Hosts Chico and Delamar

Rating: 4.5

The Morning Rush has been one of the staples when we were growing up since the 90's. We decided that they will be one of our non-negotiables if the price was right. For someone of their stature, their rate was competitive enough for consideration. 

It took awhile to get them to respond to our inquiries. It took Twitter to finalize our booking with them. Of all the suppliers, we met them last (in this case, only Chico because Delle was not in the studio that time). We met Chico six days prior to our wedding. They never asked for a reservation fee and preferred to settle everything on the wedding day itself. This lack of monetary assurance worried us because there was no second choice in case they didn't show up.

Come wedding day, Chico and Delamar were as professionals as they can get. No script and just a program flow, they made it look like everything was running as scheduled when in fact, we were already losing time.

During our meeting at the RX studios, Chico suggested to do a Top 10 on our wedding and we decided to give the top 3 entries a copy of their #1 book. The Top 10 Unusual Advices for Louis and Liz was one of the highlights of our wedding. It captured the light and relax feel of our wedding. Their ad libs were impeccable and both have very sharp minds to quip funny comments during the announcement of the top 10. This made the guests feel they are part of the program and everybody were laughing from the unusual and, sometimes, bordering obscene advices.

After the program, our friends made sure we were just ordinary again as they flocked to C&D to get their books signed. It was alright, we were as starstruck as them. We're just glad that we were the instrument to bring C&D and our friends together.

The 0.5 in the rating is just for the difficulty in trying to contact them. Since we're far away, it's hard to meet them up when we're in Manila. I still highly recommend them and they do an excellent job hosting.
