Why Marry Me at Marriott continues to be the Country’s Top Bridal Show

 At Marriott Hotel Manila, a wedding is not just a business. It’s a commitment. And like a gentleman who knows how to make a lady’s heart swoon, the recently held Marry Me at Marriott showed its guests why it continues to be the country’s top bridal show. Guests were dressed to the nines and left the event gushing over the fashion, the food, and all the important details fit for a magnificent wedding!  

 A grand venue for a grand happily ever after 

Its sheer size is not the only reason why it is grand. From its facade to its impressive interiors, the Marriott Grand Ballroom is arguably the modern castle for couples who prefer a grand happily ever after. 

When guests ascended to the third floor, the hallway was lined with multi-tiered cakes, each one designed and carefully crafted by the hotel’s award-winning pastry chefs. Impressed by the well thought out design and craftsmanship, the visitors took photos then discussed why their chosen cake will not only be a centerpiece but also a conversation piece at the wedding reception.   

Tasteful menu and table set up

Cocktails were served and everyone enjoyed the refreshing beverages from Emperador Distillers and Happy Living Wines. When they followed Executive Chef Miek Brammer’s invitation to enter the country’s biggest ballroom, everyone walked into a room that seemed like a grand setting from a story book!   The floral arrangement of Michael Ruiz inspired guests of how the couple’s love bloomed. The white trees dazzled and on the long, immaculate white table are treats and savories that made guests happily eating and sharing to their heart’s content. These include salmon tartar in squid ink crispy crepe, chicken liver in port wine jelly and apple compote, chicken dinakdakan in pandan wrap, and mini baked potato with crispy pancetta in sweet and sour cream. Orange vodka spears, quail eggs benedict, and prawn cocktail in wanton chips were also served. From the Live Station, plates were filled with: gambas with parsley rice (along with lemon butter sauce, bourbon sauce, pesto, and herb butter), mashed potato with organic vegetable, emmental cheese with german bread, and gelato. Delightful desserts were also offered such as matchamisu in white passion cone, white calamansi brownie, chocolate moeulleux tart, mango caramelito,  homemade marshmallows, chocolate pretzels, chocolate clusters, wedding cupcakes, macaron tower, fresh strawberries, pralines, and truffles. 

Convenience of technology

When the lights dimmed, the pillow lights on the ceiling played an astounding display of colors. It was complemented by a romantic background music. With Marriott Grand Ballroom’s Skyfold technology, the 300-feet runway was unveiled and guests happily sat on the modern bleachers which were set up for their comfortable vantage point.  

The welcome remarks were given by Michelle Garcia, Marriott Manila’s Director of Marketing Communications. ““To the gentlemen, don’t just say “Marry Me”. Complete it by saying “Marry Me at Marriott”. And to the ladies, you will not regret the day you said yes, because it’s the start of your grand happily ever after,”” she says. 

After the applause, General Manager Bruce Winton followed suit and revealed the exciting amenities of the soon-to-open West Wing. The short AVP made guests nod, assuring them of numerous ways of dining, staying, and celebrating at Marriott Manila.   

Fourth bridal fashion, four world-class Filipino designers, and four gift certificates

On its fourth year of Marry Me at Marriott, the wedding collection of world-class Filipino designers Mark Bumarger, Francis Libiran, Ryan Madamba, and Cary Santiago were presented to the guests. More than 50 bridal gowns and suits of the models made guests busy with their digital cameras and smartphones. Each wedding collection did not disappoint and the guests couldn’t help but discuss their favorites

To add to the already fun-filled evening, four people won an overnight stay. The way Marriott Manila thought of putting the pralines in cute parachutes with a note that they won is creative yet still classy.

Love is an experience that is meant to be celebrated. So if you want your dream come true of a grand happily ever after, call (02) 988-9999 or visit manilamarriott.com.

Sprite levels up diskarte with new LeBron’s Mix

 Last July 26, 2016,  at Green Sun Hotel Makati City, Coca-Cola brings to the Philippines Sprite LeBron’s Mix, the first-ever, limited edition King James drink so you can have the NBA superstar’s diskarte in you.

Sprite now offers the new LeBron’s Mix – a combination of the crisp, refreshing lemon-lime taste of Sprite with the delicious twist of natural cherry and orange flavors. It comes in an eye-catching bold red packaging with LeBron’s initials and his iconic crown, which symbolizes his legendary nickname ‘King James.’

The relationship of Sprite with LeBron began in 2003 before the NBA player started his first professional game. A strong innovator of street culture all over the world, Sprite followed the NBA Finals MVP’s 13-year journey, collaborating with the player for new innovations to offer to the fans.

“Sprite is deeply rooted in its intense refreshment. Drinking an ice-cold Sprite clears your mind and helps you make your diskarte. In addition, the brand has always been grounded in the country’s street culture – and there is no better way to bring street culture to life here in the Philippines that with the sport that everyone loves, basketball,” says Stephan Czypionka, Vice President for Marketing of Coca-Cola Philippines.

 

During the launch, media guests, Coca-Cola partners and some sports personalities such as basketball players Jeron Teng, LA Revilla and Karl Kramer were the firsts to experience this whole new level of diskarte as they got to tag along in playing basketball inspired games like the Doble Diskarte and Spot your Diskarte Shot where they were able to win prizes. 

Others got to take home Sprite premium and limited edition items, as well. Familiar faces from the sports field added more energy as PBA courtside reporter Mara Aquino and UAAP sports commentator Boom Gonzalez hosted the event.

As Sprite continues to be a highly popular favorite among basketball players and fans, its legacy takes another step higher as NBA star player James LeBron extends his partnership with the brand.

Feel like a king or queen and diskarte like one with the new Sprite LeBron’s Mix.

Saving Money by creating and sticking to a Budget

If you are living alone or a single parent you need to be mindful of your budget, you also need to know how good spending and saving habits work. Its like living beneath your means and saving enough funds for emergency purposes. Recently I have an experience, it was a unexpected expense that made me realize the importance of saving and good money management.

 Finances are one of the biggest challenges concerns that a single father faces. That is why it is very important to me to take steps to budget my money. Sometimes when your in that stage of what we call the critical  age although I'm not that old to stop working but it so happened that I'm an early marriage failed relationship victim and  that I have a company or business that is no longer giving me enough income nowadays . I wonder what will my plans would be. As for me, all my three children are settled with their own life, already finished with their school and has a good job with their chosen profession and what else would be next thing do to is for me to create a long term plan for myself, think about  what's next to me, planning more as i get old and sticking to that certain budget. Good thing that I have a profitable rental property that I purchased long beforehand and a small house and lot inherited from my parents. It is one of the resources which I earned in a monthly basis just  to pay my bills and buy what i need in everyday living. Just to survive and see my expenses, I have my routine to take down notes of what are my needs and what is my wants. Two are different but I realize that no matter how stressful you are with everything,
 

I'm always reminded not to forget to think twice or many times before you spend what is not important I should not. Just like what Brighter life Coach Aya, Spend with a Plan...but never deprive yourself. I agree with what coach Aya said, that every long term goal starts with short term goals. Invest to enjoy life.


During the Money4Life Challenge with Brighter life coach Aya, he shares some of the retirement concerns like housing, daily expenses, emergencies in health related issues that an individual experience and funeral expenses that in reality should also be prioritized. Its important that we should be prepared and open our minds to these. I also remember him saying that it is important to track down or take note of every expense i make so i can determine which expense is not will be prioritize the next time and what is more important.

Coach Aya also share an App called WALLY. it is an app downloaded for smart phones or Iphone helps us list all our expenses, I personally tried this app and so far i has been a big help to me.
