Good day sir/maam,

I am not a coordinator, but i can give my few words of advise for you and upcoming newlywed-couples who are trying to make their wedding day pleasantly memorable. I have been in the industry for quite some time now. I have seen the bride-zilas, the Groom-Monsters, the Parents/relative meddler, the guests / sponsors anxieties, and even the on-the-day-stress providers (if you notice i did not mention coordinators).

ALL THAT boils down to a formula for disaster:
Less (or no) experience from a supplier + less time of preparation + no research.

so, here are a few tips i can share:

1) just because it's cheap, it's worth it...Also, just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it's worth. Do you research. Ask around. ask for feedback. If it's a venue, ask some guests who have attended. how was the food? YOu may even call said venue and ask them if they have a function and you want to do an ocular ON AN ACTUAL EVENT. that can save you a lot of time and help you visualize what you want during your reception. If it's a supplier, attend (on the side) an event that person is servicing. Ask even for the dates of the event that supplier is servicing. THis is a strong indicator that said person is reliable.

2) If you are not well versed in the preparation during the day, i STRONGLY SUGGEST you hire an On-the-Day coordinator. THat will really save you sweat, head ache, heart ache, and pocket-ache.
I was servicing a wedding last night and the couple told the coordinator... "maam..unsa pa man amo buhaton? feeling namo igo ra mi ni attend sa amo kasal..." Now, wouldn't that be a wonderful feeling?
Because the Client did their research: the suppliers /vendors who provided their services KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO without having been told what to do. But most of all, They are trusted suppliers in the industry.

3) Know what you want, and work for it. TRY not to settle for anything less. mas ma happy bya mo sa imoha partner if you got what you wished for during that day. But remember, Creativity and Research play an important role.

4) Just because everyone says you have to do it, doesn't mean you have to.

5) Look into the possibility of asking a contract from your suppliers. Have them written everything they promised to do during the wedding day.

6) Get a VERY GOOD MC. all the reception preparation might go down the drain if your reception MC cannot bring a program to it's proper stature. You've seen other events when the MC spoke, it could bring the party to a whole new level,,or bring it down to a very low level.

7) When interviewing your vendor or supplier, Try to observe apart from the obvious: their attitude.
remember, what they offer is just the tip of the iceberg. The real story is always unseen and the foundation of their personality.

Lastly, expect the unexpected. Sometimes, everything does not go according to plan and wish. There are many factors that contribute to this: Weather, traffic, human error, mis-information, force-majeur/Act of God, and even health. if you accept these, then you wont have to worry much since we always are imperfect.

this is very good input. Thumbs up Ryan!

I'd like to ask you for further comments on statement number 3: know what you want and work for it. There are wedding coordinators who promise that they can fit everything within your budget including being able to get the exact suppliers you want with exactly the same packages. Is this true? Say for example i am eyeing a certain florist and his certain package. Some wedding suppliers claim they can get the exact same florist and same package at half d price if i get them as coordinator because they have tie ups etc...i m hesitant in taking dem at their word...because think about it, if a supplier was to offer something at lower price than his original, wudnt something be compromised in return like less/substitute flowers to fit the budget even tho coordinator claimed exactly d same? In dat case, m afraid dat i myt just be setting myself up for major disappointment.

what would you advise that will let you get your money's worth? To go with their wedding package of "exact suppliers w/ exact package and output" and save money or just go to the supplier directly (costly but sure?)

there are a few tips i can recommend to you. Due to several experiences like these, when a certain supplier promised to deliver said product-output-service and came out short-handed. These IMPORTANT suggestions i will make can be effective in choosing your event vendor/ supplier.

1) Look at their brochure. No, im not just talking about photos from FB, or slideshows from her/his/their laptop. I am talking about catalogs. Bound photos. Old photos will give you a reliable feeling of EXPERIENCE. there have been many instances of these relatively new and noob suppliers grabbing photos from Old and experienced ones, and you wonder why you haven't heard about them?

2) TRUST YOUR INTUITION or GUT FEELING. that's right. God has deposited the Holy Spirit in you. If you feel a bit iffy or wary / doubtful ,NEVER DECIDE immediately. More to that, do not get their services..yet. This is where you ask around.
this may seem unorthodox, but you can ask people who are truthful at what they see and what these people think about them. Here is what you can do:
a) Ask said supplier on where they have serviced: venues, places, and locales (like hotels, pavilions, churches, restaurants) and ask the in-charge of these said establishments about these suppliers. Ask even the waiters. Man, they can really give you an honest answer about their experience with them. Remember, Jesus said "do good unto others". If these suppliers maltreat these humble servants, you know they have an attitude problem. IF they're late or fall short, then that's a red flag right there.
b) ask if they've heard of certain "veteran suppliers". If they do not recognize certain names you may drop (even if you won't be availing of their service,) then they haven't had REAL experience since ...real soldiers in the field know the terrain while office soldiers just know the area. hope you get what i mean
c) ASk them how they think about a certain supplier , or a supplier that they are in direct competition. IF they start to bash and talk ill about them, then be on guard. A professional vendor will never talk ill about the competition.

d) If a certain coordinator will push for a certain name of "their own supplier" then start to do your research. Do not act on impulse just because this coordinator might say "dali-a na ug book maam/sir kay busy kaayo na sya. " DON'T.
Ask for the number of said supplier that the coordinator is referring to. If coordinator will not give the number, then KNOW that naay dakog chance mo patung na sya sa price. I'm telling you from experience, it's like that. mostly though. a CLEAN coordinator will make you feel at ease.
Get all the numbers of the reffered suppliers and google them. check them. ask the others what you think about them. It is strongly advised that you MEET WITH YOUR SUPPLIERS BEFORE the event and ayaw padala sa exagerrated nga storya. watch their actions and follow your instincts.


All in all, if you want to get a supplier about your money's worth, it's all about calculated investigation.

let us say you know what you want but your budget doesn't or won't allow it. True. It is an economic theory that has been tested. You are right about assuming that if you get said supplier and offers it half the price, there is always a compromise. TRust me. naa juy hanky panky sa uban nga mo saad ing ani, ing ana.

one of many can happen:
1) half the price sya coz ning saad ning coordinator sa iya florist (as you said) nga "maintain lang sa imoha price...pero ikaw permi ako kuhaon sa ako tanan events." what happens is, you get a commercialized service.
2) because of you settling for half the price, coordinator-supplier (florist ) interaction might lead to compromise in service.

ang wedding cost mag depende jud sa gusto ninyo na outcome. if gusto kag DIY or dili xa package, taas na panahon for preparation jud ang kinahanglan para maka research sa mga suppliers. Pero kung ikaw ang type na dili particular sa mga details, naa sad daghan na barato na package. every supplier naay package na maoffer. so the key is to really research. If you're the type na walay idea unsay mga dapat naa sa wedding, then it's best na muhire bisan ug OTD Coordinator. I did and hapsay jud ang kasal namo last month.
