MARRY Me at Marriott 2016, easily the biggest wedding event of the year, happened last July 19 at the Marriott Grand Ballroom of Marriott Hotel Manila, the biggest, grandest ballroom in the country.
The fabulous fashion show highlighted the exquisite creations of top Philippine designers Mark Bumgarner, Francis Libiran, Ryan Madamba and Cary Santiago – four talented couturiers coinciding with the fourth year of the exquisitely beautiful annual event that never fails to thrill couples looking forward to make their wedding dreams come true and to celebrate forever


Bumgarner’s sleek silhouettes concluded with top mannequin Joey Mead-King and Miss Universe-Philippines Maxine Medina that elicited cheers from the audience.  


Francis Libiran’s opening salvo was Miss Universe 2010 4th runner-up Venus with Bb. Pilipinas International Kylie Verzosa and sultry actress Arci Muñoz as his finale duo.
Ryan Madamba showcased ultra-feminine lines while award-winning Cebu designer Cary Santiago displayed seamless perfection with three spectacular emsembles worn by Miss World 2011 1st runner-up Gwen Ruais, Miss Intercontinental 2015 1st runner-up Christi McGarry and Filipino-Korean beauty Cassandra Naidas. 


The ballroom’s opulent interiors and innovative technology, including 176 adjustable pillow lights, adjustable ceiling height, and the skyfold panel that slowly revealed the stage at the holding area for cocktails, added to the luxurious thrills that awaited the guests.
The grand cocktails that preceded the show were overseen by executive chef Meik Brammer with opulent servings of Chinese pork knuckles with jelly fish and bean curd skin rolls, a live station of a wide pan of gambas with parsley rice and mouthwatering dessert choices. 


Marriott Hotel Manila’s general manager Bruce Winton and communications director Michelle Garcia opened the event by welcoming the guests for the grand show that was interspersed with entertainment numbers from the cast of Resorts World Manila’s musical play ‘Annie.”
With iconic fashion director Robbi Carmona at the helm of the show, it could not be anything but exciting, grand and exquisitely beautiful.
