So, one week into the planning, I’m choosing between four caterers.

Below is an excerpt from an e-mail I posted in w@w

“Haaay, up to now, hanap pa din kami ng caterer ~ Queensland, Batis Asul, and Blue Petals or Al Navarro. My bro in law and one of my friends had Queensland as their caterer way back 2001. E syempre, si Edil sabi dun na lang, kaso natatakot ako kasi 50-50 ang batting average ng feedbacks sa kanila. AT tumawag ako dun..josko day! May nag away pa! HAHAHA! Kasi wala akong fax machine so I requested to have them email me their current rates (I have sa w@w file pero for comparison kung nagtaas ng package whatever), so unang nakausap ko, sabi punta daw ako sa website, www.queenslandcatering.com. So punta ako, fill up ng contact form etc. E wala pa kinabukasan so I called them uli. Siguro ung nakausap ko kagabi (mga 6pm na siguro un kasi), di alam na wala silang email (o di nagwowork), so with me on the phone, sinagawan nya yung babae. Nahihiya ako para sa kanila. Pero sige, we would still go there sa Sunday.I was impressed with Blue Petals though. They were very professional during my first call and had me transferred to Arthur right away. Parehas lang sila ng Queensland ng rates I think. www.bluepetalscatering.com. I have to schedule a food tasting with them this weekend.
When I was searching through the w@w archive, I chanced upon Al Navarro (www.alnavarrocatering.com) (cel:09173272171), and he replied agad. I read he was referred by Alex to another w@wie here. Sabi nya he will call me tonight kasi he will customize daw my package (tinanong kung ilan pax and saan ang reception). I still havent received a call from him though.
We are also scheduled to have the food tasting at Batis Asul (www.batisasul.net on Feb 12. This is the nearest caterer in Sta. Rita (our church)…so let us see how it goes.”
