Wedding Venue: Blue Gardens

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm coordinating a wedding for my friends, Armie and Jayson.  We've actually had a couple of meetings and as far as timeline is considered, I think we're doing fine.  We have also made an ocular inspection of their christian wedding venue, Blue Gardens Wedding and Events Venue.

Blue Gardens is an ideal wedding venue in the QC area, which also offers affordable and hassle-free packages.  They have tie-ups with caterers, photographers/videogaphers, lights and sound systems, photobooths, etc.  Rates are quite good but I am yet to comment if it IS worth the price based on how we will be working together in the coming months.

A few photos I took:

Indoor venue at the second floor.  The account executive said this could fit up to about 200pax but we think it would be a little cramped with that number.

Sample decorations of the garden area.  For their wedding, Armie and Jayson are going to use this for both ceremony and reception.
For the bridal entrance
What's good about Blue Gardens is that they accommodate only one event per timeslot, one in the morning, and one in the evening.  That goes regardless if you're going to rent the entire venue (indoor and outdoor, for an extra charge) or not.  This will eliminate the common problem of hearing the program from another event while your own program is on-going. 

So far, we liked what we saw and we're looking forward to having pre-production meetings with the other suppliers here.  Stay tuned for more comprehensive reviews that I shall be posting here as we go along! ;)

Entourage Baby


Just a quick post to inspire me to work today...

A few months ago, my little dude played ring bearer to one of hubby's high school friends.  We were sure he'd walk down the aisle just fine and he did not disappoint!  No forcing, wailing whatsoever needed.  His dad just asked him to walk towards mommy (I was at the far end taking photos) and he just did.


I was so proud I wanted to cry! 

This wasn't the first time he was part of an entourage though as he was the ring bearer during my brother's wedding in 2010.  However, I'm sure you can compare above photo with this:

 

He was just 10 months here and obviously cannot walk yet.  The initial plan was for us to put him on his stroller and for his dad to just push the him through.  However, I ended up being the "bearer of the ring bearer" since I carried him through the entourage march. Lol!

Marcus has another stint lined up next year for our friends' wedding (which I am also coordinating) and I can't wait to play stage momma again.  Hopefully next time though his barong would sit perfectly on his shoulders.
