Have you heard of the Three-Day Wedding trend? A three-day wedding itinerary is typical for destination celebrations that require you to travel so you can make the most out of the trip. It usually consists of a welcome lunch or dinner, the wedding day itself, and a day after the wedding brunch or a tour of the locale you’re in. It’s like turning your wedding into a vacation!
You might be wondering: Why invest time and resources for a celebration that lasts three days? Well, extending the festivities beyond “the big day” allows you to spend more precious time with your guests, especially those who will be flying in from another country or province. It heightens the celebratory mood, creates lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for what a special milestone this is that you are welcoming.
Now, what if we tell you that you don’t need to go abroad to have a spectacular three-day wedding experience? You can do so right within Metro Manila! We collaborated with Gallery MiraNila by The Blue Leaf for tips on how to have a wedding experience across three days. We’ll give you all the tips and details as you keep reading. Go on.
Through Gallery MiraNila’s Estate to Yourself offering, you can have a three-day celebration that already has everything: Venue, accommodations, dining, and activities. All within the comforts of a private estate, exclusively yours just for your wedding. So, what does a three-day wedding itinerary in Metro Manila look like exactly? Here’s a simple guide:
Tip: A despedida de soltera to celebrate your last day of single-hood is a great way to gather together and set the tone for what’s to come! Let your guests settle in first before you dive into the activities. Having accommodations already prepared will be very helpful here. Then, take this as an opportunity to introduce your guests to one another particularly those who will be meeting for the first time. Day one is for you to break the ice and help create a bond between all the people that you love.
The Activities:
Check-in conveniently at The Henry Suites MiraNila, which is also housed in the MiraNila Estate. Having accommodations where your wedding venue is makes things easier and comfier for you and your guests.
Once you’ve settled in, you can proceed to a tour of the MiraNila Heritage House and Library where you can revel in displays of paintings and books rich in history. This is a really good idea to get to know more about where you’re spending a very important milestone in your life, and an interesting way to start conversations among your friends and family.
Spend some more much needed quality time with your loved ones through a painting workshop session accompanied by cocktails. To close day one of your wedding festivities in a meaningful manner, enjoy a sit-down dinner catered by Bizu Catering Studio paired with a curated wine selection. Don’t forget to have a toast for the next chapter in your life that officially begins the next day!
Tip: The big day, this is it! Before you throw yourselves into the flurry of wedding day activities, be sure to start your day well. Have a hearty breakfast, do your skincare routine, and include a fun treat for your entourage as you go into hair and makeup!
The Activities:
This is the main event, so there will be a lot going on. Have your breakfast first at Bizu at MiraNila on the ground floor of The Henry Suites. Then, when you’re ready to get your hair and makeup done you can also sit back and relax with cocktails and champagne.
You can choose to have your ceremony at Gallery MiraNila as well. For church weddings, there are nearby parishes that are just minutes away from the estate such as the Our Lady of Mount Carmel New Manila, Mary the Queen Parish, and more.
Finally, what everyone looks forward to the most, the reception. After a moving ceremony, party away at Gallery MiraNila’s Grand Hall and indulge in a sumptuous dinner menu by Bizu Catering Studio.
Cap the night on a high note! Your hotel rooms will be stocked with a mini bar selection during your three-night stay. You can even request for refills. This will be a hit with your guests!
