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

To everyone,

Thank you for visiting our booth at the Wedding Congress Asia last July 31 and August 1 at Megamall Megatrade Exhibit Hall.

To God be the glory always. HE NEVER FAILS.  It's a blessing to have a small business, more than that to have it GOING, GROWING and GETTING STRONGER in almost 4 years now. 

We'll be joining another bridal fair this September 25 and 26 c/o Themes N' Motifs Wedding Expo at the SMX Convention Center.  Join us and learn of our HAPPY WALKS!!!

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

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. 

Wedding Congress has lined up activities for 2 days that I'm sure everyone will surely enjoy (not just couples, but even guests, suppliers, family, relatives etc.)

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!

Your Events Team off to another wedding gig - Mount Carmel and Fr. Horan Function Hall. Another blessing, another event - to God be the Glory!

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!

Your Events Team will be going South - Vivere Hotel and Fernbrook. Keeping the faith and the passion burning - it's all about serving God! To my God be the glory!

Mighty To Save

A beautiful Christian Song that my heart bespeaks of right now - this is how I feel right now for all the blessings that God is giving me - He is so faithful, a Miracle Working God - He never fails:


MIGHTY TO SAVE


Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave. 

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave. 

My Saviour, you can move the mountains,
You are mighty to save,
You are mighty to save.
Forever, Author of Salvation,
You rose and conquered the grave,
Yes you conquered the grave

Food Service

Just want to share with you types of food service management  I know that I'd usually encounter in my events:

1. AMERICAN SERVICE - Food is plated in the kitchen and then served to seated guests
2. BUFFET - Guests help themselves from large displays of food
3. BUTLERED SERVICE - Servers mingle, offering trays of hors d'oeuvres or drinks
4. FAMILY STYLE - Guests help themselves to large servings of food placed on the table
5. FOOD STATIONS - Different types of cuisines are divided into several themed locations (i.e. sushi, crepes, tapas) in a reception area; promotes mingling
6. FRENCH SERVICE - A waiter serves each guest individually from a tray held by another waiter; special equipment such as a gueridon (wheeled cart) and rechaud (heating unit) is sometimes used
7. RUSSIAN SERVICE - Similar to French service, but waiters hold trays of food in one hand and serve guests with the other

Well, for weddings, the most common would usually be American Service, Russian Service and Buffet Service.

Buffet Service Style

Russian Service

American Service

Here in the Philippines, the most common would  be BUFFET SERVICE for the guests and RUSSIAN SERVICE for the Principal Sponsors/ VIP (this is also known as plated service or sit down).

So there, happy learning folks!
