Repeat referrals like this truly warm our hearts, and motivate us to give more of the best service The Social Connection Events team can give.
If ever, this will be the 6th event we'll be handling for the family. ❤️

"Hello Celia!
I hope you’re doing well! My name is ______ and I was referred to you by my cousin, ________. She spoke so highly of your work, and I’m currently in the early stages of planning my wedding. I’m from the U.S., but I’m planning to have a destination wedding in the Philippines in 2026. No date set as of yet, but we were aiming for late February-March 2026.
If you’re interested, I’d love to discuss more with you and hear more about services you offer and pricing!
Looking forward to connecting with you!" ❤️

Thank you for the trust!
from The Social Connection Events team

Heartwarming messages such as these make us want to exert our best more so we can serve and achieve the dream event of our clients. We are sincerely grateful! 💖

The San Beda 66-70 Emerald Anniversary Gala Night at the Manila Polo Club last January 25, 2025 was, without a doubt, the most organized and well-planned grand reunion our batch has ever had. From the seamless flow of the program to the beautifully executed details, every aspect of the event reflected meticulous preparation and heartfelt dedication.
A huge part of this success is thanks to The Social Connection Events, led by Ms. Celia Cunanan, whose expertise and commitment ensured that everything ran smoothly. Her team’s professionalism and attention to detail created an atmosphere that was both elegant and welcoming, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the celebration.
Many of our guests shared how inspiring and unforgettable the night was—filled with nostalgia, camaraderie, and moments that will be cherished for years to come. It was truly a fitting tribute to 55 years of brotherhood and friendship, and a testament to what we can achieve when we come together as one Bedan family.
Bravo to everyone and to Ms. Celia Cunanan and her group who made this milestone celebration an outstanding success!
*********************************************************************
THANK YOU SO MUCH SAN BEDA CLASS OF 1966/1970 for trusting us again with your reunion. Special Thanks to Mr. Amang Sanchez for being a great planner and class coordinator to work with.

What a wonderful, magical celebration of our lovely Sabbie, for her 18th birthday! It was a beautiful very intimate gathering of close friends and family. We were all in fairyland, wearing wings and elf's ears, listening to the soothing music of the harp, and gazing at all the beautiful flowers around us!

And despite the rains, (which we consider as blessings) there was so much fun and joy! Tears of joy flowed in every part of the simple program, both from the guests and the debutante. 💖

We were supposed to have an outdoor Tea Party in the afternoon, boating on the lake, pictorial around the Lake Farm, then dinner at the main house. But the continuous pouring of rain confined us to the beautifully decorated main house, where fresh and lovely flowers abound in a fairyland setting.
Delicious food was a-plenty, starting with the Tea Party in the afternoon. A grazing table was filled with mini-sandwiches, sliders, fairy wands of fruits and cheeses, and a charcuterie board in butterfly shape. Then in the evening, a sumptuous Buffet Dinner followed by a simple Program, full of laughter and fun! 💖

This kind of heartwarming message from a client is the great reward for the job we all love to do, and make us even want to be better in it... ❤

There are no other hands on where we could have placed ourselves but yours with your heart, years of experience, and talent in your field. And you are family!💗 You are a blessing to us and to our dear Sabbie. Thank you so much for making her event such a tender and magical occasion. Everything was just splendid!
