Any life event is best celebrated with a perfectly planned gathering. However, the tedious process of budgeting, scheduling, and dealing with suppliers like the venue, food, decorations, transportation, photographers, and more could take a whole chunk of one's time, energy, patience, peace of mind and health.
For example, if you are getting married, let the experts handle your wedding preparations. It would save you time, money, energy, and unnecessary stress. And you would be in your best - radiant, vibrant, energetic and happy - during this once in a lifetime event that you will remember for the rest of your lives (and which your children and grandchildren will surely ask about).
Having enough experience, event planners know whom to contact for food, venue, decorations, logistics, photos, and more so that you could have a beautiful wedding that is within your budget.
They know what works and what doesn't, so, they can also give you helpful advice.
One trusted event planner is The Perfect Planners. Based in Iloilo City, they provide superb packages to help make your dream wedding come to life.

Perfect Packages
Their basic package is Perfectly Simple, which is ideal for those who are on a limited budget yet aspire for elegance. "Some couples were even surprised because it does not look simple," said Mae Tamayo Panes, managing director of The Perfect Planners.

Perfectly Simple includes full event management and coordination, event styling including bouquets and boutonnieres, church and reception decors; ceremony essentials, church venue fees with choir, hotel reception for 100 persons (buffet), stationery (invitations), professional event host, 3 layers wedding cake, customized guest book, a bottle of wine, one hotel overnight stay for the bride's preparations, projector and screen, a bridal car with decor, and photo and video coverage with SDE.
Meanwhile, Perfectly Special is similar to Perfectly Simple but with more oomph - a bigger buffet spread, additional flowers, and centerpiece, among others.
Their upper-level package is Perfect Dream. It is an upgraded Perfectly Simple and Perfectly Special with all the works! Extensive buffet spread, church red carpet, more special invitations, 5 layers wedding cake, entourage van, and wedding souvenirs are some of the added features.
Making Dreams Happen
"We are with you starting from the concept creation until your wedding day. We can do weddings with a concept that represents your lives, what you want to do together ... your journey together," Panes said.
For example, there are couples who pay attention not just to their wedding ceremony and reception but to their prenuptial shoot. The Perfect Planners also helped out. (Watch: Prenuptial and Same Day Edit wedding video of Rouge and Jacq by Haraya Studios)
"We had a couple who wanted us to add gowns for the entourage, so we recommended our designers. For a couple who loves to travel, we designed a bridal bouquet made from maps of the world. Unlike real flowers that wither, the couple can keep this in a glass box and display it at home," Panes said.
Their souvenirs are a hit, too. Some of these are the chests created by The Crafty Green Owl a.k.a. Panes' artistic husband.
