Still, the number question every bride and groom is asking is "How much will it cost to have an elegant wedding in the Philippines?"
That's very easy to answer on my part but I have to know first what is your definition of elegant and how much are you willing to spend for an elegant wedding?
I must have written a couple of posts about wedding budget or wedding costs in the Philippines. Somehow, some brides and grooms may want a specific breakdown. I also have written a post of specific breakdown of the costing. And in doing so, I still get A LOT of inquiries about customizing their own wedding cost estimates.
In that point, the work of the wedding planner comes in.
The Wedding Planner knows who among the wedding suppliers are best suited for your ideal wedding and working budget. She/He knows the best and worst in the industry and the advantages and disadvantages of working with that particular wedding supplier.
The job of the wedding planner is to pull off every wedding supplier to make sure that your wedding day will go smoothly as possible.
As a full time wedding planner, I have worked with different wedding suppliers and I have a handful of unpleasant working experience with some of the suppliers. My job is to protect my client from being the next victim of these unprofessional and unethical over pricing people in the wedding industry.
I have recently transferred work base in General Santos City. I have had weddings since 2012 in this place while I held work base in Davao City. I have met some of the Gensan's best and finest wedding suppliers. People are not yet so welcoming of the idea of hiring a wedding planner since the locals prefer to do-it-yourself their wedding details and essentials. The wedding trends in General Santos have slowly adapting to the modernization of event planning. More and more brides are considering the option of hiring a wedding planner especially those who are working from overseas.
Your wedding will be once in a lifetime moment. You will only walk down the aisle once. You may never pass this way again. If budget is your concern, you will place significant budget to the things that matter to you most. If it does not matter so much to you, you will not make any effort to be able to acquire or afford it.
To hire a wedding planner will mean you will have someone to fallback to in case you are already losing your temper over very trivial things. You will have a bestfriend all throughout the planning process and possibly a best friend for life. After all, forever starts with planning the wedding.
Happily Ever After!
