Mock Setup and Final Food Tasting at Queensland

We went to Queensland's office yesterday for our mock setup. When we arrived at their office, our AE Ms. Michelle Galdiano was there na. We didn't have to wait 'coz they already set up the tables so we just had to check na lang.

Honestly, upon seeing it, we didn't like it. I understand they copied lang the sample I gave them but it didn't turn out nice at all. Esp. adding those Abaca baskets as low flower vases. And they put tall round vases instead of tall straight so I just insisted to use  straight since it's what on the sample we gave them. 

Here the sample setup photos I wanted. Got these from Bridal Book. Lovely.

We also chose not to put a runner on the presidential table. We only opted for a plain table top. But gray looks better than their pink table topper. However, they're all SATIN. But it's better than other colors they showed us so we settled for that. 

Our AE noted all our requests. And I mean ALL. Ang dami. And we kept changing our minds while Ms. Michelle's finalizing our setup. She kept re-printing. Hehehe. Sorry! 

Ms Madel arrived shortly after our AE noted everything. Thank God we got to talk to her. Of course, she's the one who approves clients' demands and add ons. She's easy to talk to. Actually, all of them. We wanted a panel backdrop instead of pillars. She said yes. We wanted a couch for the stage. She said yes. Good thing a lot of people are asking if they have a couch, and there, it's time to buy one. And tons of requests that she said yes to. And she also told us na she's gonna buy a plain chiffon table top so they can put it daw on top of the satin cloth for a more romantic look. I agree. I like it more than just the plain satin table top.

Soon after our mock setup, we had our final food tasting at their other venue. We didn't taste everything on our chosen package. But the food that were served were good. And we picked some of them although they're not included in our chosen package. 

It makes me super excited talaga. And I hope they go beyond our expectations on our big day. From food to their setup.  

Caterer: Queensland Catering

Finally! We had our caterer booked yesterday. From hundreds of choices, we came down to one -- Queensland Catering.

They offer good food and elegant setup for a low price. Their wedding packages start from P350++. Of course we're not just after the food but the setup must also stand out. We'll be having 200 guests and being honest to myself, we cannot afford a 200k+ food budget for Josiah's or K by Cunanan. They were our top choices, in dreams I suppose. But Queensland's food isn't that far from those caterers. When we had our initial food tasting at Ysable's Garden las January, their Baked Norwegian Salmon in Parmesan Cheese and Chicken Flambe were my top picks. They got my taste buds all giddy.
