Since opening its doors in 2010, Radisson Blu Cebu has become a premier destination for both MICE events and weddings, setting the benchmark for luxury experiences in the Visayas. Its state-of-the-art facilities and impeccable service have made it the preferred venue for prestigious gatherings — including hosting the 2017 ASEAN Summit, a landmark event that welcomed world leaders and delegates to Cebu. The hotel has also been the backdrop for countless elegant weddings, notably through its annual Something Blu bridal fair, which has inspired and connected couples with the region’s top wedding artisans.
