Book the pros for your occasion
Weddings, debuts, birthdays and company events each need a different set of people. Pick the occasion to see who to book, what to agree on, and the questions people ask most. Every Phriend is ID-verified and booked by the hour.
Wedding
A Filipino wedding runs on a team of people: hair and makeup at dawn, a photographer and videographer from the preparation to the last dance, a host who keeps the program moving, and a coordinator who keeps the suppliers on time. Book each of them on Phriend, or a team that comes together.
Who to book
Prenup shoot
A prenup shoot is a day out: a photographer who knows the light, often a videographer for a short film, hair and makeup that lasts through outfit changes, and someone to drive you between locations. Popular spots are Tagaytay, Intramuros, the beaches of Batangas and La Union, and Cebu's heritage streets.
Who to book
Debut
A debut has a program to keep: the entrance, the 18 roses, the 18 candles, the cotillion. A host who has run debuts before keeps it on time, while hair and makeup, a photographer and a videographer make sure the night is remembered. A coordinator handles the suppliers so the family can enjoy it.
Who to book
Birthday party
From a milestone 30th to a lola's 80th, a birthday party goes better with a few extra hands: a host for the games and the program, a photographer, a musician or DJ, and someone who can cook or run the food. Book only what the party needs, for the hours you need it.
Who to book
Kids' party
A children's party is all about the program: games, prizes and a host who can hold a room of seven-year-olds. Add a photographer so the parents can join in, and a coordinator for the food, the cake and the giveaways.
Who to book
Baptism
A binyag is short at the church and longer at the reception. A photographer covers the ceremony and the family photos with the ninongs and ninangs; a videographer and a coordinator help when the reception is big.
Who to book
Graduation
Graduation season fills every studio. Book a photographer for campus photos in your toga, hair and makeup for the day, and a host or musician if there is a party after.
Who to book
Corporate event
Product launches, town halls and team buildings need people who can run a program and capture it: a professional host, a photographer and a videographer for the content, an interpreter for foreign guests, and a coordinator who handles the day.
Who to book
Christmas party
The Christmas party season starts in November. A host with games, raffles and an exchange-gift program keeps it fun; a photographer and a musician or band finish it off. Book early: December weekends go first.
Who to book
Reunion
Reunions bring people home: balikbayan relatives, classmates from abroad, three generations at one table. A host keeps the program moving, a photographer gets everyone in the frame, and a tour guide or driver helps visiting family get around.
