VIA GRAPHIC PLUS | ILOILO CITY, PHILIPPINES — Planning a wedding is a journey of turning dreams into reality, and Richmonde Hotel Iloilo is setting the perfect stage for modern couples as they begin their “happily ever after.” Last June, the hotel lobby was transformed into a haven of style and local creativity with Richmonde showcasing the stunning bridal fashion exhibit of renowned Iloilo-based designer Peter Gagula, under his celebrated brand Peach Garde.
Running until July 15, the display features an extraordinary collection of wedding gowns and Barong Tagalog reimagined through contemporary design. Every piece celebrates Filipino craftsmanship, heritage, and creativity, utilizing the rich textures of locally sourced fabrics to bring timeless glamour to modern weddings. Beautifully styled by Events by Tanz, the exhibit serves as an invitation to couples planning a dream wedding that blends tradition and unique style.
The Perfect Prelude: “Ready, Set, I Do!” Pre-Wedding Stay
The artistry featured in the lobby is just a glimpse of the seamless experience Richmonde offers soon-to-be newlyweds. Recognizing that the journey to the altar should be filled with joy rather than stress, the hotel presents “Ready, Set, I Do!”—a simple and straightforward pre-wedding stay package designed for chic comfort and effortless preparation.
Couples can enjoy a relaxing night’s rest before the big day in any of the hotel’s spacious, well-appointed accommodations. Whether choosing an Executive Deluxe Room, Premier Room, or a luxurious One-Bedroom Suite, the generous floor areas easily accommodate the bride’s glam team, supportive bridesmaids, and photo/video crews.
Best of all, bookings are highly accessible, priced at the hotel’s current best available rates, with no extra charges for in-room bridal preparations, and use of the hotel’s most picturesque public spaces—including the lobby, driveway, guest floor hallway, atrium, and pool deck—providing a convenient and splendid backdrop for the couple’s pre-nuptial shots and videos.
Refined and Exclusive Banquets: Promise to Forever Wedding Package
Beyond the preparations, Richmonde Hotel Iloilo offers an idyllic location for intimate wedding receptions that do not compromise on prestige or charm. The Intimate Wedding Package offers the perfect solution for couples seeking a more private celebration up to a maximum of 150 attendees.
Couples can choose the backdrop that best fits their love story: a sleek, temperature-controlled indoor function room, or the breezy, alfresco pool deck that overlooks the cityscape and presents a magnificent sunset view. Providing meticulous and professional assistance in planning and executing every dream wedding is the hotel’s banquet events team.
To complement the celebration, the hotel’s expert culinary team crafts an array of delectable buffet selections. The curated menu bridges cultures and flavors, featuring international dishes alongside traditional and modernized heirloom Ilonggo recipes—ensuring a feast that guests will remember for years to come.
From the first sketch of the gown to the final toast of the night, Richmonde Hotel Iloilo weaves style, heritage, and heartfelt hospitality into every detail of each wedding journey.
