(On-the-Day Coordinator/Emcee/Wedding
Singer Review)
As I
have previously mentioned, we were gunning for the smallest cost possible for
our wedding. So, we didn’t hire a whole group of On-the-Day (OTD) coordinators
to run the wedding and the reception program. We hired a one-man-show OTD
Coordinator/Emcess/Wedding Singer/Choir/Lector all rolled into one. His name is
Alexyz Arcilla.

We
found him at a friend’s wedding late last year and we were wowed by his exemplary
performance. We first noticed him at the church as lector/choir. Really great
vocal chords. He sounded like Josh Groban, no kidding! And we were amused at
how he was directing the bridesmaids and secondary sponsors on what to do while
he was singing. Talk about multi-tasking, no?
Then, we were surprised to see him at the reception, opening the
program. We thought, “Oh, he’s the emcee as well.” And when he sang, boy it was like he was
another person. He didn’t use his “Josh Groban” voice. As the wedding singer,
he was a balladeer like the sort of Martin Nievera or Ariel Rivera.
My
partner, who is rarely impressed by anything, decided right there and then that
Alexyz would be our guy. And so, we hired his services and we didn’t regret
that we did. Alexyz was a real professional, showed up on time in our meetings.
He was very collaborative and had my best interests at heart. He provided the songs and music editing for
the program, according to my specifications of course. Not a single mistake. He
delivered as we have discussed.
Also
a proof of his professionalism was that he still performed his best despite the
multiple rib fracture he suffered from a small accident a week or so before the
wedding. He informed me as soon as he got out of the hospital and assured me
that he would still host the program despite his injuries. As added precaution,
he brought a co-emcee to assist him in the program at no additional cost. Was
very happy with his service. My guests were greatly entertained. One of my
ninongs even signed a two thumbs up to me while pointing to my emcee. And oh,
did I mention he is a great singer? ;)
