Batangas: Wedding at La Luz Resort

We both love to travel and we both love the beach, so while planning for our wedding we knew it had to be on the beach as well. Our initial choice was to have our wedding in a remote island in Coron with only our families as witnesses. But seeing how our relatives and friends were so excited after learning that we were tying the knot, we decided to look for another place that would be accessible to both Manila and Bicol-based friends and families, and that’s how we came about to choosing Laiya, Batangas.

La Luz Resort

La Luz Resort Rooms

When we saw La Luz resort, it was love at first sight. It was rustic, charming, romantic, and had that laidback vibe. Add to that their exceptional service and good food. Our only issue was difficulty in reserving the date. They were not accepting any reservations 1 year prior, because according to them they did not have the rates for that year yet. But after those initial hurdles, it was pretty much a stress free wedding, despite it being a destination wedding.

Reception

We had the wedding ceremony and reception set up on the shores of La Luz resort. To be honest, we were not expecting that they will be able to pull off our dream set-up. But when we walked in, the set-up was simply beautiful (although we provided some of the details for the ceremony and reception such as flowers, bottles as holders, shells, pinwheels, etc).

Feast of Love

Our wedding was what we had imagined it to be. We celebrated our union with our families and closest friends, partied under the full moon, drank our hearts out, and to top it all watched and cheered for Paquiao against his fight with Marquez the following day.
