Almost everyone's advise - "Must get an On The Day Coordinator". This may vary though. This can be a supplier or friend/relative. Downside of having a friend/relative as a coordinator is that you have to be sure that he/she can handle stress under pressure and treat it as work, else it can be friendship over. That person will not be able to enjoy your wedding even the after party.
I asked for other friends opinion and read blogs and forums. It boiled down to Christine Ong-Te (COTE), Phyllis Lim and Wedding Treasures. COTE's price was around 50K for OTD according to research. Oh boy, that's way expensive! Phyllis - I know she's comparably good according to feedback of my relatives and friends. But she was my college professor. I was too shy to ask her to do things for me. So finally, it boiled down to Wedding Treasure. I set up a meeting with them and our contact was Vangie Go. Phyllis Lim and Wedding Treasure are of the same OTD rate. The fiance very much like her for the expertise and knowledge she shared (talk about being 15 yrs in the industry!). I think we chatted for about 1.5 hours just discussing tips for the event -- suppliers, contract, guest list grouping etc. Hence, booked her around Jan, 2014.
After getting the contract, she gave me a bunch of templates I need to fill! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm actually happy because her documents are all I could ask for. She even shared me several checklist I need for the day, some songs, programs and even proposed layout! Amazing! Because of this, she now has a dedicated folder in the our Google drive.
Wedding Treasures consists of 3 sisters, Eugene Go Oda, Evelyn Go Lim and Evangeline Go. They have celebrated 15 yrs in the industry as of last year.
