THE WEDDING GALA AT CITY OF DREAMS MANILA

-

January 04, 2019 – City of Dreams Manila gathered together the country’s sought-after wedding experts including renowned fashion designer Francis Libiran; Feng

Shui Master Joseph Chau; top wedding stylists Gideon Hermosa, Michael Ruiz, and Teddy Manuel; and the luxury integrated resort’s event planners, food & beverage and culinary team for “Dream Weddings: A Wedding Gala by City of Dreams.” Directed by leading event director Robby Carmona, the gala showcases how soon-to-be wed couples can experience dreamcome-true weddings at the grand ballroom.

The elegant grand ballroom was adorned with blush-themed set-up for this by-invitation­only gala which highlighte­d a bespoke bridal collection of celebrated A-list fashion designer Libiran, whose creations are sought after by both local and internatio­nal celebritie­s and known fashion enthusiast­s. In lieu of a usual fashion catwalk, Carmona has conceptual­ized a huge tiered cake-like stage with ornately designed gazebo, setting the theatrical stage for the bridal fashion show, and a contempora­ry dance performanc­e about love and union.

The event also showcased sumptuous creations from City of Dreams Manila’s banquet and signature restaurant­s with the chefs de cuisine of Crystal Dragon, Nobu, and The Tasting Room and executive chefs who offered guests a taste of their respective specialtie­s. Each restaurant feature was expertly curated and styled in exquisite table set-ups by Hermosa, Manuel, and Ruiz who have made a mark in the industry with their exceptiona­lly tasteful and innovative take on events styling.

A primary figure in Chinese geomancy with decades of practice under his belt, Feng Shui Master Joseph Chau provided invited couples with tips on how to add harmony in their married life. TV event host and lifestyle blogger Janeena Chan hosted the wedding gala.

A fitting venue for an event that celebrates love, romance, and life-long partnershi­ps, City of Dreams Manila’s grand ballroom features an

expansive floor space crowned by noticeably exquisite ceiling glass installati­ons and mood-setting lucent lighting, evoking a sense of utmost luxury and elegance.

With a spacious seating capacity of up to 600 for a banquet and up to 900 for theater-style seating matched with the expertise of an exceptiona­l team of event planners and thoughtful staff who ensure a personaliz­ed, seamless, and memorable experience, dream-come-true celebratio­ns are made possible at this opulent venue.
