Through the years, the relaxing climate and the easy atmosphere of Antipolo attracted couples who were searching for that special place to say, "I do." The sloping hills, the abundant greenery, and the magnificent view all provided a background for beginning the new life of a husband and wife.

Perched above a hill and overlooking the metropolis, Seven Suites Hotel Observatory is fast becoming a destination for couples who want to have a solemn yet memorable wedding.

"The view here is very peaceful and relaxing," said hotel manager Mary Anne Padua. "In addition to its lovely ambience, the hotel is well-equipped to serve the needs not only of the couples, but also their guests."

True enough, Seven Suites recently inaugurated a multi-purpose hall that can accommodate parties of up to 200 people. An added attraction is the "Hollywood Steakhouse", which serves buffet meals featuring unlimited trips to the salad and soup station.

Seven Suites offers four Wedding Packages, starting from the Traditional Package, which offers a bottle of red wine for the bridal toast, a floral centerpiece for the couple’s table, flowers for the Presidential tables, an elegant buffet setup, flower arrangements for each table, and the complimentary use of audio facilities. The Sophisticated package adds a pair of doves (or 25 butterflies) in a decorative cage and a two-layered wedding cake to the Traditional Package.

"What makes our package really attractive is the fact that they are suited to the needs of the couple and their families. They also have other options: to have their wedding in the garden or on the top of the hotel," said Mary Anne. She added that all wedding packages come with a free stargazing session with the in-house astronomer, a Seven Suites exclusive.

The third and fourth packages, called "Elegance" and "Legendary" respectively, come with all the privileges of a memorable wedding celebration. After the party, the newlyweds can stay overnight in Seven Suites’ bridal suites and be welcomed with a fruit basket. The next morning, a complimentary breakfast will be served.

Seven Suites Hotel Observatory, now on its 7th year, is located at Hollywood Hills Subdivision, Sumulong Highway, Antipolo City, and is just 30 minutes away from Cubao or Ortigas.
