What draws a couple to the Filipinana aesthetic aside from the traditional Barong Tagalog and Maria Clara fashion? It’s the certain refinement that comes with bringing back the golden days of Manila–the time when Philippine culture was thick and distinct, and when buildings looked like art pieces. For couples to successfully turn back time and experience the glamour of what was, wedding planning should start from finding a venue that carries rich history, showcase art, and celebrates the best version of the Filipino spirit.
A top-of-mind venue is Palacio de Memoria. It’s a restored heritage home that holds centuries worth of history and has a grand interior and exterior that will surely satiate a couple’s love for the arts. Here’s why you should check it out!
Palacio de Memoria was built in the 1930s during the American colonial period. Through time, the estate was transformed from being a two-floor private home, a temporary Polo Club, a five-story mansion with a clinic, to now an events venue that celebrates culture and the arts. With the current owners having a keen eye for details and an exquisite vision for one of the last remaining homes with this kind of history, Palacio de Memoria is restored and developed into what it is now—a home for anything beautiful–and that includes your unique wedding story.
When you go around the estate, you’ll see well-curated European and Asian pieces that will elevate your Filipinana wedding theme. It has an indoor and outdoor venue options that can cater to an intimate party for your selected few or if you prefer, your long list of guests are welcome, too.
Since Palacio de Memoria is a private estate, you’re sure that you’ll have exclusivity of the venue at your reserved time. This will give you the peace of mind that your guests are safe and that you can execute all the plans that you want for your special day! The numerous venue options available also allow you to plan both your ceremony and reception party within the estate, making it easier for you, your suppliers, and your guests. This gem of a venue is located along Roxas Boulevard in Paranaque City.
Palacio de Memoria’s story started many years ago but because of its beauty, resiliency, and new found purpose, it gives couples a venue to make new memories and to add to its narrative. The estate’s charm doesn’t just lie in its rich history, but also in the endless possibility it offers. Beauty, resiliency, and love are the very ingredients that keep the Filipino spirit alive in this venue.
