Rating for Ceremony Set Up: 4 (Recommended)

Kar really knows what she is doing. The ceremony aisle was just beautiful. If only the aisle was a little bit wider it would have been perfect! (totally not Kar’s fault!) I was informed naman talaga that the ceremony garden can be comfortably set up for 120pax but I insisted for 160 set up.

The Ceremony Aisle





 
Wish: I wish the altar was more elaborately set up. Like more flowers and more purpler than champagne. The ghost chairs were a nice touch. I just wish the “I DO” writings at the back of the seats were not printed on paper.



“I DO” chairs


I know that K by Cunanan’s style is minimalistic. I should have told Kar that I wanted a more elaborate altar set up like the way I did with the aisle BUT I love her touch on the unity candle and the dried twigs with crystals in front. And I love the color of the flowers! Full of purples and purplish pink!

I got to see the reception set up when I was walking to the ceremony area and I was amazed at Kar’s set up! The tables were beautiful! Just how she told me it would be. I love her set up with the VIP table, the photo op corner, the couple’s table, the cake table and the guest tables. Kar surprised me with the cake! The cake she got for me was my first peg to her which she said will cost me more than my budget so I sent her a less decorated cake peg. But lo and behold, the cake that she gave me was my first cake peg and it was so beautiful! I was very happy when I passed by the cake table!:) The cake was yummy too! Kudos to Kar and Cake Concepts Unlimited.

I did not get to meet Cake Concepts Unlimited. Kar did the negotiations for me. They were good because they copied my cake peg beautifully:) The flavor was like that of fruit cake or apple walnut. It was good!

This is the peg  that we gave to Kar Reyes.



This is my actual wedding cake created by Cake Concepts Unlimited :)

I don't know how Kar was able to talk to Cake Concepts about it but I was earlier informed that an elaborate design will cost so much more! I am so happy Kar pulled some strings!

EVERYONE including Senator Drilon and his wife was RAVING about the food!!!!! I was told that Sen. Drilon ate so much! Haha

The appetizers were a hit! The broccoli cheese soup was very good. The barbecue chicken salad was a treat to people who are choosy to eat vegetables. The cheesy pasta penne gave our vegetarian guest something to eat. The honey nut prawns were soooo good! The beef of the osso bucco was so tender. The fish was great too! The vanilla ice cream was a hit too!

Kar followed our agreement about the food to the very last detail. I was very specific to her and my reminders to her were stern. I told her that if there’s anything I will splurge on it will be food. Before my wedding, there were negative reviews about K by C’s food. I was honest to tell her that I have reservations on some of her food in my menu. I was not able to verify everything but what I heard from the guests themselves told me that everything was followed.

A friend who is a critical foodie told me my food was great!
