Destination Wedding

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”


Wedding favors are especially crucial at destination weddings. Make sure there is something nice awaiting your guests in their rooms when they arrive. Give all guests a detailed schedule of the proceedings, along with a list of things they can do on their own time. All these and more are what stressfully bother a couple when deciding to do a destination wedding.

It is never easy to do a wedding destination. The heavy weight is put so much on the shoulders of a coordinator to execute, if not hassle-free, but at least a smooth flowing destination event.

How could this even become possible if the bride herself is a wedding coordinator and if a groom is an event photographer?

Everybody knows how crucial it is to plan, execute and coordinate an event especially when it is done out of town. Doing such destination event gives so much worries and gives no assurance of the Weather Condition, food, outsource suppliers, logistics, financial resources, manpower, accommodation, transportation.

Fret no more because this couple, who both happen to work in the events industry, was able to pull off a destination wedding of their own, mind you not of other couple, but their own dream wedding.

The Event Photographer

Mrs. Jenica Solamillo-Francisco is a wedding and event planner and coordinator and Mr. Ferdinand Francisco, is an event photographer, who are both based in Zamboanga City, had decided to do their wedding outside of the city with over a hundred family,

The laid-back themed wedding was held at the breath-taking and refreshing Dakak Resort in Dapitan City last January 25, 2023. Local suppliers from Zamboanga City and Dapitan City came together and collaborated to materialize the dream wedding of the couple who only had one thing in mind and that was to give only meaningful and great memories to their dearest family members, relatives and closest friends.

The Wedding Ceremony

The Wedding Ceremony was held at the Dakak Resort Chapel which gave an old and vintage feels and indeed every corner of the place was picture perfect as it obviously appeared in all social media posts and uploads from the attending guests.

The Wedding Reception

The reception happened at the beach front which added more color and fun to the whole celebration. Guests surely enjoyed all its perks such as drum beaters that welcomed all arriving guests, welcome treats, mobile bar that served variety of mocktails and cocktails, video booth that has become a breath-of-fresh-air at that moment, jaw-dropping fire dance performance from the locals of Dapitan City and acoustic band that joyfully entertained everyone with soulful and upbeat songs. The event truly had never had dull moments because the couple made sure that that guests will bring home fun memories with them to remember when they go back home.

The wedding celebration culminated with an eye-popping firework display which certainly made everyone thinks that the wedding they attended was the best after all. Over all, we experienced a different kind of wedding, not an ordinary wedding we normally witness, because this wedding highlighted not the couple themselves, but as the couple would clearly emphasize, that the everyone in the wedding must be the center of the event which the couple ultimately achieved at the end of the day.
