Kasalang Filipino 2007, the premiere 10-city wedding fair road show program of Kasal.com and ABS-CBN, opened in the cool summer city of Tagaytay last February 23-25, 2007.
Dubbed My Wedding in Tagaytay, the grand program launch was held at the Olivarez Convention Center @ Olivarez Plaza, which is strategically located at the heart of the city.
The wedding fair is the biggest and grandest to be held in the Province of Cavite, with over 70 local wedding suppliers supporting.
Ms. Ephel 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.
Cologne fountains, handmade earthenware from the local Corner Stone Pottery, and drawing/engraving on stones from Petroglyph Handicraft are just some of the new wedding ideas displayed during the 3-day event.
The second and third day welcomed guest speakers from Manila. Known event stylist Henry Pascual shared how to have a wedding in style while Metro Weddings' editor-in-chief Ms. Romina Urra-Gonzales lent wedding planning tips and advices to to-be weds. Renee Salud, one of the country's acclaimed fashion designers, also graced the event.
There were also programs to help to-be weds prepare for their new life together. The chef of Saladmaster showed simple cooking techniques while a representative from Brahma Kumaris shared how to have a "Positive Living through Listening." Various home & living requirements like car, realty, home decors and even financial services were also presented.
Ms. Mathel Ong of Kasal.com, 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 more provincial-based wedding suppliers to come out and show the unique product/service they have to offer."
