The couple who has “Finally” tied-the-knot after being engaged for a long time. A love story that some people can only see in movies but is so surreal.

This is how Raul met the “Love of his Life”, Ariane. Tested through time, but was bound by God for eternity.

Raul is one of the “funny” and “comedic” grooms we had in Ideas Etc.  Meanwhile, Ariane is definitely one of the prettiest faces everyone would root for. Perfectly matched together made each and every day of our wedding preparation full of laughter. There was no single moment of dullness. Every bit of the wedding details seems to elude the happiness these couple feel for each other. And every ideas placed In the wedding were well-thought off. We even had the most unique pre-nup storyline one can ever imagine. Credits to the Photo and Video Team of Framed-Up Production (Lead by Bong Fernandez) who collaborated with the groom to make that wonderful idea come to life.

We are so grateful to have witnessed the most special part of their lives. And It was our utmost pleasure not only to be on your wedding as your coordinator, but to be your friend as well. Ideas Etc will be forever thankful for the trust, support and love. May your Marriage be blessed with so much bliss a thousand folds. It was truly a love story that unfolds a lifetime.

“Magical”, best describes Chris and Em’s Wedding. Given that we only had almost 4 months of wedding preparation, It also amazes me (until now actually) that we were able to pull this wedding off!

Chris was a hands-on Groom while Em was the very supportive Bride. They were very fun to work with as there was never a dull moment during “foodtrips” in foodtasting and even when scouting for suppliers during Expos. They are very down to earth and always ready to do everything for the sake of the success of their Wedding. I even fondly call Em as “Christine” as She definitely looks like the Celebrity Christine Reyes. They always make time to make sure that everything was put in place. Added the fact that communication was never a challenge since the Groom himself, Chris, was an officemate of mine.

Many have even mentioned, including my team, that it was one of the best weddings we had ever done. The Butterfly releasing , made us feel like we were all in a fairytale. We were truly honored to have given the chance to be part of this magical event where everything was in its perfect place.

Kat and Jon's lovestory was one of the weddings that is closest to my heart. Aside from the fact that they are not just merely wedding clients, most importantly they are family. Jon is fortunately my cousin-in-law. 

When I met Kat and Jon, It reminds me of how extremely beautiful it is to fall in love. It can actually make you feel young and mature at the same time. You can actually see in their eyes how much love they had for each other. During the first meeting, everything was already put in place as the Bride and the Groom themselves perfectly knew how they wanted their wedding to be. "Kid" as they call each other, is so much fun to be with. There was never a dull moment. All amazing Ideas were laid down and I truly admire how hands-on this couple was with their wedding preparations. 

Truly an honor to work with couple who have such big hearts. The most challenging wedding I may say, as I was almost on my way to delivering my  first born, but they had always believe in me and my team. They never doubted Ideas Etc. And for that, I will always be grateful for.

A love that was fought till the end... A love that used to be "You and Me Against the World" and A love that was tested by time... These are the words that best describe how incredible the love of this couple was for each other. 

Ideas Etc met Sheila and Sherwin only a couple of times. They are both based overseas which made every preparation detail a challenge. Luckily we lived in the 20th century where technology is the answered prayer for worlds that are apart. With the help of social media such as facebook, emails etc., where we and the couple usually have our conversations, we were able to pull this wedding off successfully! You can see how magical their wedding was through their wedding photos courtesy of DB Phos. 

Working with Sheila and Sherwin, is one of our bests. Aside from the fact that we were given the chance to work with the humblest person we had ever known, We were not just treated as supplier by this couple. Rather, more than just being their wedding coordinator, they treat us as one of their friends. Truly a couple worth to be blessed a hundred folds.
