HILTON Manila welcomes all couples to the much-awaited return of “Ever After.” The sophisticated urban oasis has partnered with some of the wedding industry’s stylists, planners and suppliers; and offers a unique pet-friendly package to bring their furry friend red-letter day.
John Lucas, the hotel’s general manager, said they have a dedicated wedding specialist and offer unique services and facilities. Its partners provide more than a service and a whole opportunity for customers to relax and be assured that there are professionals looking after the special day for them.
Lucas also said the whole idea behind bringing their furry friend is an acknowledgement that pets are part of everyone’s day-to-day life. “Many people have pets that are treated like children. They can be ring bearers, sitting up on stage, and being involved in the event.”
He added that what makes the hotel such a great wedding venue is its dedicated wedding service that provides dedicated one-on-one focus. The hotel’s team is on hand to guide couples through each step, up to the big day itself.
In a month, the hotel usually averages 10 to 12 wedding events. “Our spaces are completely changeable; from one day to the next, it can transform one particular style of wedding to a completely different look and feel,” Lucan noted.
“The hotel’s wedding packages start from something very elementary to an absolute spectacular with 400 people. The very simple beginning or the very elegant end — there is plenty in between as well,” he said.
“We can give them recommendations and organize all of that for them, and that just takes away so much of the relief, thus giving them comfort from beginning to end,” he stressed.
“We are so flexible at what we do,” he noted. Inside, there are suites that the couples can use for their pre-wedding planning with their team, to get ready for their event, and then have their night together afterwards.
The wedding industry’s finest are Kutchie Zaldarriaga of Getting Married Philippines, Dave Sandoval, Amady Manila, Pose and Print, Team Benitez Photo, Manila Craft, Hearts and Bells, Cupcakes Bakery, Frigora Acoustic, Jo Rubio, and Boy Kastner Santos, among others.
In partnership with Kiss The Girl Events, the wedding spectacle featured an Open House: Weddings Preparation Tour, Pet-friendly Events Spaces with pet photoshoot, food tasting, and a showcase of Hilton Manila’s pet ambassadors. A mouthwatering selection of western and Chinese banquet menus was presented by the hotel’s new executive chef, Ryan Hong.
