Is Baguio ready to say 'I do?'

BAGUIO is a popular nest for romantic wedding destinations. Alongside our picturesque views, cool weather and warm hospitality, it is with no doubt that wedding suppliers play a significant role in making one union truly memorable. But like most industries, wedding events have been greatly affected by the pandemic. Wedding cancellations or postponement instead of new bookings have become the new norm. But like any industry, the only way to go and survive is to rise above challenges and be on track.

Is Baguio ready to say I do then? The Baguio League of Classified Wedding Enthusiasts, a newly organized wedding suppliers' organization have nothing but a resounding YES for an answer and they had this affirmed with a grand launching at the Cameron Forbes Grand Ballroom, Baguio Country Club on October 18, 2020.

The objective of the organization is to upgrade and highly professionalized the industry members and to give an array of quality options to soon-to-weds and party celebrators.

I am fortunate to have witnessed this red carpet event online showcasing the best of Baguio's wedding creatives and artists from the emcees, musicians, creative stylists, hair and make-up artists, florists, couturier, photographers and videographers, cake, catering, mobile bar and souvenir providers, lights and sounds and wedding coordinators with their models, products and creations. It is a privilege to meet and hear the men and women behind Baguio's awesome wedding events with each sector represented sharing messages of hope, optimism and resilience.

The turnout of event was indeed overwhelming with a showcase of great powerhouse of legendary talents and up and becoming new artists in the wedding event industry. To put together one big event as this entails dedication, unity and unwavering support from the different sectors and Olec Josephus, one of Baguio's reputable and esteemed make-up artist, couturier and freelance photographer says it best when he said, "It takes a hundred of brilliant idea and brilliant minds to come up with something that will make an impact" ... and truth be told that this launching impacted the whole industry and will continue to do so with the airing of, "Wedding Talks: The Intimate Encounters," a series of video projects presenting a workshop of selected Baguio event talents with a weekly livestream talk show that commenced on October 18, 2020.

The organizers would like to thank The Baguio Country Club for the event venue, Engr. Alec Mapalo, head executive Baguio Tourism Council for welcoming the organization to be part of the tourism industry and Ms. Roxie Baeyens, Miss earth Philippines 2020; Ms. Ingrid Payaket, Baguio's nightingale and supermodel Leanna Canlas for gracing the event and Ms. Jamie Santos of Viva La Events as co-producer together with all the participants and sponsors who made this event possible.
