Wedding suppliers from all over Quezon Province gathered to showcase their craftsmanship in their chosen fields at the Pacific Mall at Lucena, Quezon last September 16-30, 2008. A total of twenty exhibitors rom Sariaya, Lucena, Tayabas, and San Pablo, Laguna who are involved in wedding catering, photography, hair and make-up, flower set-up and arrangement, invitations offered package deals to to-be wed guests.

During the fair, Revelation Band entertained the crowd with acoustic rendition of popular love songs.

According to Miles Royales, wedding coordinator and events planner for Wave Events Services, the goal is to open up the wedding industry of Quezon, introduce the suppliers to the couples, and offer their services to them. She said that the Quezonians are traditionally ‘hands-on’ on weddings and at times, it is the locals who organize and plan it themselves.

“I’m trying to open up the idea that ‘Hey, someone is here to help you on the day of your wedding’ and they can choose from the wedding suppliers who are here who can give [them] quality service kasi at times because of pagtitipid… kasi sympre probinsya ‘to so all additional expenses parang mahal sa kanila ‘yon… We’re just trying to give them a beautiful wedding.” she adds.
