Wedding at Apo View Hotel, Davao City

It was a fine sunny afternoon around four o'clock last April 10, 2013 Wednesday in Davao City wherein we took our vow for the second time around in front of our family, friends and God above. But this time, it is already in the church at Sta. Ana Shrine Parish.

Since we already married in a civil wedding, we submitted our NSO Marriage Certificate. The rest of the requirements are still needed in church like Baptismal Certificate, Confirmation Certificate, Parish permit, Pre-Cana Seminar, etc.

We had only two months in preparing our church wedding. It was hard in our part since we both residing in Manila. But we're glad that we do it very well. We personally made our invitation and souvenirs. We also have photobooth from Facebooth Davao so that our guest will not be bored during cocktail.

In our reception, we choose Apo View Hotel since it was our dream hotel when we were still boyfriend-girlfriend. Dinner reception was at the Top of the Apo of Apo View Hotel so that our guests can view the whole area of Davao City. We got the Elegance Package which cost P665 per head, menu details are as follows 1 Soup, 3 Salad/Appetizers, 3 Main Courses, 1 Vegetable Dish, Steamed Rice, 3 Assorted Pastries and a Softdrink/Juice.

Our wedding florist and coordinator was Petals and Accent. They have a wedding packages depending on your preference. The head florist is Roel and the head coordinator is Erish. On the day of our wedding, their were 5 coordinators who will be assisting us from preparation up to the end of our reception program. One (1) coordinator is in-charge for the groom, he is Jay - he is also our wedding choreographer. The other three (3) are in-charge for the bride, I forgot their name sorry. And the last one (1) is Erish - he's the team lead, he was the one monitoring the whole event.

Our wedding cake was hand crafted by Ms. Gloria Alcantara, it is a 5 layer fondant cake. It's a chocolate moist flavor cake, and swear it was soo yummy.

Our official wedding photographer was Archie Pelago of Picturista. We got his wedding package cost P35k plus P3,500 for the Photo Teaser and P5k for the LCD and Widescreen. They're costly but swear their output is the best.

Our reception host was Mr. Brandy Fuentes - he was Dr. Love in Davao City. He's a very good host, he knows how to make the crowd alive, jolly and no dull moment. Together with him is his spinner.
