| Ms.
Ephil Olivarez of Tagaytay Country Hotel, who co-organized
the Tagaytay leg with Town's Delight, shared, "Our goal
is to promote Tagaytay City and the Province of Cavite
as the ultimate wedding destination. No other place
can offer a more romantic ambiance - picturesque view
of the Taal lake, cool weather all year round, lush
flowers and foliage. Our close proximity to Metro Manila
makes us also a viable and practical choice for an out-of-town
wedding destination."
Fair visitors were
welcomed with street dancing, courtesy of the students
of Olivarez College. |

To-be
weds, several of which came all the way from Batangas,
Laguna, Rizal, Bulacan, and Manila, were treated to
FREE calesa ride around the vicinity, FREE tour of the
city's wedding venues, FREE pre-nuptial pictorial, and
many more giveaways and raffle prizes.
Creatively designed
booths, combined with musical performances from local
talents, set the romantic ambiance of the event. Tagaytay
Country Hotel and Town's Delight created beautiful mock
wedding setups for to-be wed guests. |
|
| |
| Hacienda
Isabela, Riviera Golf and Country Club, and Nurture Spa won
the event's awards for creative booth displays.
|
| |
| The
event also presented Cavite's finest wedding fashion.
The first day's main attraction
was the wedding fashion show from Amadeo's Pahimis festival.
The use of the coffee beans from the local town of Amadeo
as the gowns' indigenous accents not only promotes the
ingenuity of the local talents but also its local products.
Cavite's established fashion designer Ramon Santiago
showcased the local wedding trend while Bibsy Mae del
Rosario and Fe Seducon did a modern take on bridal gowns. |

in closing, imparted, "We are very grateful with the support
of Cavitenos to this event. This wedding fair truly embodied
Kasal.com's goal of promoting the richness and diversity of
our local wedding industry. We hope this event will inspire
