Hi Jody, This is a long time coming, and it is one of the emails that have been buried but was just not sent.

Here goes, I hope it is not too late.

We have always wanted to have not just a beautiful wedding but a stress-free wedding. Often, these two requirements are contradictory. But it is possible to have both with Jody and her team. As an overseas couple, they provided us the right attention to translate our wedding plans into a reality. Jody was our best friend in the months leading up to our wedding. Through promptly answering our emails and calls, she made us very confident by updating us on what's happening and what needs to be done. By being proactive on the detailed preparation, we think she often went beyond the call of duty to provide an excellent service. We needed someone who was organized, trust worthy, dedicated and was more than a wedding organizer, but a friend.

We're thankful we got Jody and her team. Thanks again Jody. We wish you and your team more success. We hope that other couples, especially those overseas, would consider your service and friendship in making their dream weddings come true.

Hope you're well.

Ingat parati, mail me if there is anything else I can do.

Yu-Dela Cruz Wedding (June 1, 2007)

Yes, it was my birthday...my first-time to accept a wedding during my birthday. It was a well-spent birthday with a very nice couple (thanks for the gift, Shannie and Jeff!) with good friends in the industry, as suppliers as well of this wedding.

Shannie and Jeff called their wedding suppliers as "Team Unity"

Both based abroad, Jeff and Shannie are also both doctors. They went home few weeks before the wedding to run around all the specific details of their wedding, which was previously planned with me by Shannie's mom, (a very-hands on mother of the bride, that is!)

Ceremony was held at Santuario de San Jose and cocktails and reception followed at William J. Shaw Pavillion in Wack-Wack Country Club. It was a well-attended wedding with 350 guests who celebrated with them on a friday evening. The venue was beautifully decorated according to Shannie and Jeff's specifications by Flowers Unlimited. Paolo Clemente hosted the reception event and rendered few songs for the couple.

Shannie and Jeff opened the program with a very gracefully choreographed first dance to the song of "Panalangin" by Apo Hiking Society. Roars of cheers were rushing to the entire venue as their guests was all suprised to see them perform such a very beautiful number.

Shannie sent this testimonial recently...

hey jody!how are you na?...i was looking through my address book here in yahoo and saw your email add...just thought i should make you a testimonial (dunno lang where i should send it, hehe!) so everyone will know what great skills you have! ...

jody, thank you again for doing a great great job on our wedding...i swear i would've gone crazy (and i mean it!) if it weren't for all your help...i was telling jeff that you really must love your job to put up with all the wedding madness...when i didnt know what to do, i'd ask you and you'd have the answer, from the minutest detail to the most major suppliers...truly an "events expert", haha!...what amazed me the most was that on the day itself, you were so busy and tired from all the running around, and yet you managed to stop and ask how we were with a big smile on your face...it just made me feel less nervous and more confident that everything will be right on track...true enough, we were so oblivious to what was going around and still, a lot of friends and family commented that it was a beautiful wedding and very organized...i'd have to say that it was what it was mostly because of you and your team...(ok, im getting a bit sentimental now)...i wish that you would never get tired of what youre doing...continue to help clueless brides like me and makulit grooms like jeff...oh, and dont wipe that smile off your face because for that alone, choosing you over the rest was well worth it:)...

dont hesitate to email us for any medical questions ok! hehe! jeff is starting residency na here in vegas and im taking my sweet time reviewing for my last exam...haha!...see you in jan for kuya and sunshine's wedding!

take care and God bless!

Hi Jody,

Words cannot express how much I value the service of your team from day one of our wedding preparation till the last minute of the reception. It was such a big help. The day was so worry free. Everything was taken cared of. It was such a beautiful wedding. Everyone enjoyed the day including the suppliers. We will remember it for the rest of our lives. It was so meaningful and so special. I always say I owe it to my suppliers too because everyone did their best. More power to Events Experts. Thank you so much for helping us to make our wedding day the day we envisioned it to be.


P.S.
You have a cute picture at our picture gallery by Fotogra.

The wedding was SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL as what Joanne described her wedding in her blog. and i definitely attest to that. She was a stunning bride that day, so beautiful that her glow radiates from her within to everthing about the wedding.

Joanne booked with me a year and a half before her wedding. We clicked right away from our initial meeting that made her decide also quickly to get us for Full Management Coordination of her wedding. I must say that she was a very hands-on bride that even we were miles away, her presence to decision-making about her wedding preparation was closely felt because of our continuous email correspondences. I have counted when I cleaned my inbox recently that she had 218 email messages to me sitting there. And I practically responded to each and every email she sent me.

It had put a smile on my face...I suddenly miss her. You see, I get to be attached to my brides sometimes. They have become my friends already. In fact, a number had been very close to my heart and we still communicate up to this time. Can you imagine, I was even a "ninang sa binyag" for my two former couples' babies?

I just love this job...makes me meet good friends indeed...and Joanne is one of them...

6 months after...a testimonial!

I have just to blog about this...

I became close to this couple. They became my friends already. Their wedding was extraordinary...brought Boracay in Rockwell Loft. We prepared the whole thing in less than 6 months. I was already 4months pregnant for our 2nd child when I met them. In between that 6 months, I was even gone for a month for a trip to US. I gave birth a month and a half before their wedding day. There were a lot of pulling strings back and forth but at the end of it all, it was a very beautiful wedding. It was a challenge to fit 350 guests (in their beach outfits) in the venue but we managed. Balay Kandila did a very great job!

As of this writing, Steph texted me that she's already 5 weeks pregnant. Take extra care girl!

Miss you guys! Hope we can get together again...

Hi, Jody!How are you?? :)I'm really really sorry for the delay...

From Pierre and Me...

It has taken half a year for me to write this testimonial... And together with this, we still owe our photographer the list of pictures that we will be using for our album AND the list of songs for our wedding video! :p

Nevertheless, I feel that I have done something greatly amiss. They have helped us so much with our wedding that I feel as if I've let them down with the delay of our testimonial to them...

It's not every day that a girl gets married. And to be honest, I never thought that the day would come when I'd be facing my own Prince Charming (whom I had turned magically from a frog, of course!). Yet, I've always dreamed of having kids, marching down the aisle in my beautiful white gown, with all eyes looking at me.

I've had visions on how my wedding day was supposed to be, what I would wear, what the flower girls would wear, what theme I'd use, etc...

But of course, nothing ever measured up to the real thing...

For one, I didn't realize how difficult it would be to organize everything. My husband and I are both worry warts... We had no idea how to unify everything that we planned to do, but all these details would crop up in our head one by one.. You know, looking back, it's a wonder that Jody didn't strangle us before our wedding day, given the number of texts and phone calls she got from us! :)

Our wedding coordinator, Jody of Events Experts, was very meticulous and organized. She was very patient with our questions, and she had infinite patience with us. Although we had less time to prepare than the average wedding (only 6 months) and there were a lot of things that had to be crammed and prepared perfectly before the Big Day. She never faltered. She didn't even break stride when we decided to move our wedding day a few weeks early, even if she was tasked to perform the difficult job of looking for both a new church and a reception venue!

Needless to say, our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more... Jody hooked us up with a lot of terrific suppliers... Not only are they some of the best in their craft but they were able to transform our visions of what we wanted everything to look like into reality.

WE don't know how to thank Jody and her team enough for making our wedding day happen... Because of their efficiency, we were able to enjoy our wedding day with no worries. Our guests also appreciated the organized service, and we heard high praises from our family and friends.

I am sure that they have all heard everything that I've had to say, and that they have heard it a hundred times... But it doesn't lessen the fact that it takes some special guardian angels to make such a special day come true.. To us, Jody and her team have been those angels... :) Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable...

These both doctors actually prepared for their wedding from overseas. I met them while they were doing occular in Coconut Palace last year, very timely as I was hosting (emcee) a wedding there at the same time. What a small world as my mother-in-law is a good friend of Jon's mom. They are ballroom buddies in Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

It was a beautiful day last January 18, 2007. We were a bit concerned in the early afternoon as the clouds are starting to cover the whole of Coconut Palace. When our team arrived in the venue, it started to drizzle! And oh, the caterer's (Josiah's Catering) waiters have to pull out all their linens from the set-up.

At 330pm, the clouds started to clear, up until the end of the reception. The couple were able to have their picture taken capturing the sunset.


We started the wedding a bit later than expected of 430pm because of the sun that is pretty pain on the skin. I would never forget the wedding vows they professed to each other. That made all the guests in ceremony teary-eyed (even me!). It is never written, nor just memorized...you will know, it both came from their hearts. Time and distance can really not separate these two beautiful people.

After a week of their wedding, we got this message from the bride...

As the start of the year...

What a good way to start the year with a receipt of a testimonial from a previous client. The wedding happened over a year now but we are so glad to receive an appreciation up until this time. It is indeed a boost of our confidence, to make every wedding special. Thank you so much Ian and Von Dizon!

Dear Jody,

Firstly, sorry for this very late message. It's been a year since our wedding but a lot of things have happened since! Among these, found out I was pregnant in September and had since been advised to take bedrest until December. It's been a delicate pregnancy but we're happy now that I and the baby (girl!:) have recovered.

Anyway, it's better late than never....don't want to let this chance slip away....

"We would like you to know how sincerely we appreciated what Events Experts (and of course, you!) had done for us on our wedding day. You and your team made it a worry-free day for us -- indeed a very memorable occasion in our life as a couple! We remembered how we happily chatted after the reception - about what happened that day. The unavoidable glitches you told us came out as a big surprise since we didn't have the slightest idea they even happened! Thank you very much for being on top of things and for handling them well. You helped made those tiny glitches 'disappear' when they happened letting us savor each second of our wedding - trouble-free! We got to focus and enjoy what really mattered! We can't thank you enough for making it the perfect wedding for us: you helped turn our dream wedding into reality - such a perfect day we will relive in our memories again and again in the coming years. This, for us, is simply priceless!

God bless and more power! We hope many more couples would also get to experience your indispensable services so they too, can have their perfect weddings!"

Best regards,
