Manila Cathedral
Imagine walking through the entryway of the Manila Cathedral and hearing your heels click as you walk on the marble flooring. You glance around and see mosaic panels where the light penetrates, creating a Bokeh effect on the floor. As you continue to walk deeper inside, you pass through arcaded colonnades and feel its strength as the entire vaulted ceiling of the edifice rests upon it.
Able to cater to two hundred guests, the Manila Cathedral is a premier cathedral found in the core of the walled city of Intramuros. Following the formal name of Manila Metropolitan Cathedral-Basilica, it is the first-ever cathedral in the country.
For the love of Filipino history, exchange vows with your spouse under the Neo-Romanesque-inspired roof of the Manila Cathedral that witnessed thousands of romantic and melancholic peculiar events.

The parish is illuminated by natural light and its abbey-style picturesque beauty is surrounded by white painted walls.

The San Antonio de Padua Church manifests simplicity and tranquility that makes a wedding ceremony peaceful and intimate. The rustic charm of the perfectly designed stained-glass windows lets natural light shine upon the beautiful ornate patterned wood floor of the church.
