Iloilo is a city steeped in colonial history and renowned for its gastronomic culture. Its tree‑lined avenues and stately mansions provide elegant settings for events, while its reputation as the “City of Love” makes it a romantic destination for weddings and anniversaries. For planners, Iloilo offers both sophistication and warmth.

Casa Real de Iloilo is a restored provincial capitol building that now serves as a prestigious events venue. Its grand halls, adorned with historic details, are perfect for cultural galas, regional conferences and heritage‑themed banquets. Smaller gatherings find a home at Molo Mansion, where landscaped gardens and art‑filled rooms create intimate settings for product launches, VIP dinners or creative workshops.

Planners often integrate heritage walks through the Molo District and along the Iloilo Esplanade, where delegates enjoy river views, local art installations and street food. Culinary experiences are essential: tasting La Paz Batchoy at its birthplace, savouring seafood at seaside restaurants, or enjoying desserts from Iloilo’s famed pastry shops. These flavours often feature in event menus, adding authenticity and delight.

Accessibility through Iloilo International Airport makes multi‑day events easy to arrange. Delegates can spend mornings in formal sessions and afternoons visiting nearby churches or museums. Iloilo’s warmth, evident in its hospitality and rich culture, ensures that every event is memorable, whether it’s a conference, a destination wedding or a culinary‑themed incentive.
