Alain & April's Wedding - A Journey that started at San Juan Nepomuceno Church

February 2, 2013 was the beginning of the rest of their lives . . . starting point was at the beautiful, classic and popular San Juan Nepomuceno Church in San Juan, Batangas . .

It was at 2:00pm when Alain and April exchanged vows and were united as one . . . They found each other at the other side of the world . . . went back to the Philippines to share this beautiful moment not just with their family, but with their friends and relatives!

Marriage they say is not just a sacrament but a commitment - to love one another for better or worse . . . and Alain and April showed great commitment by tracing back their roots and started this beautiful journey at this beauitful church.

Best,

2 Crazy People in a Garden vowing To Each Other (Jr & Abi Santos Wedding)

As their invitation displayed:

"No church, no priest, no entourage
Just two crazy people in a garden
Vowing to each other - a lifetime of love, jokes and random misadventures"

That's how unique, simple and cool the wedding of JR & Abi was at the UP Executive House last 22 December 2012.

I can really say that I enjoyed working with the couple on that day as they made it stress-free by just enjoying and making every moment count.

The couple were very creative as they came up with DIY wedding designs to make the simple garden a very unique one as they were assisted by accommodating and full of passion wedding-suppliers.

At the lobby area of UP Executive House is the couple's DIY-catchy names ~

Let's not forget the wedding invite which is another DIY project of the couple - designs were intricately made as if they hired a wedding invite supplier - talking about quality and superiority! (i still have the invite with me as souvenir)

Another DIY weddign guestbook of the coupke with ala scrabble type concept ~

A unique type of escort cards made by the couple were each of the names and the guests' designated table are hand- written by the couple in a special board and was pinned at a corkboard, this was displayed at the registration area ~

The couple's unique DIY photo gallery - they pasted their pictures at a paper plate and hanged it at the entrance area of UP Executive House ~

The couple's own version of their "JR & ABI Sweet Treats Station" ~

Once again, congratulations and best wishes Mr & Mrs JR and Abi Santos! It was a privilege working with 2 crazy yet cool, down to earth, generous and compassionate persons! God Bless!


Best,

Cel

Coming Soon: The Gab and Pristine Show!

This is my biggest event for the year - THE GAB AND PRISTINE SHOW ...

Coming Soon!

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.

Best,

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!

We'll be joining again in the March Bridal Fair, so hope to see everyone again!
