July « 2007 « Phases and Faces

Jul 30th

While most of our Wedded Couples come from the States, recently had an influx of couples who came from Europe! This July 2007 alone, we had 4 such weddings:
Eriksen-vik – Burgos (Norway)
Banares – Sayno (Denmark)
Somella – Bomagat (Italy)
Danny – Emily Basalubre Silver Wedding (Britain)

Of course, our biggest budgeted wedding so far was the Jorge – Michelle Wedding (Spain) held in Davao last February 1, 2007.

Busy Weekend

Jul 30th

June 22 to 24, 2007 was a very busy 3-day weekend for Phases and Faces. It started on Friday with the Cataquis-Villanueva wedding. Both the bride and groom were “kalog” and “pugon”.

The next day, we had 2 big weddings and one big debut. First was the Barcelino-Dael wedding in Meycauyan, Bulacan. They were a lovely couple as the groom (Pabs) is gwapo and the bride (Tintin) is a tall and beautiful lady. Though it rained it did not dampen the mood of the wedding where 400 guests came to celebrate.

On the same day was the Garcia-Tan wedding held at St. James Alabang and Makati Shangrila. On the way to the church, was a horrendous traffic in SLEX. Good thing we had motorcycle escorts. We arrived 30 minutes before the scheduled time of the wedding. But many of the principal sponsors arrived late because of the traffic. The wedding started 40 minutes late. At the reception, the guests were thrilled by our photo slide show and audio visual presentation. The guests especially the parents could not believe that the couple who are both very soft spoken and shy acted naturally. As it turned out, the AVP was very entertaining and the couple deserves an acting award. We also provided a studio set-up where we took the portraits of the ninongs and ninangs.

At the other Shangrila (EDSA) was Geraldine Paguntalan’s 18th birthday. The ISLA ballroom was transformed into a medieval kingdom complete with 2 huge castles as backdrops. Providing the music was the Legierro Orchestra and Parokya ni Edgar.

Last on our list was Sunday’s wedding of Ryan and Lily Canaria who are both US residents. Their program at the Grand Terrace also included a photo slide show and on-site video of the wedding. The couple really enjoyed those presentations.

It was a tiring weekend but each of the clients were surely delighted with the outcome of the services of Phases and Faces. Except for the Catquis – Villanueva wedding. all events were planned and coordinated by Solutions Events.
