All love stories deserve to be celebrated. Though making it official is a deeply personal commitment for the couple, sharing this milestone with one’s dearest family and friends can multiply the joy on your special day. While planning for this momentous occasion is exciting, it is an endeavor the pandemic has made especially challenging. Luckily, more and more venues have started to offer smaller packages to abide by the IATF guidelines.
The province of Batangas is ripe for such places, whether you prefer a hillside fête or one by the water. You can still live out your dreams of an unforgettable destination wedding without having to travel too far. While health protocols must be strictly observed, your creativity and imagination should not be restricted. This is the beginning of your happily ever after and it deserves only the best, after all.
To spark inspiration, we've rounded up 7 intimate wedding venues in Batangas you should totally check out.

4. Club Ananda Model
Jasmine Maierhofer called Club Ananda "our dream wedding venue," and it’s easy to see why. You can choose to wed in either the Garden, Waterpark, or Events Hall. But if that decision is too hard, they crafted a package that allows you to use two—or all!—venues for your ceremony, cocktails, and reception. While each space carries its own distinct charm, dusk in the Waterpark will certainly entice you. Watching the sky turn into a warm pink and orange, and seeing the stars come out one by one, mirrored further by the surrounding river pool, is absolutely magical. The rental rates start at P50,000 for your intimate party of 50-80.

5. Acuatico
Who didn’t, as a little girl, practice walking down the aisle in preparation for her big day? The wedding march is an integral part of the ceremony and you’ll be hard-pressed to find an aisle more unique than what Acuatico can offer. While getting married by the shore is always an attractive option, how about making jaws drop by walking on water for your grand entrance? Their Infinity Pool has a built-in pathway suited for just this. Intimate wedding packages start at 60 pax for this beachfront property.
