
HTV or "papa" as we call him and "tatay" as his apo's call him or "HTV" as his work colleagues and staff calls him, is a Construction Contractor by profession. He may not be a licensed Civil or whatever Engineer but he has the knowledge and skills of an engineer, architect and manager combined - in fact I would say more - HE IS A LIVING PROOF THAT EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER. He has the eye for every details and the greatest attitude - very kind in heart, compassionate, god-fearing and truly a good natured person.
I got my WACKY and FUNNY side from him -
Here's one picture that shows our acting prowess hehehe... I am the real estate agent and he is my client hehehe ...
another acting that we did in one of the bridal fairs - I told him to act as if he was sleeping hehehe...

And as always this is his favorite photobooth shot - ala criminal shot hehehe
He's a well-versed traveler which makes it advantegeous on our part because he knows every streets, every highways, every shortcuts, knows how to strategize in the road and the best of all - a very good defensive driver ...
and what I love most about him is that he is ALWAYS GAME -
So I hope through this simple blog post he'll know that I am very privileged to have worked with him in my business, in all our events and in our life (I'm sure my team would say that, too) ...
More than that, I am proud to say that HE IS MY FATHER. Happy father's day, papa!
