The award-winning campaign, Marriott Moments, returns bigger and brighter this year, with the theme “Paving the way to more winning moments.” With the two events combined, the second season of “Marriott Moments A- Fair” and “9th edition of “Marry Me at Marriott”, the event kicked off winning moments which will last a lifetime while showcasing a collection of art pieces mirroring life’s heartfelt instants.
Last 2022, “Marry Me at Marriott” became a part of a market-wide award-winning campaign dubbed, “Marriott Moments,” aimed at providing a deeper meaning to the initiative, acknowledging the significant role that the brand Marriott, and its expanding presence through the growing number of hotel brands in the Philippines, plays in driving the hotel, and wedding & events industries to an auspicious place, such as, showcasing the most reputable celebrated fashion designers like Ezra Santos, Rhett Eala, Albert Andrada, Val Taguba, Jaggy Glarino, and up-and-coming ones like Jezelle Amorado, while also providing the platform for weddings and events suppliers to brandish their creativity and capabilities.

Unparalleled rewards with Marriott Bonvoy
This year’s Marriott Moments was presented by the largest global travel and lifestyle program, the Marriott Bonvoy, as the brand aims to offer more and connect our members to more of what they love. With a total of seven Marriott properties currently operating, two more to open before the year ends, and more in plan for the Philippines, it aims to give endless memorable experiences with our 31 hotel brands and over 8,500+ locations worldwide for more winning moments.
The Marriott Moments Campaign
Highlighting three major components, Online, On Ground, and On Stage, the campaign is able to create an integrated plan in bringing more winning moments that branch out to timeless memories. The campaign also expanded in imparting knowledge to different disciplines with a capacity building seminar held in COLLAB, Sheraton Manila Hotel last February, and the Marriott Moments Culinary Arts Conference earlier this June featuring 20 chefs from 9 Marriott properties in the Philippines, the biggest gathering of culinary arts experts in the history of Marriott’s existence in the country.
Online, through the hotel’s official YouTube channel, sub-branded as My Favorite Travel Channel (MyFTC), the #MYMarriottMoments series continues from last year to showcase experiences of real people sharing their memorable events held at Marriott Hotel Manila to further increase the campaign’s online presence.
