BAGUIO COUNTRY CLUB
July 31 - August 1, 2009
Driving to Baguio on a pay day Friday -- not the best idea. The long ride turned out to be a loooooooooooooooong ride! Felt like most of our weekend was spent in the car, but like all road trips, the company makes up for the distance. From 3PM - 10PM, we drive all the way up to Baguio -- through rain and fog and desperate bathroom breaks we make it to the top. I must admit, the way up was beautiful! For a few kilometers, the new SCTEX fools you to believing you are in another country (that's according to Eyebrows, cuz apparently, I slept through it... boo). Added plus, you get to see the BIGGEST RESTAURANT IN THE WORLD! According to Eyebrows -- it'll show up if you wiki it! Whatever. But I agree, its a must see :)
Baguio holds a special place for Eyebrows and I as kids. For Eyebrows its out of town memories with the golf crew and bonding with his Dad over a good round of golf. It's a reminder of family time and fun, relaxing, and chill times. For me Baguio is memories of my Dad, of plums and strawberries at the Hyatt and riding Princess my horse around CJH. Its distinct reminders of my family when it was just Dad, Mom and I. Anyway...... enough memories down childhood lane...
Next day -- Saturday was Baguio ocular day! After a awesome breakfast of tiny fluffy pancakes (yum yum!), we head down to the events office of BAGUIO COUNTRY CLUB.
Wedding Ceremony: If the weather permits there's a beautiful putting green overlooking a ridge of trees where you can get married. Its quaint and gives off a very "woody" feel. And, theres a decent plan B. If it rains, not all is lost.
Wedding Cocktails: The ballroom has a receiving room that can act as the registration as well as the cocktail area. Its quite close to the ceremony location and is in decent condition. Only thing I dont really like is that it's looks a bit old fashioned. Doesnt really go with the elegant romantic theme I envision. But considering all factors. this is the current top 1 of all the places we've visited.
Wedding Reception: The only place they had was the ballroom. It's newly renovated so in good condition. Lot's of wood -- and huge top to bottom glass windows! Beautiful actually! It looked very "earthy". Only thing was... it had these antlers for chandeliers. Ummmm... yeah, gotta find a way to hide those.
Lodging: The top seller of this place was the lodging. Just across the street was an array of cabins for rent! And at the very peak, was a newly developed cabin -- modern and still smelling of fresh wood! We could just imagine renting cabins for all our guests and enjoying the company!!!
All in all, BCC was a possible workable choice. Far -- yes, but fun nonetheless! Gotta admit though, I wasnt 100% about it. But it held its spot somewhere at the top.
