Reception Details - Reviews Part 1

Lenscape Photobooth
    Cost: 8,000 (3 hours, photostrip with magnet)
    Free: 1 hour and Guest book (with copies of the photos taken and guest messages)
    Rating: 5 stars
 

I have this very specific idea what our photobooth pictures should look like - the photostrip kind with simple background, no picture of us, with a magnet at the back. We went around wedding fairs to look for the best package that we can get. But at the end of it all, we went for the supplier where I felt most at ease with while talking to, and that's Marion of Lenscape. It was so easy talking to her and I felt that we were in good hands, so we finally decided to get them.

We did not have any problems during the planning, nor during the actual event. Love them and their friendly staff. Although, not many people had their photos taken (Maybe they were so distracted by the Starbucks booth, hehe) It was still worth it. Highly recommended. :)

P.S. 4 years after our wedding, our photos still looks like new! did not fade at all. :)

After the event ended, they did not close the photobooth and waited for us,
so we can have our photos taken. Thank you for that!! :)

Starbucks Booth (From Market-Market Branch)
    Rating: 5 stars
    Cost: 14,000 (100 frapps)

We've always wanted to get a Starbucks booth since we learned that they offer such services. We inquired with their Market-Market branch and got a confirmation a week after that they are available for the event. We paid half of the cost a month before, then paid the rest 2 weeks before the event. This was really one of the better decisions we made during our wedding preps. Plus, the baristas are sooo friendly, we just love them! :)

Everyone loved the booth! It was really a success! The only thing that we will do differently (if we can go back) is that we'll pay for the extra frappes beforehand. We failed to do this, and instead just asked the manager that they bring more 30 extra frappes, and then we'll just pay for the actual excess after the event. Around 30 minutes before the reception program ended, the 100 frappes were gone and they were asking if they should go back to their store to get more stuff. We decided not to get for more since the program was ending. Although we heard that some guests had more than 1 drink. hehe. :)

P.S. Starbucks offers different packages which includes hot and/or cold drinks. It is up to you what type of package you will avail. For our wedding, we got the purely frappe package (100 pieces), since our buffet includes brewed coffee (which by the way also got rave reviews from our coffee lover guests). Also, Enderun charged us corkage fee of I think 5,000Php, since they also have their own coffee booth that serves frappes that you can also rent, of course with additional charge.

of course we had to have a Starbucks toast :)

Amaranthus Florist (Reception styling / Drapes)
   Rating: 5 stars
   Cost: 15,500 (Pretty drapes and flowers)

Since we were having a morning wedding, we wanted our reception have a very light, casual mood. Our venue had a glass ceiling so we looked for a drape supplier so our guests won't get cooked under the sun. hehe. We asked around and we decided to get Amaranthus. They gave us the lowest price (Almost half the price the other suppliers gave us!), and we felt that they can actually pull it off. It was an easy breezy meeting with them, the only thing that was worrying me is that they needed to setup the drapes 7 hours before, so they needed to go to the reception area around 2AM. When we arrived, we were so happy how the drapes and the simple flowers turned out. It showcased the high ceiling of the Atrium, plus the freshness and lightness of a morning wedding - exactly what we wanted. :)

Our package included the drapes and flowers and other table decorations (glass balls). The table numbers and table runners are both DIYs. :)
