Acacia Hotel Manila

First time I've been in Acacia Hotel Manila located in Filinvest, Alabang and I was truly amazed - not because the hotel is still new (operations started October 2011) but because of the cozy and feel-good ambience and unique and intricate designs not just of the lobby but also the facade, the driveway, the furnitures/fixtures, function hall, interiors and  (damn!) even the Wash Room is so perfect I feel like I could sleep there all day .

Stepping at the hotel gave me the impression that aside from the 100% Filipino world class hospitality they are offering, definitely it would showcase a world class hotel service - I'm sure they would give Vivere and Bellevue a run for the money!

I had a great time in Acacia Hotel - during my pre-planning with the team they even gave us water for a drink while staying at the hotel's lobby.  It's not much but the very thought that they offered 4 glasses of water to ordinary people is a STATEMENT that they will be offering GOOD and QUALITY SERVICE - i will sure promote them to my friends, work colleagues and client-couples.

So there, I'm not one of Acacia Hotel's stockholder (although I'm praying) but I do hope you're as thrilled as I am to try the hotel one of these days for a relaxing accommodation.  You may also visit their site at www.acaciahotelsmanila.com

Your Events Customized Guestbook

One of the freebies I'd give my couples would be Your Events Customized Guestbook - a scrapbook type with DIY designs where guests would be able to give unlimited messages to the newlyweds.

Why do I offer customized guestbook for the couple?  

1. Signature Frame is an "old" thing for weddings - that means it's no longer the trend, it's no longer the "in-thing".  Personally, I never liked Signature Frames, as it is space consuming plus the guests have a limited space to write on their messages and of my personal question "what should I do to it after the wedding?"
2. I'd always tell my client-couple that majority of my couples do not allow their PRENUP GUESTBOOK for guests' sign-off.  Would you really want someone to write on those precious pictures?  Would you still be printing another copy of those prenuptial pictures?  Wouldn't it be great if the Prenuptial Guestbook is kept as a wedding album without any scribbled messages on it?

This 2 main reason gave me the opportunity to offer this DIY Customized Guestbook to my couples.  So there, make sure that all of you drop by at Themes and Motifs Wedding Expo on March 10 and 11 and choose the DIY Customized Guestbook as one of your freebies should you decide to book our services.

Below is a sample of Your Events Team DIY Customized Guestbook:

Smart Shot's Zandro Quimson

Meet Smart Shot's Zandro Quimson - I've worked with him many times and as always he was a great company, has an eye for details and down to earth. 


I can't remember the many times we've worked together, few couples came to mind - he was there during Gerry and Mars Ilagan Wedding at Calaruega - Taal Vista, Francis and Alerie Andres' Wedding at Mount Carmel - Lights of Love, Joseph and Junel Balon's Wedding at St. James Alabang-Portofino Heights and most recently with Jeffrey and Magan Redulla's Wedding at St. Peregrine-Portofino Heights (just to mention a few).


He's got a strong personality but I believe behind that strong persona is one person who's burning with PASSION and DEDICATION to his craft!  Indeed, it is truly a privilege working with Kuya Zandro!
