Weddings in the Philippines are not getting bigger—they’re evolving. Rather than focusing on size or tradition, couples yearn for celebrations that reflect who they are, from choosing meaningful themes to destinations that evoke their story.
Responding to this shift, Marriott International Philippines launches Where Love Takes You, its first wedding campaign in the Philippines in partnership with Let’s Celebrate founder, Marbee Shing-Go. At an exclusive watch party held at The AC Hotel by Marriott Manila on July 15, 2026, the campaign was unveiled through a gathering of esteemed wedding suppliers in the Philippines and reputable media. It champions not only Marriott International Philippines’ portfolio of hotels and its flair for remarkable encounters, but also the Philippines’ appeal as a dynamic destination to say, “I do.”
While the hospitality leader has long celebrated weddings through its hotels’ distinct offerings, Where Love Takes You marks the first endeavor to champion the Philippines as a wedding destination that rivals other countries. Beyond its venues, the brand showcases how the country’s breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culinary scene, and renowned Filipino hospitality create unforgettable celebrations and meaningful milestones. So, as a wedding expert with a longstanding credibility for making only the best gatherings happen, Marriott International Philippines sees no one but Marbee to launch the plan.
What the partnership entails
At the forefront of the campaign is the belief that love is a journey. For Marriott International Philippines, the goal is to be part of the beginning and every chapter that follows. Helping bring this vision to life is Marbee Shing-Go, who has curated countless wedding expos, uplifted local destinations and suppliers, and helped couples achieve their dream weddings.
“I have spent much of my career celebrating the people who make Philippine weddings extraordinary, so this partnership feels both personal and purposeful. It is a chance to show that love can take you to beautiful places, brilliant creatives, and hospitality that comes from the heart. For me, it is also a way of giving back to an industry I love—and to my Philippines.” Shing-Go shared.
In agreement with this, Lala Quilantang, Market Director for Sales and Distribution of Marriott International Philippines, expressed, “Marbee has long been an advocate for the Philippine wedding industry. Together, we share the same goal of upholding the country as a top-notch wedding destination and putting us on the map of world-class stops for tying the knot.”
Loyalty that goes places
Marriott Bonvoy® is Marriott International’s free loyalty program, and when it comes to weddings, the hero benefit is the continuity. When couples host weddings at participating Marriott hotels, they earn points that can be redeemed for hotel stays, dining experiences, and more. It’s a cycle that extends well beyond the big day. Picture an engagement dinner at a MICHELIN-awarded Marriott restaurant, where points earned can be used for a relaxing pre-wedding stay. Hosting the reception at a Marriott-affiliated hotel then earns couples even more points, which they can reserve for their honeymoon, anniversary getaways, or other future celebrations.
“This is precisely where our campaign is anchored—our loyalty program that extends to the most important milestones of our guests. A wedding is not only a moment where love begins, but a reminder of how far it can take you. With this initiative, we turn them into the start of a lifetime of experiences and where milestones are more rewarding,” shared JM Sequihod, Director of Field Marketing at Marriott International Philippines.
The program also creates value for planners. In every event they book and handle, they, too, earn points through Marriott Bonvoy® Events convertible into miles or Elite Night Credit. This—plus their personal stays—allows them to reach Elite Member status much faster.
Where love leads, Marriott International Hotels are there
More than picture-perfect moments, what lingers long after a wedding is what the newlyweds were made to feel. Whether they envision it in an elegant city or a romantic seaside, Marriott International has the perfect place to match their vision.
At Manila Marriott Hotel and Clark Marriott Hotel, grand celebrations come to life in aspirational settings made for unforgettable milestones. Sheraton Manila Hotel at Newport World Resort, Sheraton Manila Bay, and Sheraton Cebu Mactan Resort set the stage for heartfelt gatherings where loved ones come together beyond the occasion itself.

When loyalty meets love
“I’ve seen a lot of weddings, and with Filipinos, one thing is for sure: rain or shine, tuloy ang kasal,” said Shing-Go. Together, Marbee and Marriott International Philippines are inspiring a new generation of celebrations, where every detail is rooted in the couple’s identity and genuine hospitality. Wherever love takes them, the wedding day is just the beginning of the many more milestones worth cherishing.
The Wedding Conversations at AC Hotel by Marriott Manila was made even more memorable through the expertise of esteemed brand collaborators who brought every detail to life. The AC Grand Ballroom was beautifully transformed with elegant, delicate floral arrangements by Amelia Blossoms, the hotel’s trusted styling partner. Guests also enjoyed an elevated culinary experience with the signature mobile bar of Destileria Limtuaco & Co., Inc., the Philippines’ oldest distillery, renowned for over five generations of master blending. Adding another thoughtful touch was Buzz and Brew Manila, whose artisanal coffee cart delighted guests throughout the event. Bringing the entire experience together was the state-of-the-art audiovisual and lighting production by BK Pro Audio Visual & Lighting, creating an immersive and sophisticated atmosphere befitting the occasion.
From July 18 to 19, 2026, soon-to-be-weds can also visit the Let’s Celebrate Expo at the SPACE at One Ayala, Makati City, where Marriott Bonvoy will have a dedicated booth to share more about their packages and offerings.
