Garden and beach wedding

Rizal Philippines  |  February 23, 2015

This writer attended a garden and beach wedding at Balai Isabel. in Talisay Batangas.  The venue was besides the swimming pool and the beach.   I would estimate the expenses to be conservatively at P500,000.  It featured catered dinner from Makati, fireworks, lot of wines.  It was black suit necktie affair attended by Governor, Mayor, General, Lawyers, and Congressman.

The family of the groom owns a poultry distribution center, and a memorial park in Ilocos

The ceremonies was video taped and covered by a drone.

The wedding was officiated by a non Catholic minister and who talked very colorfully about the meaning of the ring, the veil and cord and all the parts of wedding ceremonies.

The conversation between the bride and groom were about their natural expression of their love for one another.

This author attended a garden wedding at Balai Isabel in Talisay, Batangas. Balai's area would be about 20 hectares with a about 100 cabanas.  The Hotel portion are only two buildings 4 storeys tall, and equipped with elevator.  It is reportedly owned by Kuh Ledesma and named after her daughter Isabel.

 And as such, as a garden, it is complete with a lot of landscaping and a lot ideas can be picked up from there.
