A quiet gathering in the mountains
Weddings at Work Meets Suppliers: Baguio City
It began the way good mornings in Baguio always do, slow, cool, unhurried. The sky still pale, the air filled with pine, and the light spilling softly into the halls of Frangeli House. Not a wedding day this time, but something that still carried love at its center, a gathering of stories, of the people who make those wedding days happen. This was Weddings at Work Meets Suppliers: Baguio City, the first of its kind.
By ten, the house felt alive. Couples arrived hand in hand, soft voices filling the sunroom as the first cups of coffee were poured. There was no rush, no sales pitch, no list of must-haves, only a quiet invitation to reflect. The morning talk, Understanding Wedding Prep, felt more like a conversation between kindred souls. It reminded everyone that preparing for a wedding is not just about timelines or checklists, but about the way two people begin to build a life together, how they communicate, how they decide, how they care.
It was a space for honesty. A reminder that love, when lived intentionally, doesn’t need to be performed. That the most beautiful weddings are the ones that feel like home to the people in them. Couples listened, laughed, held hands a little tighter. And in that moment, what filled the room wasn’t instruction, it was clarity.
By the afternoon, the mood shifted. The same space, now filled with forty wedding creatives, each carrying stories of their own, the quiet resilience of planners who hold chaos with grace, the artists who catch moments before they disappear, the stylists who turn visions into memories. What unfolded was not a workshop, but a gentle coming home. There was talk of boundaries and burnout, of softness and self-worth, of the delicate balance between serving others and preserving yourself. It was a reminder that the work we do is deeply human. That before we create beauty for others, we must learn to create space for ourselves. That healing and growth are not side notes in business, but the foundation of it.
Frangeli House, with its open arches and quiet gardens, held the day with grace. The light fell like a blessing through its windows; the air smelled faintly of pine and coffee. Everything felt intentional, the laughter that filled the corners, the stillness between conversations, the kindness that threaded through each exchange. It wasn’t grand, but it was whole.
And none of it would have been possible without the hearts who believed in the vision long before the day arrived.

When the day ended, no one hurried to leave. The light outside had dimmed, but the energy lingered, soft, golden, alive. Couples stayed to say thank you. Suppliers stayed to talk a little longer. It was one of those rare moments when you could feel a shift, quiet, lasting, necessary.
Leo Vidallon of Los Fabulosos
Because that’s what Weddings at Work has always been a reminder of who we are beneath the work. A place where community feels like family. A gentle nudge back to what truly matters.
Daday Limjuco of Event Alchemy
It was never just about weddings. It was about the people who make them possible. About coming home to the heart of what we do, to build from love, to create with intention, to keep choosing meaning over noise.
And perhaps, that’s the kind of work worth doing.
