Marriott International Philippines has launched “Where Love Takes You,” its first nationwide wedding campaign, positioning the Philippines as a premier destination for weddings while highlighting the group’s portfolio of hotels and the benefits of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program.
The campaign was officially unveiled during an exclusive watch party at AC Hotel by Marriott Manila on July 15, bringing together wedding suppliers, industry partners, and members of the media.
Developed in partnership with Let’s Celebrate founder and wedding expert Marbee Shing-Go, the campaign reflects changing wedding preferences among Filipino couples, who are increasingly seeking personalized celebrations that showcase their stories rather than traditional or grand-scale events.
Celebrating the Philippines as a wedding destination
While Marriott International has long hosted weddings across its properties, Where Love Takes You marks the hospitality group’s first campaign focused on promoting the Philippines itself as a world-class wedding destination.
The initiative highlights the country’s scenic landscapes, diverse culinary experiences, and renowned Filipino hospitality as key elements that make local weddings memorable for both couples and guests.
“I have spent much of my career celebrating the people who make Philippine weddings extraordinary, so this partnership feels both personal and purposeful,” Shing-Go said.
She added that the collaboration provides an opportunity to showcase the country’s creative wedding industry while supporting local destinations and suppliers.
Lala Quilantang, Market Director for Sales and Distribution of Marriott International Philippines, said the partnership aligns with Marriott’s goal of elevating the country’s reputation as a premier location for destination weddings.
Weddings that continue beyond the celebration
Central to the campaign is Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s loyalty program, which allows couples to earn points when they celebrate their weddings at participating Marriott properties.
These points may be redeemed for hotel stays, dining experiences, honeymoon trips, anniversary vacations, and other future celebrations, extending the value of the wedding beyond the event itself.
According to JM Sequihod, Director of Field Marketing at Marriott International Philippines, the campaign is built around creating lasting relationships with guests through rewarding life’s major milestones.
Wedding planners also benefit through Marriott Bonvoy Events, allowing them to earn points that can be converted into travel miles or Elite Night Credits while accelerating their membership status.
