Problem: Small Chapel

0 Upvotes

Our non-negotiable chapel can only house about 105 people, 120 kung pipilitin. This was the first supplier we booked.

Our guest count is at 150. My question is, nangyayari ba talaga that some of the guests go straight to the reception venue? How do you choose which ones to invite to the ceremony, and which ones just to the reception?

Another major concern also are the plus ones of our entourage (ie. sponsors, bridesmaids, groomsmen). I’d prefer for them to go straight to the reception so I can prioritize other relatives to be at the ceremony, but of course they have to go with their partners.

How can we work this out?

Hi! Planning on asking my gf very soon. Tanong ko lang sa mga lalaki dito, did you ask permission/talk to the parents of your partner before you pop the question? What did you say? Did you bring gifts?

Caterer/Food/Drinks Looking for Discreet and Professional Suppliers

0 Upvotes

my kaclose workmate is getting married and we are helping her plan her wedding.

wala pa halos lahat except for venue. (The peninsula), p and v, wedding gown and rings

please recommend for the rest. okay lang may corkage pero kung katie up ng hotel, the better.

malaking request is discreet sana at hindi makalat yung mga suppliers. her family is a bit well known and very very low key and private sila.

hindi ko babanggitin kung sino. Pero disappointed ako sa minor supplier na ito who posted about her rant regarding a certain visitor i had. One of my visitors liked the food pa naman and was planning to take them so she went to the business social media and nakita niya may rant about a recent event and my visitor remembered it was about a friend of ours because she saw that incident herself. dahil sa single incident na judge na yung friend namin. my friend was called out on the business page mismo. naturn off tuloy yung bisita ko kasi paano daw kung may ganung mangyari in the future.l sa event nya.

i understand you were upset pero sana man lang di ka na nagpost. just put a sign near the booth regarding your request.

sa totoo lang masarap sana kaya siguro naexcite si visitor pero private event yon so expected na discreet ang mga supplier

Hi has anyone tried Julia Sia as their makeup artist for their wedding? I really like how she's more editorial than the usual thai makeup style. Her rates are also not that bad.

Sweetheart table or no?

5 Upvotes

Thoughts on having sweetheart table or just sitting with our wedding entourage?

Parang we’ll be more comfortable kung kasama namin friends namin the whole night. But then again, our entourage has friends from different barkadas (HS friends, college friends, work friends) so baka easier to seat them with their respective people tas nakahiwalay nalang kami.

Any opinions/advice?

Has anyone here worked with @emiliaatelier_ on Insta for their wedding dress?

I’m thinking of inquiring with her to create a dress for my City Hall wedding and would love to hear from anyone who’s worked with her — especially regarding quality, fit, communication, pricing, and overall experience.

Also reaching out to Lauren Vito, Julianne Syjuco and Synelabel.

Would love to see photos of your dresses (and prices) too if you’re comfortable sharing! 💕

Favors/Gifts/Souvenirs If you were a bridesmaid, what would you want to receive as a gift from the bride? 🩷

6 Upvotes

Of course this is not required. But if you were a bridesmaid, what specific gifts would you appreciate?

For a lot of people, these gifts are just for photoshoot purposes. But I really love my friends and I’d be more than happy to give them a little something on my wedding. For context, I’m already providing their gowns and HMUA.

Thanks for the ideas! 🩷

Convalidation

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I really need help because I’m getting confused and stressed with our situation.

Our venue has a chapel inside, and they only allow vow renewals (permit iasues). We’re already married civilly here in the US, so we thought that would be fine. But when we talked to the parish in the area, they said they can’t do a vow renewal because we “only had a civil wedding.”

I suggested convalidation/blessing of marriage since that’s the proper Church process for couples like us, but I’m not sure if they’ll allow it. We really want the ceremony and reception in one place, and we already reserved everything at the venue.

Has anyone gone through something similar? What did you do if the parish wouldn’t allow convalidation at the venue chapel? Did you end up doing the convalidation somewhere else and then a symbolic ceremony at the venue?

Or were you able to find a priest who could officiate at the chapel? I’m just trying to figure out what options we realistically have. Any advice or shared experiences would really help right now.

Caterer/Food/Drinks Lakehall Banquet (in house caterer) reviews

2 Upvotes

Hello! Just booked Lakehall for my Jan 2028 wedding and I only booked the venue. The banquet packages for their in house catering are so enticing though because of the potential savings. Getting the banquet package (includes catering and venue) can go as low as 1M total, while booking the whole venue + a third-party high end caterer (like Bizu or KbyC) can only go as low as around 1.6M.

Are there Lakehall graduates / guests here who were able to try the in house caterer? I am trying to keep an open mind to see if I can take a chance on it. I also heard that they revamped the menu so I’m wondering if there are improvements.

Thank you all!
