10 Stunning Wedding Venues in Manila for a Fuss-Free Ceremony
Everyone wants to be surrounded with breathtaking views on their wedding day. If you scroll through your Instagram feed regularly, you’d probably think that the only way to have the scenery you’ve always envisioned is to plan a romantic outing away from the bustles of Metro Manila. True enough, the country is filled with dazzling islands and beaches, but it can get quite impractical due to budget and weather conditions.
This does not mean you need to sacrifice your happiness for practicality. If you don’t want to stray too far to find the perfect place, Metro Manila still has a lot of gems to offer. Behind all the smoke and traffic, the city gives home to many architectural treasures, avant-garde event spaces, and even nature-filled parks. So if you’re looking for a big city wedding, here are some places you need to check out.
White Space Manila

What’s great about Light of Love is that it has spaces created exactly for weddings. As you can deduce from the name, this place located in Quezon City is just romantic. They have a lot of different spaces for different weddings. We recommend looking into the Atrium, an enclosed space with a glass ceiling to go stargazing minus the bugs! We also recommend the open garden filled with lush greens and Tangled-esque lanterns.

For an adventurous couple, the Manila Ocean Park is a fun choice to hold a wedding. Why go to the beach when you can surround yourself with a glimpse of the ocean? Just like the park, their function rooms have aquariums that will make you feel like you said “I do” at the bottom of the ocean. Is that a fun story to tell your future kids? Of course, this brilliantly unusual venue comes with a price. For P298,000, the park’s H2O Hotel function room can seat 500 guests.

The mansion also has a fantastic fountain backdrop for group photos.
