The wedding at Christ The King and reception at the Tivoli Royale was ably planned by wedding coordinators of Augustine Music and Events with the participation of outstanding wedding musicians of Philippines making the event worth remembering.
All activities at the church were managed by the wedding planners, attending, too to some guests need assisting and made sure that everything run the smoothest. When the ceremony was done, two planners were assigned to attend for the seating arrangements with another coordinator assisting guests were their tables were. Their were 250 guests to managed and with proper handling, the show was run right.
I hosted the wedding program with the wedding coordinators guiding me all the way to make my rituals follow the way the couple wanted to happen – bridal entourage were assembled to descend from the spiral stairs for the presentation, glasses with wine were ready when the ceremonial toast was about to happen, guests per table were assisted for the pictorial with the couple before going to the banquet table, single ladies and single guys were gathered for the game where next groom and bride in the future were chosen.
The music was carefully chosen by the couple that speaks of their taste and during their first dance, a popular old song was rendered. The lyrics speak of how much they love each other as they had their ceremonial wedding dance.
The tandem of the coordinators and musicians of Augustine Music and Evens will always be remembered because we see to it that our services are ably performed at par by dedicated wedding coordinators and planners with Philippine musicians who always stand out because of their passion for music.

Wedding Planning on an Open Field - Augustine Music and Events
It was a turnaround of schedule and a relative’s wedding was set for an afternoon outdoor Christian Wedding on an open field overlooking the famous Taal Lake in Tagaytay. This was a first experience where ceremony was held in huge tract of land and just few trees sprouting a distance afar looking like a safari but breathtaking nonetheless.
It was easy for me to manage the guests and activities for the wedding ceremony and reception of about 70 guests mostly coming from the north. Around 3:30 pm when everything was set and ready for the line-up of the bridal entourage for the wedding procession. Exactly 4 pm when we started. There were no wedding musicians around but a solo guitar player who is a close relative of the bride making do with a simple sound system of two speakers but he sounded good strumming his classical guitar for the piece Canon in D for the procession and for the bridal march, an original composition was rendered by him. Unfortunately, it crossed my mind to ask for the title.
The music during the wedding ceremony was very tame. It was so romantic just hearing a single instrumentalist doing favorite wedding music list from the couple. Everyone felt awed with solemnity of the affair amidst the soft hush of breeze so cool and invigorating as the couple exchanged their wedding vows with faint guitar sound doing the famous Filipino song, “Ikaw.”
When the ceremony was done, there was a cocktail set for everybody timely to do a little rearrangement of tables and chairs for the reception on the same ground. It was 6 pm when the wedding program started. All center tables were adorned with lighted candles and faint light coming from the distant road adding shiny reflections from the sea stream creating a fantastic environ, to me was the most fascinating reception I’ve attended. To my dismay, I wasn’t able to capture anything. Their wedding photographer was a relative of the bride and I guess she wasn’t charged like me because the groom is my close relative. The bride is from Cavite and the groom is an Ilocano from the north.
I didn’t have much time for myself because I hosted the wedding reception program and I was alone doing everything from the wedding planning till the wrap-up job. It took me a week for the preparations and everything turned just right with some help from the bride’s relatives.
It was an unforgettable Philippine wedding and I will always treasure the moments with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pinto who conceptualized a simple budgeted wedding but turned into what we can call a dream wedding.

GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY - AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENTS
It was a casual wedding celebration with the children doing the rounds that day of August 6 to set a wedding reception party out of the celebrants wish for an orderly event. The guests from far and near came to join the festivity for after 50 years here they were to renew their unending vow of love.
Joeben and Babie, as they are fondly called arrived on time for the 5pm golden wedding mass officiated by two priests from Sanctuario de San Jose though the rite was held at a clubhouse intimate enough to house around 150 guests mostly friends and of course, members of the family with their kids.
Wedding musicians from Augustine Music and Events provided the chosen wedding music the couple found appropriate with participation of the grandchildren playing the bridal march and a song from a mother and daughter tandem during the vows where they did first the song number then vows were exchanged. It was a touching moment listening to the wonderful and meaningful words from both with soft romantic background music live from Augustine Music.
During the offertory, a classic wedding song was offered then for the communion a classical piece was rendered touching the hearts of both for they love those selections.
When the wedding ceremony was done, a cocktail was prepared for the guests as rearrangement of the venue took place. It took about 30 minutes to finish ready for the wedding reception program prepared by the eldest of the children. It was a simple program with mostly the children and kids doing numbers to the guests’ delight. Well, a program more of showcasing talents and entertainment. It was fun being involved even just watching as they did their numbers. Even the audio-visual presentation took longer than expected then repeated for the couple to watch after they had their photo sessions moving from table-to-table having pictorials with the guests being at their 80’s but looking years younger than their ages. Their agility simply dictates that they live a healthy lifestyle.
Then rain poured heavily timely for the program to end but it did not take that long ready for the guests to go home with light feelings because they had wonderful moments with the couple on their 50th wedding golden anniversary party.
Perfection is not required for any celebration but the simple joy being around is called for and weddings in the Philippines are most cherished not because of romance but the sheer involvement making an affair worth remembering. Being into music, wedding musicians of the Philippines add soul to WEDDINGS. And for us artists, if we made clients happy – that is achievement.

A WEDDING AT FERNBROOK GARDENS - AUGUSTINE MUSIC AND EVENTS
The wedding of Mike and Bing started at exactly 4:30 pm at the Notre Damne di Chapelle when all guests were settled down before the procession began with their chosen music, “Down” in slow version then when the bride walked the aisle the song, “Angels Brought Me Here” was played. An intimate duo of a pianist and vocalist did the music.
Bishop Famadico officiated the solemn mass in Pilipino but the couple opted the offertory and communion songs in English. It seemed contradicting but that's what they wanted and it was not felt differently, anyway. And the Lord's Prayer instead of recited was sang in Tagalog by Francisco's version of “Ama Namin” which I consider the best among other versions.
During the pictorial, light Tagalog songs were rendered and the rest were beautiful Pilipino instrumentals familiar to most of us. Piano solo seems appreciable because of the lightness it brings to a music so romantic from a distance. It seems like a bird hum. It creates solemnity around a chapel like the one in Fernbrook Gardens. Normally, church activities last for more than an hour in preparation for the grand celebration where a feast is ready to share.
Before program started, hors d' ouevre and drinks were served that lasted for an hour. And when the couple was ready all the members of the entourage except parents and principal sponsors were assembled by the wedding coordinators for the presentation where the members danced to a fast music as introduced. They wholeheartedly did a share of gaiety to the guests' delight and when Mike and Bing were introduced they did a choreographed dance when they reached the center floor. It was fun watching the two enjoying the moment. All of us enjoyed the scene that not often done – four different dance styles. Something to beat merging it around for four or five minutes.
The wedding duo of Augustine Music and Events shared light-easy-listening kind of music during dinner. When almost all are halfway done with their dinner a guest performer sang a beautiful rendition of “Faithfully” then followed by her daughter belting a Whitney Huston's song. It added a certain variety to the occasion and another guest sang a classic Tagalog song, “Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Mo” with a lilt and a surprise number from a close friend that resembled a novelty piece but fun to listen to and obviously it sent a message to her friend.
To prolong the program, a question and answer trivia game was done with the bride and groom kissing each other when the answer was right and the winners got beautiful gifts. This is one way to involve the guests and it adds a certain flavor to a celebration.
As always, I treasure wedding memories and this is one of them. Weddings are fun to be engaged with even they are almost the same, there is something new that surprises and something to reckon with.

WEDDING NOTES – A CHRISTIAN WEDDING AT THE DISCOVERY
The penthouse of The Discovery Suites is suitable venue for an intimate wedding ceremony that can accommodate around hundred guests, the reason why close relatives and friends prefer the 42nd floor overlooking the whole of Pasig and Mandaluyong.
A wedding ceremony like this requires resplendent music to complement the feel of the place and remarkable wedding musicians, for sure can get through with the vibes to expressively create sublime Christian music for the Tuazon-Crisologo Nuptials who love the romance it brings.
The bride walked from the spiral staircase trickled with white petals to the simple European brownish grey walled venue accenting a priceless big art frame, the largest I saw serving my memory. No garishness was observed enough to say that this was a transcendent wedding.
The bridal motif was formal and mostly were in their coat and tie and almost all female guests were in their resplendent gowns matching their sparkling jewelries. Taste was mirrored, if I can say for such an important occasion for Lesley and Maripaz who are truly in love and a promise was kept as they did their vows in the eyes of God.
The wedding reception program was informally hosted by friends who know them better, revealing some nice secrets to the amazement of some. There was no laborious program script for they were there to enjoy the moment as mastered by their hosts who kept up with time ready for a kingly dinner.
The world class music of the members of Augustine Music and Events added the splendor of the affair. Their music, at least tamed the guests as the night progressed because their program was aimed to keep their guests up and around. Most stayed until the wedding reception program was done, had some danceable music and a little drink.
I always treasure any event I was involved to, make some scribbles not to forget and do the best way possible to keep the memory because this too shall pass and having them posted (best way to treasure the memory) lingers.
