City Garden Hotel

When a couple begins planning their wedding, one of the first things they look for are their ceremony and reception venues. Oftentimes, couples experience a dilemma in prioritizing between these Philippine wedding reception venues, if they intend to hold them in two different places. Normally, couples choose their wedding reception venue based on its proximity to their ceremony venue. However, it may not be able to address their needs and budget. Therefore, they end up choosing venues that are too far from each other, forcing them to increase their budget. Logistics issues suddenly add more stress to the couple.

City Garden Hotel

City Garden Suites Manila, one of the most affordable hotels, saves soon-to-wed couples from such additional headache. It offers couples a wedding preparation, ceremony, and reception venue that is conveniently located within Manila’s commercial and business establishments. What's more, their facilities and Philippine wedding packages exhibit excellent combination of affordability and luxury, something newlywed couples truly deserve.

Welcome to the 'Garden'
Established in 1992, City Garden Suites is one of the most preferred Standard Class Manila hotels for Philippine wedding receptions. Located at the heart of Ermita, it is very near to known Catholic churches in Manila City. The nearest is the Nuestra Senora de Guia, popularly known as Ermita Church. The Our Lady of Remedies Parish (Malate Catholic Church), and St. Pancratius Chapel (Paco Park Church) are less than 10 minutes away. Two other popular churches for wedding, the San Agustin Church and the Manila Cathedral, are just fifteen minutes away from the hotel.

The hotel has three elegant function rooms named after exotic flowers – Lily, Lilac, and Lavender – that can accommodate up to 50 persons, which make them perfect for intimate affairs. Lily and Lavander, when combined, can accommodate up to 100 persons. The more spacious Lilac can serve as a makeshift ceremony venue. The Lotus Grand Ballroom is the three function rooms combined. It can host a wedding reception with a maximum of 200 guests.
