Our Partners

Officiating Priests: Fr. Ces Magsino & Fr. Gerry Garcia

Father Ces is a second cousin of Glenn's mom. A Philippine Science High School alumnus himself, Father Ces served as Glenn's spiritual advisor during his high school days in Pisay. Janice first met her in one of the family reunions in Batangas.

Father Gerry is a close family friend of the Castillo family. Having been a scholar of Glenn's lola when he was studying in the seminary, Fr. Gerry soon became the family's regular takbuhan for their religious and spiritual needs. Fr. Gerry officiated the wedding of Glenn's sister Ate Shirley to her husband Kuya Jojo, and baptized each of Glenn's pamangkins.

Church: Chapel on the Hill, Batulao, Batangas

It only took one visit for us to this Chapel to decide that this is the right place for us to exchange our vows. A small, intimate church resting on top of a hill in Mount Batulao in Nasugbu, the Chapel on the Hill, we instantly fell in love with the place because of the solemnity, serene environment, the cool breeze, the lovely view of Taal Lake, and the Labyrinth floor that the Chapel is known for.

Reception: Parasol Garden, Josephine Restaurant, Tagaytay City

This restaurant has always been a favorite place for both of us. Some of our favorite moments together were spent on the benches overlooking the lake. We never would have thought that this very same place will soon be witness to the celebration of one of the happiest days of our lives.

Photography: Nelwin Uy

Nelwin is one of our first W@W discoveries. We've heard of a lot of good things about Nelwin and we're very happy that he's now part of our team. A very down-to-earth guy, we knew the first time we met him that we'll have fun working with him and his wife Tei.

Videography: Reel Deal by Chug Cadiogan

Chug has tons of talent, a wacky sense of humor, and high standards of professionalism. Having made the on-site video for Earl and Jackie's wedding, we were amazed at how finely crafted his work was, and how he was able to vividly capture the best moments of the wedding, in such a short time. We think he's a great discovery and it will only be a matter of time before his talent gets unraveled.

Wedding and Entourage Gown: Angelo's Barongs

Angelo's Barongs provided the wedding and entourage gowns for Janice's sister, Jackie, and Earl's wedding in 2006. Seeing their work, and how affordable their packages were, we decided to book them as well.

OTD Coordinator: Notions and Motions Events Management

We met Hazel Evangelista at a Bridal Fair in PICC. On that day, we were not even looking for a wedding coordinator, and we just happened to drop by her booth. Janice's token questions to her turned into an animated discussion, and 30 minutes later, we walked out with a reservation for her services.

Hair and Makeup Artist: EJ Belen-Litiatco

EJ is one of our favorite finds during our supplier hunt. From our shortlist of HMUAs, she was the only one who responded to our query within the day. EJ is a shy but very friendly person, and Janice immediately felt comfortable working with her during her trial makeup. Taday, her hair artist, has a special way of making clients feel relaxed: laughter! EJ's services come with a very special bonus: moral support and advice from her lovely mom!


Church and Reception Music: Serene8 All-in-One Ensemble

One of our finds from Weddings at Work, Serene8 is a versatile option for those who want to be practical without sacrificing quality.



Invitations: Printsonalities
http://www.printsonalities.com/

It took a second look before we finally decided to have our invitations made by Printsonalities. What started as a choice for practicality (they had an office in Edsa Shangrila Hotel) turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Although their samples from previous clients are a far cry from what we had in mind, in terms of design and style, we were nevertheless convinced that they could deliver the goods.


Flowers: RCJC Flower Shop

Another discovery from Weddings at Work, their shop is located right at the center of Mendez Crossing in Tagaytay. The proprietor, Ms.Cora Perey, is simply so energetic that we were confident that our flowers are handled by professionals who knew what their craft.

Bridal Car: Charlie Alvarez

Have you seen those vintage Jaguars that are so magnificently brandished in a lot of wedding photos? This guy owns them. And drives them in those weddings! A former president of the Philippine Vintage Car Club, he is a true hobbyist. We visited his home in Mandaluyong City, and we were surprised at how he and her wife were so pleasant and so easy to talk to.


Custom Jewelry: Rose Celine Javalera
http://linlingo.multiply.com/

We will probably never remember how we chanced upon her website, but we were truly impressed with her work. Lin is an entrepreneur who has her hands on a lot of ventures, and jewelry making is probably more of a hobby than a business to her.


Unity Candles: Junlyn Miranda
http://unitycandles.multiply.com/

We first met Junlyn in a bridal fair in Rockwell. Her work caught her attention but it was only after we realized that we couldn't possibly do our Unity Candles ourselves that we decided to contact her with the help of Weddings at Work. Each of her Unity Candles are unique, and she designs and creates them according your theme.

Wedding Resource: Weddings at Work

Glenn joined the W@W mailing list and did 90% of his supplier search from there. What a bright idea it is turning out to be!
