“Say Yes” to Your Dream Wedding: Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria’s Signature Experience for Life’s Most Memorable Moments

Planning a wedding can be an exciting, albeit overwhelming, experience. For brides-to-be and wedding planners looking to create a celebration that’s as unforgettable as the love story it’s meant to honor, the right venue can make all the difference. Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria’s Say Yes: An Exclusive Wedding Fair proves to be a perfect starting point for couples envisioning a wedding that’s both grand and personalized.

On October 26, 2024, Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria hosted nearly 200 guests—including couples, media partners, and content creators—at their stunning event, aimed at re-establishing the hotel as the premier destination for weddings and milestones. Held in the heart of Ortigas, this event gave attendees an exclusive look at what makes Crowne Plaza the perfect setting for a dream wedding.

A Glimpse of a Dream Wedding

The evening began with guests gathering in the stylish foyer of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria, where they were welcomed with aperitifs and refreshments. The buzz of excitement was palpable as attendees eagerly anticipated the tour ahead.

From there, guests were led through the hotel’s grand ballroom, which had been artfully transformed into three distinct wedding themes: Western, Filipino, and Chinese. Each section of the ballroom was beautifully divided by dramatic lighting, setting the tone for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience. Models glided through the space, showcasing the elegance and charm of each theme, making it feel like a real wedding celebration. The atmosphere was both enchanting and immersive, allowing guests to fully imagine their own dream weddings in these stunning settings.

After the ballroom tour, guests were invited to explore the luxurious Penthouse Suites at Holiday Inn Manila Galleria. One suite was set up as a bridal shower, while the other was styled as a bridal room, complete with personalized touches that showcased how these versatile spaces could make a couple’s big day even more special.

The evening culminated in a dazzling wedding fashion show at the Summit Lounge, where bridal couture designs by Sidney Prez Sio, Ron Ramiro, and Jazelle Haute Amorado took center stage. The stunning pieces showcased the creativity and craftsmanship of Filipino designers, leaving guests inspired and captivated by the beauty of local bridal fashion.

A Tailored Wedding Experience

Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria’s wedding packages are designed to make every couple’s dream wedding come to life with ease. For both the bride and groom, the experience begins well before the wedding day. A stay in a One-Bedroom Suite with Club Lounge access offers a relaxing retreat, complete with breakfast in bed. The bride and groom will also enjoy a chauffeured bridal car adorned with flowers, setting the stage for a picture-perfect arrival.

The wedding day itself is filled with thoughtful touches, starting with a complimentary photoshoot at the hotel’s pool and courtyard. Couples can capture timeless moments in beautiful surroundings, creating lasting memories even before the celebration begins.

Throughout the wedding day, couples will be cared for by a dedicated personal concierge, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Crowne Plaza also offers special perks, such as a 20% discount on accommodations, floral arrangements for the newlyweds and key wedding tables, and a range of décor options including ceiling designs and stage backdrops.

A Celebration to Remember

It’s the little things that make a wedding truly unforgettable, and Crowne Plaza’s wedding packages include plenty of those. Guests will enjoy a curated set or buffet dinner, complete with one round of the hotel’s signature non-alcoholic drink. Canapés, coffee, and tea will be served during the pre-function, adding to the festive atmosphere. A three-tier fondant cake and a bottle of Moet & Chandon are included for toasts, ensuring the celebrations continue long into the night.

For entertainment, couples can choose between a string trio or a band, further personalizing their event. The hotel’s expert team will also provide a professional host, and there’s even the option for a photo booth to capture candid moments throughout the night.

A Perfect Start to Married Life

After the wedding, Crowne Plaza ensures the celebrations don’t end there. The couple is treated to a honeymoon gift: an overnight stay at Holiday Inn Manila Galleria’s luxurious Two-Bedroom Penthouse Suite. With Summit Lounge access and breakfast in bed on their first anniversary, it’s the perfect way to kick off married life.

With various options for different guest counts and themes, Crowne Plaza’s wedding packages cater to a range of needs and preferences. Whether you’re planning a more intimate gathering or a grand celebration, the hotel’s versatile venues—ranging from function rooms for 80 to grand spaces for 850—offer the perfect backdrop for your big day.

The charms of In-Room Dining at Holiday Inn Manila Galleria

The Holiday Inn Manila Galleria holds the distinction of being one of the most iconic hotels in Ortigas. It’s been around for thirty-one years, but the best thing about it is that it has recently undergone a transformative restoration, blending timeless elegance with modern functionality. The new design seamlessly balances contemporary style with a soothing ambiance, ensuring guests enjoy a sanctuary of tranquility during their stay.

Together with my foodie friends, I recently enjoyed a memorable overnight stay at Holiday Inn Manila Galleria as part of our #AWeekendThatNeverEnds experience. Our spacious 2-bedroom suite was so comfy, we were reluctant to leave its comforts, so we stayed in and ordered room service for our late-night dinner, which is quite a new experience for our group.

Our in-room dining experience

The Holiday Inn Manila Galleria boasts an expansive in-room dining menu, accessible via a QR code provided in the room. It features tasty appetizers, salads, soups, and various cuisines, including Asian, Indian, Healthy, Pizzas and Pastas, and Western.

After agreeing on getting classic Filipino comfort food for our first dinner during our staycation, we simply called up the hotel’s Food and Beverage department and placed our orders. In just a few minutes, our feast was wheeled into our room, carried by friendly and professional staff who ensured everything was perfectly set up for us. (He even gamely posed for our photos and videos!)

Given the busy day we had, we opted to eat family-style in the suite’s well-appointed dining area, clad in our plush hotel bathrobes and sleepwear for maximum comfort, sharing our Filipino food feast. Our spread included:

Salmon in Tamarind Miso Broth (Php856.31). Grilled salmon fillet and salmon head with creamy taro mash, baby red radish, and tender bok choi, immersed in flavorful tamarind miso broth, served with a side of white rice. It’s perfect for one of our group who was feeling under the weather.

Bagnet Kare-Kare (Php759.62). Crispy pork belly complemented by a rich peanut sauce, paired with summer vegetables and bagoong, served with a side of white rice. Who says you can’t enjoy this sumptuous dish while lounging in your hotel room?

Thrice-Cooked Crispy Pork Belly (Php690.57). Crispy pork crackling, atchara, and lechon sauce, served with white rice. A classic Filipino ulam that’s always a hit!

Grilled Chicken Inasal (Php376.78). Marinated grilled chicken fillet served with atchara, calamansi, and soy sauce, served with white rice.

Pancit con Chicharones (Php546.93). What can possibly beat the classic Pinoy-style stir-fried noodles and veggies topped with decadent pork crackling?

Seasonal Fresh Fruits (Php486.16). A vibrant selection of sliced local fresh fruits – pineapple, honeydew, and watermelon – for our dessert. Quite a welcome break from the usual sugar-rush we get from our usual post-meal cakes and pastries.

I can definitely say that the privacy and comfort of dining in-room are unparalleled. Unlike eating out, we could enjoy our meal in our bathrobes and jammies, chatting and laughing without any interruptions. The sheer flexibility of also allowed us to eat at our own pace, taking as long as we pleased so we can catch up and swap stories. We didn’t even have to worry about cleanup; the staff came back to take away our used plates and put leftovers in take-away boxes (because we don’t like food waste!).

Plus – and this is a big deal for us foodies! – we were so at home in our surroundings, taking our awra shots, posing with the food and all sorts of shenanigans that foodies do as they create their content, with no fear of judgement as we’re all among friends. This made our in-room dining experience all the more enjoyable.

Is in-room dining for you?

Even if you’re not part of a gaggle of food content creators like I was, you might also find in-room dining suitable in these situations:

Late Arrival or Early Departure. If you arrived late at night or are leaving early in the morning and can’t get to an open restaurant. It’s also a wise choice if you’re dealing with jet lag.
Privacy and Intimacy. If you’re part of a couple celebrating a romantic occasion, like an anniversary or honeymoon, you may prefer the privacy and intimacy of in-room dining.
Business Travelers: Traveling for work? You might need to maximize your time for meetings or work. In-room dining is a convenient option as you can eat while you work.
Families with Young Children. Parents, let’s face it: the little ones can be quite a handful, especially in restaurants, right? Dining in-room gets rid of all that stress and hassle.
Special Dietary Needs. If you have specific dietary requirements, you may find it easier to customize your meals by coordinating with the hotel’s F&B staff for your in-room dining services.
Adverse Weather or Physical Conditions. During inclement weather or if you’re not feeling well, in-room dining provides a comfortable alternative to venturing out in the rain or extreme heat.

In-room dining at the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria offered us a delightful blend of convenience, comfort, and culinary indulgence. The ability to enjoy a lavish meal in the privacy of our suite, tailored to our schedule and preferences, made our staycation truly special. If you’re planning a staycation, I highly recommend trying in-room dining to enhance your experience and live it up during your hotel stay.

A sweet suite staycation at the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria

Finding time to unwind can be challenging for busy working moms like me. That’s why the “A Weekend that Never Ends” experience was perfect for a much-needed break for me and my foodie friends. This unique concept combines relaxation at Holiday Inn with business amenities at the adjacent Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria, making it ideal for those who want to mix leisure and productivity in one seamless weekend.

Let me tell you about the start of our weekend staycation at the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria.

What you need to know about the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria

This hotel is a landmark in the Ortigas Business District. It has been part of the area’s growth for over 30 years—initially as Manila Galleria and for the past 20 years under the Holiday Inn brand under management of the Intercontinental Hotels Group. Its prime location is a significant advantage, situated just 500 meters from the Ortigas MRT station and directly connected to Robinsons Galleria Mall. This connection offers easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, making it a convenient choice for both business travelers and tourists.

A Weekend that Never Ends

The “A Weekend that Never Ends” concept offers a seamless blend of leisure and business, designed for guests who want to make the most out of their weekends. The brighter side of travel begins at the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria, where guests can unwind and enjoy various amenities. As the weekend transitions into the workweek, the fun continues at the Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria.

Whether it’s enjoying the luxurious accommodations and dining options at the Holiday Inn or utilizing the professional meeting spaces and business services at the Crowne Plaza, the “Weekend that Never Ends” ensures a balanced and fulfilling stay.

The Suite Experience

Our stay was in a newly refreshed two-bedroom suite overlooking ADB Avenue. The suite was fully air-conditioned and had high-speed Wi-Fi, ensuring comfort and connectivity. The main bedroom featured a queen bed with an ensuite bathroom, complete with a marble bathtub, walk-in shower, and toilet.

The second bedroom had two single beds and a separate bathroom with a walk-in shower and toilet. Essential toiletries like hand and body soap, lotion, shampoo, and conditioner were provided, with additional items available upon request to support IHG’s sustainability initiatives.

The beds were incredibly comfortable, dressed in fresh, crisp white linens and provided with a selection of soft and firm pillows. It was tempting to stay in bed all day, thanks to their plush comfort.

The living room was spacious, with an L-shaped sofa, a couch, a LED TV, and a desk workspace equipped with a phone. The small galley kitchen had a faucet and a mini-refrigerator, while the dining area could seat six, making it perfect for in-room dining for a small group.

Dining Options

For dinner on our first night, we preferred to have a late meal and stay in the comfort of our room. Fortunately the hotel offers 24/7 room service with a menu accessible via a QR code that features a wide range of tasty appetizers, salads, soups, and cuisines, including Asian, Indian, healthy options, pizzas, pastas, and traditional Filipino dishes. This convenience allowed us to enjoy our delicious dinner in privacy and freedom without leaving our suite.

We had our morning meal at the hotel’s FAB restaurant, which is open daily for breakfast from 6 am to 10 am. Its buffet spread included freshly baked bread and pastries, local favorites like puto, taho, tuyo, and dilis, as well as pancakes, French toast, eggs cooked to order, sausages, crispy bacon, vegetarian options, salads, cold cuts, fresh fruits, and yogurt. The variety and quality of the food were impressive, catering to all tastes and preferences.

We also had exclusive access to the Summit Lounge, where we enjoyed complimentary bites during afternoon tea while enjoying the view.

Activities and Amenities

One of the highlights of our stay was the easy access to various activities and amenities. The 24/7 fitness center and outdoor swimming pool provided great options for staying active and relaxing.

The direct connection to Robinsons Galleria Mall was particularly convenient. I managed to do some window-shopping there. Although we didn’t have time for them, other activities that can be enjoyed nearby include a visit to the historic EDSA Shrine and outdoor walking and biking during No-Car Sunday along Emerald Avenue.

General Experience

The hotel staff at the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria were exceptional. They were friendly, helpful, and prompt in responding to our requests. Many were even willing to pose for pictures and take group shots for our social media posts, adding a personal touch to our stay.

The overall atmosphere of the hotel was welcoming and relaxing. Our suite was a comfortable haven where we could unwind, chat, and enjoy each other’s company. The combination of the luxurious suite, excellent dining options, and convenient amenities made our staycation truly enjoyable.

I would rate my staycation experience at the Holiday Inn Manila Galleria as top-notch. The comfortable suite, delicious food, and excellent service made it a memorable weekend, especially because I shared it with my foodie friends. The “Weekend that Never Ends” concept is also perfect for busy working moms like me who want to enjoy relaxing family time and then seamlessly transition to re-energized work productivity, all within one weekend.
