As Conrad is situated at the heart of the metro, it offers unparalleled views of the world-renowned sunset at Manila Bay which sets the most romantic backdrop not only for the pictures but also for the mood of the event.

What sets the mood for a soon-to-be bride and groom other than the ocular visit to their wedding venue or the food tasting for their reception? Maybe wedding expos where organizers and suppliers showcase their majestic table settings and backdrops through small kiosks? Or bridal fashion shows where models sashay down the runway in the most beautiful wedding dresses made by the most sought-after and well-renowned fashion designers?

Conrad’s Inspired Beginnings 2019: A Bespoke Wedding Experience depicted just that in its two-day ensemble perfect for soon-to-wed couples who dream of the perfect setting for the most beautiful day of their lives.

It partnered with 40 of the city’s top wedding vendors and the biggest tablescape assembly of 12 renowned stylists.

Now on its third year, Inspired Beginnings continues to be the epitome of glamour and perfection because of Conrad’s dedicated and inspired Events Management team. Thorough and detail-oriented, they work to ensure that each couple who chooses to celebrate at the hotel will get the best and world-class experience.

Wedding talks also set Inspired Beginnings apart from other bridal events. This year, there were 12 talks, some from GMT and their venture, Ycoy Sitchon on “Thematic Big Weddings,” Christine Ong Te of COTE on “Chinese Weddings and Traditions” and celebrity Master Chef Jereme Leung for “Chinese Wedding Banquets and Trends.”

The five-star hotel also has the means when it comes to providing the perfect wedding and reception. As Conrad is situated at the heart of the metro, it offers unparalleled views of the world-renowned sunset at Manila Bay which sets the most romantic backdrop not only for the pictures but also for the mood of the event.

“Couples who allow us to be part of the special celebration should expect heartfelt and intuitive service, bespoke offerings that cater to their needs and the commitment of our Events team,” said Conrad Manila’s general manager Laurent Boisdron.

A spectacular floral vignette greeted guests upon entering the Forbes Ballroom where they soon became immersed in a whimsical setting of flowers, elegant tableware and more blooms styled by renowned event stylists Gideon Hermosa, Michael Ruiz and Teddy Manuel of GMT Ventures alongside kiosks of some of the events styling and planning industry’s most in-demand planners.

For the highly-awaited fashion show, glamorous pieces by renowned fashion designers Jo Rubio, Happy Andrada and Carina Canlas were showcased and stars like Christian Bautista and his wife, Kat Ramnani, and also, soon-to-be bride Jessy Mendiola graced the catwalk.
