Marry Me at Marriott

MANILA, Philippines — On its 5th year, Manila Marriott Hotel proved once again its commitment to making grand weddings come to life. Just when you thought you’d seen it all, the hotel left everyone in awe of the many tricks it was able to pull up its sleeves.
The opening was a certified showstopper: a chic Mercedes Benz SLC bridal car drove down the runway, portraying how every Marriott wedding could start with a grand entrance. Even the last to strut down was a sleek Mercedes Benz SLC convertible driven by the dapper Alden Richards.
The grand experience began right upon arrival. Guests were dropped off at the West Wing, the newest expansion development that adds 228 premium rooms and suites. Then, they were ushered to the Skybridge, the modern connection between the Main Hotel, West Wing and Marriott Grand Ballroom. Marriott wedding cakes lined up at the Skybridge; each made with fondant, delicately handpainted and embellished with edible pastillage.
The fragrance of fresh flowers welcomed guests at the Marriott Grand Ballroom where all seats are prime with 3ft-by-8ft rise panels creating eight-row bleachers to provide the thousand guests with an unobstructed view of the show.
To end the night, four winners won a “happily ever after” moment as they got the most coveted staycation in Marriott’s 261sqm Chairman Suite at the new West Wing.
Manila Marriott Hotel holds this annual event to give a tease on how committed they are to making weddings grand in every way.
