My Black and White Affair: The Venue and Caterer - Chow Unlimited (Catering Trio) Review


(Note: I am not paid to do this review nor a paid promotion.  I am just sharing my experiences through this blog. Enjoy reading!)



I am already one month married and I never expected married life to be this fun and challenging. 


I still can’t get over my wedding last month. I really thank God for helping us plan and prepare the wedding in three months. It was a little stressful but again, everything was worth it. 


I just want to share the suppliers that we had for the wedding. I splurge on a lot of stuff but I admit that for our wedding, my husband and I did our best to save. I know some will disagree with me but a wedding does not need to be glamorous nor elaborate. “Minsan lang naman kayo ikakasal, gawin niyo nang bongga.” – I’ve heard this a lot of times during the preparation but my husband and I really wanted a simple wedding – not to spend a lot for a one day event as we are also preparing for our lives AFTER the wedding. 


With the help of the internet and a telephone, I was able to find affordable but good wedding suppliers. :) 



Let me start with our venue and caterer. :) 



Place / Catering 

Chow Unlimited – Catering Trio

Location: 

Roofdeck Prestige Tower
F. Ortigas Jr. Road (formerly Emerald Ave.) 
Ortigas Center, Pasig City,


My husband and I thought that it will be better for the ceremony and the reception to be held in one place since we were going to have a Christian (Baptist) wedding.  I tried looking everywhere near Pasig/Mandaluyong area and I was able to find one. 


We got the services of Chow Unlimited located at Prestige Tower, Ortigas. It was like hitting two birds with one big stone. 


We were expecting around 150-180 visitors for our wedding.

My Black and White Affair: A Wedding Planned in 3 months - THE WEDDING BUDGET

Disclaimer: I am not a  wedding coordinator nor a wedding supplier. I am now paid to do advertise or promote anything here. Everything's based on experience, my headaches and joys as I prepare the my wedding. Enjoy reading and feel free to comment :) 


It was July 2014 when my husband and I told my father that we are going to get married. When my father asked the date, we told him we wanted to get married on August 2014. Being conservative to the core, I think my father blacked out when he heard that. 

To make the long story short, we decided to move our wedding date to Oct. 11, 2014. I was so freaking confident that I can coordinate, prepare, and organize everything for the wedding. 

Take note: I had a full-time job (which requires me to go to the office early and leave late).
I even told my hubby that I will take care of this and that, do some DIY (do-it-yourself) stuff and coordinate with everyone who will be attending the wedding.

Did it work out well? Hmmmm.. Actually it did work out well but honestly, my dear brides-to-be, you will be needing a lot of help. It was not easy! 

Not easy, BUT it's possible. :

I have learned a lot with that  3 months of preparation. There were some things that I wish I could have done and things I wish I didn't do. Let me share some of the stuff that I have learned. Let's start with the WEDDING BUDGET
