Just 2 hours south of Manila lies a wedding destination that can truly give you an authentic Filipiniana wedding.

San Pablo, Laguna – popular for its seven lakes and coconut festivals – is also synonymous to Patis Tesoro (known for her Filipiniana fashion creations), Villa Escudero (famous for its distinct Filipino ambiance), Kusina Salud (fast gaining popularity for its honest-to-goodness Filipino cuisine), and Viaje del Sol (art and culture tour of Laguna and Quezon).

Last Sept. 28-29 in Pamana Hall, the City has come full circle as it presented a complete array of wedding venues, supplies and services the local industry has to offer in Kasalang San Pablo wedding fair and exhibit.

Did you know?

Just a few minutes from San Pablo are nearby towns of Lumban, where you can get reasonably priced but excellently crafted piña barongs and wedding gowns; and Paete, where you can get quality woodworks and paper maches perfect as wedding favors and giveaways.


Marching Band of local students
Starting the celebration in true Filipino fashion, a marching band of local students welcomed fair guests to the 2-day wedding event. Various booths like those of known local florist Elmer Enciong and popular wedding venues JW Reception Hall and Maria Paz Garden Resort were creatively designed using local materials. Event visitors were also entertained by ethnic dance performances of local student groups. 

The second day is equally filled with excitement as 15 local make up artists competed to bring out the beauty of the Filipina bride. 

Mr. Egay Victorio, the local event organizer, shared, “Kasalang San Pablo does not only show the beauty of our local wedding culture, it is also a testament to the Filipino spirit of bayanihan (cooperation). This event would not have been made possible without the generosity of the City Government, the cooperation of the local wedding suppliers, and the support of the local people.”

Kasalang San Pablo was capped with a special wedding fashion show led by the City’s top-caliber fashion designers – Alex Alcos, Eddie Escondo, Chico Estiva, Cris Gamo, Armhand G. Remojo and Chiva Siason.
