Disclaimer: Everything I’ve written here is based on my
personal experience, how I felt about them, the impression they've left on me, and
the actual transaction that transpired between us back in 2015.
Worst nightmare! That’s how I felt about my experience with
Awesome Events by Mark Cuevas.
When my husband and I started saving for our wedding he also
started scouting for an event organizer/coordinator. He knew we will need one
since our schedule at work is far from normal. We also don’t want to use our
leave credits just for meeting suppliers. That’s what our restdays are for. He
actually found two potential coordinators but we picked Awesome Events by Mark
Cuevas because of the good feedback we read about them and their packages are
already complete from photographer, videographer, makeup artist, prenup,
invitation, bride and entourage flower arrangement, caterer, lively emcee to
wedding cake, dove, bridal car, basically everything that you will need for a
wedding. We were so rapt with all the good feedbacks they have on their website
and on Facebook that when my friend announced that she will get married I
didn’t hesitate to refer Awesome Events to her (well, I also informed her about
the other supplier but she chose Awesome Events) even if I haven’t experienced
working with them yet. Good thing they were able to deliver service on my
friend’s wedding, otherwise, I would’ve felt guilty if their hard earned money
(just like ours) went to waste.
After a month since our wedding, we finally got the first
glimpse on some of our wedding photos. These were all chosen by our photographer
which he posted on Eye in D Sky Facebook page. So far, I’m liking our photos
and I can’t wait to see the rest. Looks like we’ll have a hard time choosing
which one to add to our photo album.
FINALLY! We had our first conversation about settling down.
I was starting to think that he may not have plans of marrying me because we
never talk about our “future” together unlike other couples. It was the first
Saturday of 2014 and we were to have
breakfast at iHOP in MOA. While waiting for our food, I showed him the website
of Caleruega in Tagaytay. I wanted to go to that place on a weekend because
I’ve read that it is a good place for photo op and to attend a mass (of course!
J ). When he saw the picture of the
church he said it’s a good place for a wedding since the place is not too small
and not too big especially if you don’t plan to invite the whole clan, hehehe.
Imagine the smile in my heart when I heard the word “wedding” (kasal). So, to
keep my cool and to pretend that I was not excited I just told him that I was
also thinking the same thing because I had an officemate before who got married
in that place. After a few conversations
about marriage, we started to save money and searched for economical suppliers.
We started planning for our wedding January of 2015. That’s
right after he proposed to me (here’s the
link for the story of his proposal). The first thing we did was to make a church reservation. We didn’t get
married in Caleruega because we found a better location plus the fee is
cheaper. Our wedding was held in San Antonio de Padua Church in Pooc II,
Silang, Cavite. It’s the same church where Karylle and Yael Yuzon tied the knot. We would
always pass by this church whenever we go
to Tartaria where his brother lives. We had our venue in euf Rocina’s just
right beside the church which make it very
convenient for us and for our guests. The place has spacious parking lot, it
has lodging area which can accommodate 15 pax, the pavilion can hold up to 100
guests, and the price is reasonable.
