Why are we obligated to pay for electricity, venue corkage, pictorial fees, and crew meals & transportation during the wedding in the Philippines?   When planning a wedding in the Philippines, several considerations come into play, particularly concerning the venue, chosen package, and engaging suppliers for the event. These costs may not always be included in the all-inclusive package offered by the wedding planner.   In comparison, certain countries offer comprehensive packages, often at a higher cost. In the Philippines' context, we are well aware of the challenges tied to currency conversion. The exchange rate between the peso and other currencies, like the dollar, can significantly vary. Due to the peso's relatively lower value, specific package elements aren't fixed, such as corkage fees. These fees fluctuate based on their variable nature, calculated according to actual consumption during the event. For example, electricity power charges at the venue might exceed...

Things You Learn When Planning A Wedding




First, let me say that wedding planning can be incredibly fun. I love event planning, so I might be biased, but it’s so special to plan the biggest party of your life (which happens to be celebrating true love!). Also, it’s one of the rare events where you get to call the shots and get exactly what you want.
Well, do you?
Your special day is supposed to be about you and your husband-to-be, but along the way so many opinions get thrown in the mix.

I made one of the more controversial decisions, and planned a destination wedding. This opened up a whole additional set of questions, interrogations and comments. When people hear the words destination I swear they have one of two reactions.

Option 1: “That’s amazing! So much fun- we wish we did that when we got married!”

Option 2: “Wow that must have been expensive… How many people came?” (implying no one would want to make that trip)
So, having navigated the waters of all these opinions, I now want to share a few important things I learned. I am so grateful I made the decision to plan a destination wedding because not only did it give me a magical two weeks, but it also opened my eyes to what impacts us .Looking at the list, not only are these important lessons for planning a wedding, but also life in general.
1. Don’t be afraid to dream big.

2. Get comfortable asking for what you want.

3. Stop worrying so much about what other people think of your decisions.

4. Your insides are just as important as the outside.

5. Give yourself plenty of time to work out the details.




Some people pull together a wedding in just a few months, and from my experience it’s definitely possible. However, most people need a more drawn out process to make sure they enjoy each step. I found myself extremely grateful that I took a full year to plan any event  of  my  clients.
There were some times where I was extremely excited to plan and make decisions, and then some days where the idea was extremely overwhelming. When planning a wedding, and in life, it’s so important to enjoy the journey. So whatever your timeline is, give yourself permission to enjoy each step, and do whatever it takes to ensure it remains fun.
Nothing feels better than creating the vision in your dreams. As I look back on these lessons, they’re true for so much more than just planning a wedding. If you approach all your big dreams and decisions using the same guidelines, you’ll find yourself creating a pretty incredible life.
