CASTLE IN THE CITY

Celebrate your landmark moment and sneak off into a gateway where nostalgia and history come together for your special day

- By ANGELO RAMIREZ DE CARTAGENA

There isn’t anything more intrinsic to the festive Filipino culture than a celebrator­y gathering. Whether it be a union of souls for a wedding, a young woman’s coming-of-age, or perhaps a yearly gathering of families across generation­s old and new, count on it to be made into a big deal where every little detail isn’t left unturned. This cultural scrutiny has become a rigor for revelry, ensuring that everyone has nothing but a good time with a trove of memories to last them well into a lifetime.

Needless to say, spaces where every form of kinship can converge and celebrate are of the essence. More than just real estate, areas of this sort have to offer something more, which will not only prove lucrative but memorable for the guests. Honoring this code since its inception, La Castellana offers more than what you deserve.

More than its ability to whisk one away to another space and time, this one being

a nostalgic and most importantl­y, historic era in time. With its Spanish-inspired architectu­re and interiors, one that is seemingly almost perpetuall­y washed in a warm sepia tone akin to the climate of Spain, La Castellana is a portal to a world where the past and present meld to give way to a most fruitful future.

Entering the enclave, one is greeted by El Jardin De La Luz, its courtyard that is a veritable respite with its eye-catching cloverleaf fountain and verdant mix of tropical plants. Cast your eyes further and you will catch sight of Patio Domingo, a veranda that overlooks the grand ballroom, as well as of the festivitie­s in place. Once the sun starts to dip beyond the horizon, this is the best spot to be at as you get an incomparab­le view of the city’s famed sunset, framed no less by dome and belfry of the Manila Cathedral.

Further along, the elegance becomes paramount as you take a stroll along the polished floors of La Castellana’s grand foyer, where the amber crystal chandelier takes prominence over the impressive Salon De Joaquin Ballroom. A place marked by many new beginnings, the ballroom plays host to weddings, debuts, anniversar­ies, and other significan­t occasions, where guests are treated to a sweeping backdrop of graceful arches, draped delicate fabric, and pockets of garden for more intimate get-togethers.

Your social gathering and overall experience is of utmost importance, which is why the most capable team of La Castellana is more than willing to lend their invaluable skills in handling everything from elaborate client and supplier requiremen­ts to catering, with its dedicated kitchen for high-grade on-site food preparatio­ns. This sets them apart, further illustrati­ng its commitment to provide personaliz­ed, hands-on service that is both nurturing and understand­ing to diverse cultures and customs.

Entrusting your experience of a lifetime is reason enough for La Castellana to guarantee that the milestone be instated among your life’s tapestry of memories, meticulous­ly woven with the threads that make up your life. With its utmost attention to every detail and demand, your merriment is taken to a whole new level of service, pledging a dream turning into reality—nothing more and especially nothing less for your landmark moment in time.
