The Holidays are coming! Since the ber-months are upon us, everyone is shopping and looking for a place to celebrate. Luckily, Marriott has everything you will ever need for both Halloween and Christmas!
During a press preview, WhenInManila.com got a chance to see and taste Marriott’s latest offerings! And I tell you, they are all so delish!
Upon entry of the Garden 1 & 2 rooms of Marriott, we were welcomed by this really cute doodle of what to expect for the day. We were also welcomed with some refreshing drinks!
The room was decorated with festive golds, perfect to usher in the Holidays. The table set-up was really nice, just like the festivities lined up for everyone.
The Holiday Celebration in Marriott starts with Halloween where witches, wizards, and ghosts were the theme. Marriott pastries are to die for and Cheif Fil Afable has the perfect treats prepared for your pumpkin bags this Halloween.
