Introducing the much-anticipated return of the renowned campaign, Marriott Moments, this year promises to be even more spectacular with the captivating theme, “Paving the Path to Unforgettable Moments.” The event merges two extraordinary occasions: the second season of “Marriott Moments A-Fair” and the 9th edition of “Marry Me at Marriott.” Together, they create an immersive experience that ignites a lifetime of winning moments while showcasing a captivating collection of art pieces that reflect the most heartfelt instances in life.
In 2022, “Marry Me at Marriott” became an integral part of the highly acclaimed “Marriott Moments” campaign, which aimed to infuse greater significance into this initiative. Recognizing the pivotal role that the Marriott brand, along with its ever-expanding presence through a multitude of hotel brands in the Philippines, plays in driving the hospitality, wedding, and events industries to unprecedented heights, the campaign aimed to highlight the most revered fashion designers such as Ezra Santos, Rhett Eala, Albert Andrada, Val Taguba, Jaggy Glarino, as well as emerging talents like Jezelle Amorado. Moreover, it provided an exceptional platform for wedding and events suppliers to showcase their boundless creativity and remarkable capabilities.
Unparalleled rewards with Marriott Bonvoy
The highly anticipated Marriott Moments of this year was proudly presented by Marriott Bonvoy, the largest global travel and lifestyle program, reaffirming the brand’s commitment to providing its members with greater opportunities to connect and indulge in what they love. With a remarkable portfolio of seven operational Marriott properties in the Philippines, two more set to open before the year concludes, and numerous future plans in the pipeline, Marriott Bonvoy strives to deliver boundless memorable experiences. With an expansive collection of 31 hotel brands and over 8,500+ locations worldwide, Marriott Bonvoy ensures that every member has access to a vast array of options, enabling them to create countless winning moments.
The Marriott Moments Campaign
The campaign seamlessly integrates three key components: Online, On Ground, and On Stage, each contributing to the creation of unforgettable moments that transcend time. In an effort to foster knowledge sharing across various disciplines, the campaign organized a capacity building seminar at COLLAB, Sheraton Manila Hotel in February. Moreover, the recently concluded Marriott Moments Culinary Arts Conference brought together 20 chefs from 9 Marriott properties in the Philippines, marking the largest gathering of culinary arts experts in the country’s Marriott history.
Online engagement remains a crucial aspect of the campaign, with the continuation of the #MYMarriottMoments series on the hotel’s official YouTube channel, known as My Favorite Travel Channel (MyFTC). This ongoing series features real people sharing their cherished experiences held at Marriott Hotel Manila, further amplifying the campaign’s online presence.
The On Ground component showcases the highly anticipated “Marriott Moments A-Fair,” a platform that highlights top-notch wedding and event suppliers. Curated by COTE Events, the fair presents a range of specialty booths, where renowned suppliers like Tiger Weddings and Events by Tiger Lim, EventStyles by Kathy Sy-King, Kyno Kho Flowers and Events, Stan Creative Designs, Miel’s Flowershoppe and Event Styling, 2171 Floral Creations, and Concept+Design by Pio Herras showcase their expertise, spanning from birthdays to anniversaries.
On the grand stage, the 9th edition of “Marry Me at Marriott” takes center stage, featuring six celebrated designers. This includes the much-anticipated homecoming of Ezra Santos, a Filipino designer based in the United Arab Emirates and a prominent fashion figure in the Middle East, reuniting with Val Taguba as close friends. The event also showcases the contrasting coexistence of Rhett Eala and Jaggy Glarino, blending classic and contemporary experiences, as well as the harmonious collaboration between Albert Andrada and Jezelle Amorado, where mentorship and gratitude come to fruition.
A gastronomic winning moment
The Executive Chef of Marriott Hotel Manila’s esteemed culinary arts team, Chef Meik “The Big Chef” Brammer, emphasizes that regardless of the Marriott property you choose for your vacation or special celebrations, you are guaranteed to experience the winning moments you truly deserve. With an unwavering commitment to excellence and a passion for crafting memorable dishes suitable for all occasions, every Marriott hotel strives to deliver that extraordinary moment that leaves a lasting impression.
Indulging in the theme and the enchanting venue, the culinary team took their winning moment to new heights with a delightful dessert garden featuring delectable creations like Strawberry Fields, Chocolate Davao, London Fog, “Burnt” Basque Cheesecake, and Churros de Davao.
As magnificent as the event itself, nine towering cakes took center stage, all masterfully crafted by the culinary team of Manila Marriott Hotel. Eight of these cakes were beautifully themed, while the Grand Marriott Moments Cake held special surprises for the first 300 guests. The prizes ranged from exclusive Food and Beverage and Room vouchers from the nine Marriott properties to unique gift items from our esteemed partners such as Perfume Dessert, Jergens, Caronia, and Liese.
