Celebrity & Society Weddings 2019
Moira dela Torre and Jason Hernandez
She was over an hour late for her January 14 wedding in Narra Hill Tagaytay. But when she arrived, she was a vision, and everyone knew that the wait had been worth it. There were so many beautiful elements of this wedding beginning with her Patricia Santos gown and the setup by florist and event stylist Gideon Hermosa, but the best parts of the botanical and garden-inspired nuptials were the fact that this bride and groom waited for their wedding day to share their first kiss! Also, Moira sang Jason a song at the altar that brought everyone to tears. How sweet was that?
Kryz Uy and Slater Young
Kryz and Slater tied the knot on February 16 at the Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu. Taking advantage of her beautiful venue, Kryz opted for a garden-themed reception and subdued tones for her palette and dress code. We loved her wedding (and all the activities leading up to it) because of how she and Slater, both of whom have Chinese heritage, honored both Filipino and Chinese customs in their journey to wedded bliss.
Patty Ang and Migs Almeda
Patty married Migs on February 23 at St. Michael the Archangel Parish Church at Fort Bonifacio. Their after-party, on the other hand, was held at Solaire Resort & Casino's rooftop pool and bar and featured an elegant dinner setup followed by an awesome neon-lit dance party. We loved it because of the love story behind it; Patty had finally gotten her much-awaited, and deserved, happily ever after.

Sunshine Garcia and Alex Castro
Sunshine and Alex's March 3 wedding definitely reflected this bride's name! They picked an opulent theme of mirrors and reflections (and lots of metallics) for wedding held at the Manila Cathedral and continued at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila's Grand Ballroom. We loved it because it didn't hold back one bit; it was as grand as you can imagine.
Camille Co and Joni Koro
Camille and Joni got married on April 11 in Siena, Italy. Though they didn't have a particular theme for their nuptials, this couple did have a rustic atmosphere in place thanks to the beautiful Villa Catignano they rented out for their ceremony, dinner party, and guest accommodations. We loved this wedding because of its picture-perfect vistas; everything about it was a lovely background to this even lovelier union.
Mitch Madrigal and Troy Wolfolk
Mitch and Troy tied the knot on April 13 at Vintage Villas Hotel in Austin, Texas. Given their wedding's springtime date, they opted for an outdoor ceremony with timeless, classic elements that wouldn't take attention away from the real main event: the love between this bride and groom, and of course, the bride's overall look! We loved their "I do's" because of its simple elegance and how their daughter played a role on the special day.
Dani Barretto and Xavi Panlilio
Dani and Xavi became Mr. and Mrs. on April 26 at the Santuario De San Antonio Parish, Makati. Their reception was held at the Peninsula Manila Hotel and was equally classic to give their wedding a timeless look they can appreciate for years to come. We loved it because of the authenticity of Dani and Xavi on the day itself. They had the time of their lives, celebrating being young and in love all at once.
Danielle Lee and Geoffrey Santos
Danielle and Geoffrey solidified their commitment to each other on April 28 in an actual forest manicured to rustic perfection in El Nido, Palawan. Their wedding theme followed the surroundings—natural greens, earthy elements, with a touch of soft whites and grays. We loved everything about their wedding because of their unique choice of venue and the beautiful photos that came of it.
Quark Henares and Bianca Yuzon
Bali, Indonesia was where Quark married longtime girlfriend Bianca on May 25. The oceanside ceremony had everyone on their feet thanks to the mini concert-themed after party that lasted until the wee hours of the morning, and we loved it even more thanks to the little personalized details in their décor that were personalized and totally original. The creative couple made a ton of references to the things they loved, making the occasion truly their own.
KC Montero and Stephanie Dods
September 9 was the day KC and Stephanie sealed the deal in a simple, private ceremony in the US. They became husband and wife in a civil ceremony with a few of their family members present to witness their union, but what we loved most about it were their reactions to becoming lifelong partners. "She’s the one who loves me more than I’ve ever been loved before and never afraid to show it or feel it. She’s the one who picked me up after my father passed, let me cry and at the same time made me strong. She became my reason “why”.. why i work, why I smile, why I laugh and why I can finally sleep. The reason why i’m happy to go home after a long day knowing she’s on the other side of that door. Every doubt, every question disappears when i look into her eyes. She is my home. She is my wife," KC wrote in part on Instagram after they wed. Their matching suits were cute, too!
AJ Muhlach and Anna Mabasa
AJ And Anna became husband and wife on May 20 at the Iglesia Ni Cristo Lokal ng EVM at Tagaytay. Later on, they moved to Club Ananda, Sandari Batulao in Nasugbu, Batangas where they wowed guests with a reception that was Greek mythology-themed—a topic this couple bonded over throughout their relationship! We loved their ceremony because of its freshness, original concept, and the fact that it was held on the groom's birthday.
Jehza Huelar and Peter June Simon
Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2018 Jehza married her forever love, PBA star Peter June, on May 28 at Antonio's in Tagaytay. The mild weather made their garden theme a lovely choice, but we particularly enjoyed seeing how this special day unfolded with Jehza's fellow queens. The occasion definitely doubled as a mini reunion of some of the country's top pageant candidates and winners with the likes of Michele Gumabao, Venus Raj, Nicole Cordoves, Karen Gallman, Eva Patalinjug present alongside other sports personalities and celebrities.
Alissa Martinez and Paulus Reyes
Alissa and Paulus picked October 21 to be their wedding date and tied the knot in a pretty chapel in the pretty winter resort town of Banff in Alberta, Canada. The couple also held their pre-nup shoot there where they enjoyed the place's snowy white charm and quaint sites. Keeping their guest list to a minimum, everything about this special day was intimate, meaningful, and personal. We loved how Alissa and Martinez focused on their families and the event itself, rather than the spectacle of it.
Czarina Marie Balba and Michael Guevara
Czarina, or more famously known as DJ Chacha, got the wedding of her dreams with Michael on May 30 at Fernwood Gardens, Tagaytay. The venue, known for its whimsical appeal, didn't need much transformation with a brand new theme and this bride simply made the most of its fairytale-like atmosphere and basked in an evening when she was the fairest one of all. We loved it because of the grandness of everything; Fernwood's scale gave everything the wow-factor such a special day deserved.
Catherine Concepcion and Javier Puno
Catherine became Javier's blushing bride on June 10 at the Santuario de San Antonio Parish. Festivities continued at the Shangri-La at the Fort where this couple kept things simple and classic, theme-wise, but made sure guests were happily entertained with the program that featured a ton of musical performances, surprise singing, and even more dancing. We loved this wedding because of how it was a culmination of these sweethearts' nine-year relationship—they had been together since high school.
Alexandra Espiritu Suarez and Jaime Urquijo Zobel de Ayala
Theirs was dubbed the "society wedding of the year" and for good reason. Alexandra and Jaime wed in the Los Molinillos estate in Madrid, Spain on October 5. It wasn't a one day event, either; they had a series of events leading up to the special day including a flamenco party. There wasn't a particular theme in place, only that all the major elements decorating the venue were all meaningful for the couple and their families; everything spoke of their love story, as well as the coming together of two families and traditions. We loved their ceremony because of this, and of course, because of the guests who arrived incredibly well-dressed, too!
Aicelle Santos and Mark Zambrano
On November 16, Aicelle became Mark's forever love in a sunflower-themed wedding held at Batangas' Jardín de Zaida. They highlighted their venue's natural beauty and picked the yellow blooms in particular to spruce up the day, and the symbolism behind their choice is why we loved their wedding; "she chose sunflower for her wedding to reflect the radiance of the sun as a symbol of happiness, vibrancy and prosperity," event stylist Dave Sandoval says.
Victor Basa and Stephanie Dan
"I do's" between this husband and wife were exchanged on November 10 in Angelfields Nature Sanctuary, Tagaytay. They wished to highlight the beauty of their wedding venue, and so opted for simple, botanical-themed ceremony and party that featured more pretty greenery than traditional fresh flowers in bright colors. To make things more special, both Victor and Stephanie decided on keeping things as fuss-free as possible as they wished to put their love, faith, and the role their family played in organizing their wedding at the center of the day. We love how it took them just eight weeks to pull it all off!
Rodjun Cruz and Dianne Medina
December 21 was when tributesand Dianne became each other's forever happily ever afters in an ethereal wedding ceremony held at the magnificent Manila Cathedral. Making the most out of the dreamy season they wed in, the couple decked out their venues with pretty lights and glowing details for that extra romantic feel, but why we loved their wedding wasn't just because of aesthetics; both of them paid tributes to their parents who had passed away and were no longer able to witness their children tie the knot.
Valerie Concepcion and Francis Sunga
There was no better way to end their 2019 and start their 2020 than with a wedding dated on December 29! Valerie and Francis became husband and wife in The Hills in Silang, Cavite where its natural beauty shined through and gave the occasion an airy, crisp feel. Though outdoors, everything about the wedding was a hundred percent luxurious; we loved how they elevated a simple concept into something worth copping.
Jolo Revilla and Angelica Alita
It was an extra special Christmas for this pair who wed on December 15 at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California. It was a different take on an overseas wedding that most often than not features white, snowy landscapes and crisp weather, thanks to Pacific Ocean's breeze giving life to the ceremony. A garden-themed party followed their "I dos," and our favorite thing about it all was definitely the location!
Jinri Park and John
They were all smiles on December 30 when they wed in a simple Korean wedding ceremony in Jinri's home country. She and John married privately and kept most of the day's special details to themselves, but we're especially in love with how Jinri donned a traditional hanbok for her big day.
Vhong Navarro and Tanya Bautista
It was finally on November 28 when Vhong and Tanya made their relationship the most official it could ever get in an intimate wedding ceremony and dinner at the Four Seasons Kyoto Hotel, Japan. They'd been together for at least a decade before getting married, and to celebrate their union, they invited only their closest of family and very best of friends to the special day for a cozy, mid-winter evening in the quiet Japanese city. There wasn't a particular theme for their reception, because they didn't want that to be the focus; Vhong and Tanya prepared a ton of dance numbers, singing bits, and skits instead to stay true to the charming entertainers they've always been to their loved ones! We loved the authenticity and genuineness of the whole event.
