Okay now that we have our venue, looking for a caterer that will pass Migs' standards was tough. Since he's a chef, he is very particular with the food. Tita Gigi (Migs' mom) and I went to a bridal fair to have our food tasting at one of the top caterers but ended up disappointed. Afterwards, we decided to have a quick coffee break at Starbucks reviewing some of the packages from different caterers from the fair and reading the complimentary wedding magazine. That's where we saw Purpledish by Chef Velmor. His take on food was very personal and very unique adding his own twist. He immediately caught our attention. So the next day I called him and asked for his package. At first i was hesitant because it seems that he's way beyond our budget, but what the hell let's see! Surprisingly, the package was okay plus it comes with a wedding stylist - Gideon Hermosa. Yes yes Gids Hermosa one of the top wedding stylist! I said to myself this is it! this is it!!! But wait, we have to try the food first.
Chef Velmor, only does private food tasting at his restaurant in Manila, Cucina ni Chef, former Dolce Vita. I was with Tita Gigi, and two of Migs Aunt (Tita Pong and Tita Aileen) and family friend. We had our one-on-one consultation with Velmor himself, letting us try his pizza, soup (i love the pumpkin soup), homemade bread and dips, salad ( i love the dressing), appetizers, beef, pasta and the desserts. They were all good.
So there, we will have Purpledish as our caterer. Next agenda, my first gown fitting, meeting with the coordinator and Gids Hermosa for the styling. Happy Happy!
