For soon-to-weds planning the most important day of their lives, having the right team of suppliers makes all the difference. In Central Luzon, there is a community that works tirelessly to make every love story shine, The Central Luzon Event Suppliers Association (CLESA).
Founded in 2018, CLESA was born from a simple dream. Aris Santos of Flowers and Beyond wished to bring the iconic Suppliers’ Ball to Pampanga. This vision grew when he met event planner Michele Montemayor (Mich Events at Work) and videographer Robert Canlas (Kquentors). Together, they realized it was more than just an event they wanted to create, it was an industry movement.
CLESA became a symbol of unity, professionalism, and collaboration. It is now led by a strong board of directors: Founder & Chairman Michele Montemayor, Founder & Vice Chairman Robert Canlas, President Michael “Cacai” Muñoz (Portfolio Event Solution), Treasurer Erika Sadac (Details Matter), Secretary Hershey Mayrina (Candies and Themes), and directors Juvy Angeles, Regina De Jesus, Raiza Bucud, Rein de Leon and Aris Punzalan.
Their mission is clear: to connect suppliers across Central Luzon, provide equal opportunities in venues, uphold professional standards, and foster an environment where creativity thrives.
For couples, this means access to a network of trusted, passionate suppliers who are not just vendors, but collaborators in turning wedding dreams into reality.
CLESA’s logo is a heart filled with the provinces of Central Luzon, which perfectly reflects its soul. It is more than an association; it is a family of event professionals united by love for their craft and commitment to excellence.
For soon-to-weds, CLESA represents peace of mind, knowing your dream team is not just skilled, but also guided by a shared vision to make your once-in-a-lifetime celebration unforgettable.
