Destination Philippine Islands

Did you know there are 7,107 islands that make up the Philippine Islands?

I didn't until I had the opportunity to visit many of the beautiful venues that would love to host destination weddings. Whether you'd like to get married in a resort in the middle of Manila or on the China Sea white sand shore, there's a venue for you.

The hotels and resorts are 4 and 5 star rated, the food delicious and the service over and above expectations. Where else can you find a handful of Calla lilies for $1??? You can easily do a wedding for 150 guests there in one of the top hotels for less than $10,000, so you can imagine the cost for the two of you or a small group.

All-be-it it's a long flight, but you sleep most of the way and the airlines feeds you really well! Also, you don't have to pay for your beverages.

There is tight security at every turn, but nothing to be afraid of if you don't get off the beaten path. While I was there, we toured all over Manila and one of the most memorable places, for me, was the American War Memorial. It's the largest military cemetery outside the US. There are still around 35,000 soldiers unaccounted for and each name is engraved in a large marble wall.

The Philippine people are extremely polite and friendly and they know how to throw a party!
If you are looking for an exotic place for your wedding, where none of your friends have gotten married, check out the Philippine Islands. It's even possible to have a designer make your dress in the range of $900 - 1500. These dresses are beautiful and can have a lot of hand beading done. They just need your measurements and ideas of what you'd like to have.

Guys, if you're looking for a beautiful gift for your bride, this is the place to buy the natural south sea pearls in almost any color you want and very reasonable!

I had the opportunity to make many contacts there and am more than happy to assist you with your planning and being on site for your wedding. For pictures and more information please contact me at 303-779-0395 or www.weddingsbytanya.com.
