We want to make couples to understand that it is an exceptional day for them to come and experience the hospitality, comfort, and splendid experience of Tatiana; the latest Festac attraction”.
“Act two is that there is also going to be some colourful decorations, in-house photographer to give them picture-perfect snaps so that they can have those memories for keep.
“The final act is couples’ games to make the occasion fun-filled. The essence is to take couples out of their comfort zones, and remind them of how they started their relationship. “We noticed that, sometimes, due to workload and family pressures, couples forget that they were once young, and in courtship. The show will reenact those memories; when they used to lick ice creams, hangout, and visit the beach.
