Our Wedding at Los Balcones, Tali Beach

Since young, Tracy had been dreaming of a beach wedding. We exerted too much effort in finding perfect place where we are going to hold it. Inquiry here, ocular there; until, at last we found this place on line. We visited the place twice prior to our wedding, just to make sure if that's where we really wanted.

Los Balcones, a private resort in Tali Beach, Nasugbu, Batangas. A lovely and relaxing place, overlooking South China sea.

August 9, 2010, the day both of us been waiting for. We left home at 5am together with our families and friends. We arrived Los Balcones at around 9am. It's quite far from home but extremely worth waiting.

Catering service was already there and started setting up. Mr. Ike Gangoso, our contact person was even there to support us and made sure everything is in place. Everyone was busy preparing and we don't what's happening, up until 4pm. We stated the ceremony at the second floor and 6pm dinner/reception at the garden area.

We, together with our immediate family stayed for over night. Rooms are very comfortable and large enough to accommodate us all.

The morning after, unexpectedly, resort staffs prepared breakfast for us (longanisa, egg and rice). Right after eating, we jumped over the pool and enjoyed. We left the place before lunch. Surely we are going to miss this place.
