Looking for a memorable, elegant, and timeless place to celebrate special life milestones? Like your child’s 1st birthday party, Baptismal reception, your child’s 7th birthday, your child’s 13th birthday, sweet 16 celebration, special debut celebration, baby shower, family reunions, birthday milestones, graduations, wedding, anniversaries, and other important events. Makati Shangri-La should be on the top of your list!
Makati Shang as we usually call it, is where I celebrated our Junior Prom back in High School. I remembered how lovely everyone looked like in there full ball gowns with medieval theme and from then on, I remembered Makati Shangri-La as an elegant and timeless classic venue for important events. Aside from its wonderful location in the middle of a commercial area in the busiest city of Manila, the staff is wonderful who will make you feel at home and welcome. It’s the experience that you’ll definitely remember.
Makati Shangri-La is the home of elegance in Makati and created endless unforgettable milestone celebrations in the past 25 years. This makes them experts in hosting events and making them memorable for you. They had the privilege of serving the grandest memorable milestones in many families’ lives. They also continue to be the top venue of choice for all celebrations because of its majestic ballrooms and the excellent level of personalized service, including specialized package inclusions, world-class food by the hotel chefs, and the seasoned events team that is ready to make celebrations memorable.
A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to take a peek on what will happen on this year’s Vows of Elegance event and these are proofs that this hotel has an eye for details and superior craftsmanship on what they do.
In partnership with Rita Neri Event Planners, Makati Shang will hold Vows of Elegance 2018 (the much anticipated showcase of the wedding and celebration industry’s crème de la crème) on September 22 to 23, 2018 in the largest and most sophisticated ballroom in Makati City!
