Chab and John’s Memories in Planning their Antonio’s Tagaytay Wedding

We can hear Chab’s excitement through the screen when she said: “O-M-G. I don’t think I’d ever suggest anyone plan remotely. Haha!”

As fate would have it, our couple jump on the adventure of planning their wedding remotely and it was an exhilarating experience. With the world navigating through the uncertainties of a pandemic, the Chab and John faced the task of deciding between two countries — Philippines or the UK. Ultimately, they chose Antonio’s Tagaytay as the backdrop for their love-filled celebration. However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

Imagine early morning calls from the UK, coordinating with vendors who were in a different time zone. And not to mention the logistical complexity of needing two sets of vendors for certain elements, such as the invites. But, against all odds, their determination and unwavering love guided them through the process. And they couldn’t be more grateful for their decision as they discovered the perfect partners in Hello & Co Cinema and Ram Marcelo. “We looked at loads of pictures and watched soooo many same day edits before we fell in love with the relaxed style. It felt more like “us”. Chab and John shared.

Moreover, a standout moment was their unforgettable food tasting at Antonio’s — a culinary experience that made their hearts flutter with delight. The couple said, “Another huge highlight for us was our food tasting in Antonio’s. The whole team were fantastic and made us feel so relaxed and excited. They were even kind enough to incorporate some British elements into the menu to make it extra special.”
