Hello and welcome to another blog post where we happily share with you a little bit of insider info on wedding planning these days. Following our post on restaurants in Manila and nearby (read it here if you still haven’t: 24 Restaurants for Your Intimate Wedding in Manila and Nearby), we’ve created this list of bigger venues.
We know that not all brides will find their dream wedding in a restaurant. Maybe you’ve been eyeing a certain caterer, or you want a bigger space no matter the number of guests. Or you’re simply looking for something more wedding-y.
This list of venues are our favorites: plenty of sunlight washing into the spaces, simple and elegant spaces, excellent service, and lots of photogenic spots in and around.
Let’s get to it!

Easily accessible, Enderun is right smack in BGC. This makes logistics much easier (forget about checkpoints)! We’ve recently done an intimate wedding here, and we have to say their safety protocols in place will assure you of a great and organized event.

All the sprawling greens, the rustic but not overly done details, and the layout of the place make Bella Rosa one of our favorite venues near Manila. Just make sure you’re ready to reschedule your wedding if you and/or your guests are coming from Manila, in case the government declare ECQ. The great thing about weddings today is that everybody’s flexible and willing to adjust, so it shouldn’t be a problem, albeit a hassle.

Abi & Del Foreveryday: Loads of Fun Loads of Love
Andrei & Jhorace foreveryday – A Lovely Wedding in Tagaytay
We haven’t been here yet – both for hiking or a wedding, but we would love to? Are you gonna be our very first Masungi bride? A wedding high up in the mountains, out in the open – just how romantic!
You wanna know something? We personally want to have our renewal of vows here. Pinto Art may have been the backdrop of numerous couple portraits, but its charm never gets old for us. If you like spaces with personality, if you like whites, sunlight, and trees, Pinto Art is your best bet.
We can’t leave out crowd favorite Antonio’s in this list, that would be a shame. There’s a reason why Antonio’s remains to be one of the most coveted places for weddings – the great food, the great space. The beautiful garden outside, plus the elegant space inside make for a wedding venue that everybody would agree on – between you and your fiance, and among your guests. Love it!
Let’s get back to Manila! If you’re looking for a venue that has a distinct elegance, make sure you inquire with Villa Milagros. It’s a mansion transformed into a venue, meaning it’s not overwhelmingly huge, but it’s not too tight for an intimate gathering.
White Space Manila achieves brand name genius – it literally is a white space in Manila! You can dress it up any way you want it! Loved by brides who have a clear vision of their wedding aesthetic, White Space allows for your ideas and styling to be realized to the maximum.

Another Antipolo venue like Pinto Art, The Mango Farm is perfect for a rain-or-shine wedding. It has provision for an outdoor wedding in their garden, and it also has a gorgeous indoor space that brings in the charm of the outdoors right under a roof.

La Faite Home and Country Garden is not far from Manila! Located in San Pedro, Laguna, it’s in the perfect location for when you want a wedding that’s accessible, but has that quaint countryside feels. They also do styling, and they do it so nicely! Whether for your prenup or for your wedding, La Faite is a great choice!
If you really love Tagaytay though, you can add this one on your venues shortlist, it has our seal of approval: Leanel’s Garden. We love the design of their venue! Very wood cabin, elegant hideaway vibes – perfect for an intimate exchange of vows!
This one is right in Metro Manila! Check out Gallery Miranila in Quezon City. It’s by Blue Leaf – a brand of venues that you can be sure about in terms of design, style, and attentiveness to clients. The great thing about this is that you know you’re in good hands. Blue Leaf knows events, the ins and outs, the coordination, and what brides and grooms need in their wedding. Different from the other Blue Leaf venues, The Gallery is a bit smaller and more textured, with its European design. We love the courtyard! It’s perfect for cocktails, or the ceremony itself!

Another QC venue, Avire Tower is a big enough space for a wedding ceremony and reception in one. It has floor to ceiling glass walls (hello natural light) and an outdoor rooftop! Perfect for those sunset post-ceremony portaits and starlit reception dinners.
Their website promises to “bring couples celebrating important milestones a memorable occasion” through their elegant venue reminiscent of Manila’s Golden Age. If you love that distinct Old Manila architecture and texture (who doesn’t?!), Palacio de Memoria is your best bet!
Let’s have a drive back to San Pedro for another quaint venue, Archie’s Events Place. It has a high ceiling hall, giving you endless possibilities for whatever type of wedding you want to have. Whether you want the classic wedding look, or something more modern, you can dress the venue up any way you want.
