An Intimate & Romantic Loboc River Wedding Cruise

For adventurous couples who are planning a destination wedding in a tropical island setting, what could be more romantic and unique than the Loboc River Wedding Cruise in Loboc, Bohol? 

Get ready for your most romantic & intimate wedding as you are joined by family and a select group of friends who will witness your exchange of lifetime vows on board a quaint & charming floating restaurant that has been turned into an enchanting venue for your most romantic moment while you cruise along the river's emerald waters and admiring the lush verdant foliage that  surrounds the place. 

The concept behind the Loboc River Wedding Cruise is giving the couple and their guests a unique Boholano experience that is an homage to the spirit of Kumbira, a revered tradition which means feast or celebration.

The word kumbira comes from the Spanish word convidar which literally means "to invite".

The result is a feast for the senses and a union of collaborative ideas that meshes the old & new, the traditional and the contemporary. All that is needed is a sense of adventure and off you go.

Soak in a very memorable wedding experience that incorporates the uniqueness of a traditional Boholano wedding through its songs, dances, flavors, colors and textures

Among the irresistible come ons are the Kuradang, a traditional Boholano courtship folk dance, medley of Boholano ditties, a feast of Boholano culinary favor 8ites. 

The Loboc River Wedding Cruise was one of four Bohol destinations that presented wedding & debut concepts that highlight Bohol's beauty, creativity & uniqueness. 

Joining the Department of Tourism- Philippines represented by Riza Macaibay in the three- day activity was Themes & Motifs, the country's premier organizer of the most successful series of bridal fairs and special events expos that bring together the most comprehensive & most respected wedding & event professionals from the Philippines and beyond.

Dodjie & Sharon Fabian of Themes & Motifs were joined by renowned designer Francis Libiran, topnotch event director Marex Gaba,  much sought after photographer Lito Sy,  Davao’s top wedding planner Elinor Marcelino and PR & marketing consultant Harry Hartmann. The group fine tuned the presentation with inputs and recommendations then followed the capacity- building activity with a whole-day workshop on event management, event hosting and styling held at Moadto Resort in Panglao.

BOFETTO (Bohol's Federation of Travel & Tour Operators) oversaw the project in collaboration with BES.Ph (Bohol Event Suppliers PH), Bohol's biggest aggrupation of event planners & suppliers which benefited immensely from the activity that aims to  make Bohol as a premier wedding destination & prenup/ pre-debut photoshoot capital.

Congratulations to BES.Ph President Chan Chan Wallace and to the mother-daughter tandem of Lourdes Sultan of Travel Village Tours & Travel & Christina Sultan for exceeding expectations from the lovely Amore Cruise Boats, the delectable culinary faves and all the way to the preparations.
