Angel's Wink Production's MIDWAY PLANNING SERVICES is an ideal package for couples who had more or less taken the initial steps in realizing their wedding day. They may have gotten some suppliers already and would need a few more suppliers to cater to their other specific needs; and, at the same time they would still need or prefer the professional assistance of AWP to make the wedding plans into a cohesive whole, especially on the day of their wedding wherein AWP will act as its on-the-day coordinator.
This is also called the “turn-over” coordination service wherein the couple will simply turnover everything they have accomplished to the coordinator and the coordinator will take it from there.
This package can be availed by the couple somewhere between five to three months prior to the day of the wedding.
This package practically has the same inclusions as our full coordination services except for the time frame from which AWP will come in. For this, AWP has a lower package rate than the full planning services.
"Can we avail of AWP’s Midway Planning Services only as opposed to the AWP / PAULO CLEMENTE Package combined?"
Yes, definitely. You must understand however, that the AWP-Paulo Clemente Package combined will mean discount on the services of Mr. Clemente as your wedding singer and event host compared to hiring him separately. Plus you get 100 CD giveaways for free! That’s quite a steal! 
Our Midway Package also offers other hosts, trained skillfully and/or that meet the company’s high standards. Hosts are oftentimes left out by some clients. In our case, we put them under our priority list.
It is best to hire one good event host to assure that all the wedding preparations will get its match on the day of the wedding day itself. There have been lots of weddings not handled by (our) professional wedding hosts and it went haywire. Hosting weddings is an entirely unique thing and no amount of good English and personality can compare to someone specifically trained for it.
"What are your terms and conditions for AWP’s MIDWAY PLANNING SERVICES? Can we see a sample of your contract?"
We personally feel that a page-extensive contract containing all the minute details may not be as necessary.
We have a standard form which we call our RESERVATION AGREEMENT FORM which we can provide you upon request.
This form is a simplified version of the long contract but nevertheless as good as the page-extensive ones.
It is a legal contract in itself containing all the terms and conditions in simplified but pertinent form.
We simply attach something like what we have below add/minus other MINUTE DETAILS you and our company would want added/removed.
This can be signed per page by both parties or your representative in case you are offshore, while waiting for the original copy arrives.
