Involved in Accident - A unique prenuptial photoshoot at the MMDA impounding site

I'm always fascinated by unique prenuptial photoshoots thought of by my clients and executed and captured well by their photo/video supplier.

Just like in the case of my July 14, 2012 couple Engr Reymar &Dra Joyce Ann Mercado whose theme was "Involved in Accident" and what a great way to choose the MMDA's impounding site as their prenuptial venue.

Their creative juices paid off with the beautiful moments and poses captured by Studio 1 Photography.  The secret here is number 1 choose your prenuptial them, number 2 choose your prenuptial venue, number 3 leave all your worries behind, number 4 enjoy the day - after all once the photos are made it will be yours forever to see and lastly just smile and let your photographers capture those perfect shots!

Sharing with you "pictures" that the couple sent me that I also used for their customized guestbook.

Best,

Narvaez Weddings - word of the mouth does pay off!

2008 Legaspi - Narvaez Wedding ... 2012 Carpio - Narvaez Wedding.

It was a great opportunity and a humbling experience to have worked with 2 Narvaez's at 2 different years at a 2 different venues ...

I've worked first with Janina Narvaez-Legaspi last October 17, 2008 when she and her husband Jan Legaspi trusted us to become their coordinators - reception venue at the Gazebo Royale.  It was such a great experience as my team was young then - they were such a down to earth couple who will never let you feel that you are a supplier but rather like a friend ..

(Your Events Team with Mr&Mrs Jan and Janina Legaspi at Gazebo Royale)

And then after 3 years I received a text from Johana Narvaez as she mentioned that she was Janina's younger sister and that she'll be getting married in January 14, 2012 - this time she'll be getting our OTD cooordination with emcee services - and should I say the rest was history.

(Your Events Team with Mr&Mrs Dennis and Johana Carpio at Ibarra's Garden)

I'm thankful to Jan and Janina for still remembering us after 3 years and making us once again a part of their lives - this time their sister's lives.  I could really say that "word of mouth" in a competitive times like this in the wedding industry does pay off.

Mean - my assistant head coordinator, bride's shadow and cousin rolled into one

Yes, you got the title right - Mean - my assistant head coordinator, bride's shadow and cousin rolled into one! She is Mary Ann, first cousin from my mother's side and has been Your Events Team original member ever since.





So, we've been working harmoniously together as a team since 2007 and now it's 2012 so almost 5 years now! Whew! What a feat for our partnership ... I guess that's how you define passion and how we found extraordinary joy in doing events.


I consider Mean my assistant head coordinator - she can manage an event while I'm having a meeting or while I'm at another event, she can also be a church head coordinator, she can be a bride's shadow and she can also be a reception head coordinator.  That I would say is the mark of a true Events Coordinator - whatever events assignment you put her, she'll give you results.


So to my dear cousin Mean, thank you for from the bottom of my heart - truly the passion and the fire in you keeps on burning!


Below are some of the wacky shots that Mean and I had in one of our events at Patio Ibarra Quezon Ave:

Happy Wedding Anniversary Francis and Alerie Andres!!!!

They were my June 4, 2011 wedding couple (church was at Mount Carmel and reception at Light of Love).  Their wedding suppliers were considered to be the best in their field - Lourd Ramos, Smart Shot Studio, Anima Choir, Pose and Print Photobooth, Rejectkrew Light and Sounds and Your Events Team (my team!) ... 


But more than my wedding couple I consider them my good friends! They are two unique individuals where their great personalities complements them well making them such a beautiful couple.  June 4 marks their 1 year wedding anniversary as a couple and it's always a privilege that my team and I were part of that grandiose event!


I know in my heart of hearts that Francis and Alerie will have a happy walk all the days of their lives .. my prayer now is that our good Lord grant them their heart's one desire and to have either a 'lil alerie or 'lil francis soon!


To Alerie and Francis, keep the love and the fire burning! My prayers are always for both of you! Congratulations!!!

A good investment for your kid's future ... Who knows your kid might be the next Lito Genilo, Danny Ignacio or Raymond Fortun?

70th Nautical Birthday Celebration at Amaranth Garden Venue

Had the privileged of hosting the 70th Nautical Birthday Celebration of Ret. Capt. Samuel Flores at Amaranth Garden last March 31.  He's the devoted, loving, hardworking and down to earth father of Ms. Love and Dra. Rea Trinidad who were my contacts at Amaranth Garden.





"He defied the seas .." from Sir Sammy's AVP teaser and indeed he defied the seas as he was a very hardworking Captain of the Ship who traveled to different parts of the world in which Japan is his favorite. After retirement, he devoted his life by serving in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary Community.  And I'm sure all his family are so proud of what he had became of.  (Capt Sammy doing his Thank You Message)

It was also that day that we were celebrating the worldwide Earth Hour - 1 hour of "lights-off" in the venue to partake in that worldwide celebration.  And part of the programme was the "Fire Dance" by Dra. Rea Trinidad and I just have 2 words for it - "amazing" and "exemplary!"

(Fire Dance by Dra Rea)

Not so many are able to live their passion and I am thankful that I am able to live mine this early part of my life.  Thank you to Dra Rea and of course Ms. Love for the friendship, trust and income opportunity that they would give me whenever their venue needs my service.

(Cel with Ms. Love)

Here's a glimpse of Amaranth Garden from my mobile:

I was mesmerized with the Totally Mesmerized Choir and Acoustic Band

Disclaimer:  I'm not their manager hehehe, but I am one of their fans and aside from that I consider them as good wedding supplier-friend!


Meet Totally Mesmerized - a chamber choir and acoustic band rolled into one!  The first time I've worked with them was 2009 and since then as our businesses and reach as wedding suppliers grew, so was the friendship.

(Cel Barrio together with Totally Mesmerized team Diane and Shiela at Taal Vista Hotel)

They can actually sing for both church and reception ceremony - inclusions of quartet singers with guitarist, keyboardist and percussionist.  Aside from that they are very flexible, accommodating and friendly ... in other words "walang ere, cool and down to earth".  And they are totally dedicated to unforgettable moments!  


I really enjoyed working with them especially with Shiela and Diane who never fails to answer all my queries.  Thank God for the friendship!  I guarantee their voice and song quality, I vouch for their efficiency and effectiveness and I'm sure any couple who book them will be totally mesmerized!


For wedding inquiries, you may visit their page at https://sites.google.com/site/totallymesmerized/home/contact-us or send sms or call Diane +63 (915) 697-4374 or Shiela Smart - +63 (910 475-0311 or Sun - +63 (932) 769-1445.
