Edited Press Release
Solaire Resort Entertainment City is taking a new journey as a wedding destination in the metro. The integrated destination resort is taking a new start as it mounts its first-ever bridal fair on May 9 and 10, 2026 at its Grand Ballroom in Paranaque City.
Dubbed as ‘Light the Aisle: A Luminous Beginning,’ the two-day inaugural bridal fair is bringing some of the country’s most sought-after event planners, wedding stylists, wedding designers, and other suppliers together to meet soon-to-wed couples and other parties that are involved in planning and executing weddings, vow renewals, milestone anniversaries, golden wedding anniversaries, engagement parties, and gatherings that honor shared memories.
Set within Solaire Resort Entertainment City’s elegant event spaces, the showcase invites guests to imagine how wedding and milestone celebrations can unfold across the property—from the Grand Ballroom and Pre-Function Area to the Pool Deck and Luxury Suites. These spaces set the tone for occasions that can feel intimate, grand, and deeply personal all at once.
“We have created ‘Light the Aisle‘ as a curated bridal showcase that brings together creativity, inspiration, and some of the most popular creatives in the local wedding industry,” said Solaire Resort SVP of Resort Operations David Batchelor. “It celebrates not only the beauty of weddings, but also the artistry and collaboration that bring such celebrations to life.”
Distinct signatures in the wedding industry
Among the planners taking part are Christine Ong-Te Events, Events by Miss P, Kim Torres Events, Kiss the Girl Events, Rhed Sarmiento Events, and Sweet Comfort Events Management—each bringing a point of view that many couples already recognize when searching for the right team behind a meaningful celebration.

Some are known for stylish, highly visual weddings where every detail reads beautifully both in person and in photographs. Others are recognized for polished coordination, romantic atmosphere, or the kind of planning discipline that makes a celebration feel seamless from start to finish.
For the Bridal Showcase, each planner will present a fully realized wedding vignette shaped by that signature style. Rather than simply offering pegs or mood boards, the installations invite guests into settings that already feel layered, considered, and celebration-ready—the kind of spaces where a wedding, a renewal of vows, or an anniversary gathering can immediately be imagined in full.
The look, the mood, and the memory
Alongside the planners are creative partners whose work also helps define how celebrations are seen and remembered. The showcase opens with a curated selection of sought-after stylists, including Amante Fleurs Event Styling, Events Central by Anna Winstel, Eyecandy Manila Event Styling Co., Ginger Gaddi, Jo Claravall, Kathy Sy King, Kyno Kho, Key Design by Erick Daquioag, Ralph & Co., as additional names are set to join this growing roster of wedding visionaries.
A key moment of the showcase will unfold on May 10 with a bridal fashion show by renowned Filipino designer Val Taguba. Known for refined silhouettes and romantic detailing, Taguba’s couture creations will bring the elegance of the wedding aisle to life on the runway, closing the two-day showcase with a stylish nod to contemporary Filipino bridal fashion.
Serving as the official photography and video partner, Nice Print Photography will document the event’s highlights across the two-day showcase—capturing the installations, runway presentation, and the many celebrations imagined throughout the venue.
Where ideas begin to feel real
Across two days, guests will be able to move through Solaire Resort Entertainment City’s spaces while gathering ideas for the kind of celebration they hope to create.
The program includes guided venue tours, styled photo corners, food tastings, consultation sessions with planners, designers, and suppliers, live musical performances, bridal masterclasses, and a bridal fashion show. Together, these create a fuller picture of how a celebration may come together—not only in concept, but in atmosphere, movement, and feeling.
Just as important, the showcase places Solaire Resort Entertainment City at the heart of that vision as a destination for meaningful occasions. Whether the celebration calls for a grand ballroom reception, a more intimate exchange of vows, a poolside gathering, or a milestone anniversary marked with family and close friends, the property offers a setting where scale, polish, and personal detail can meet in one place.
This May 9–10, 2026, Solaire Resort Entertainment City welcomes couples, families, and celebration planners to discover Light The Aisle: A Luminous Beginning and explore how meaningful occasions can take shape in a destination built for moments worth remembering.
