We're getting married, and if you're reading this, it means that we care about you a lot and would love it if you could celebrate our wedding with us!
Get ready - you're heading to The Philippines to celebrate our big day!
We know that it's a pretty long way to travel and we're asking a lot from you in terms of time and money, so please do not feel guilty if you are unable to make it, we'll completely understand :)
We really want our wedding to feel like a holiday so we have a few things that we would highly recommend to do whilst you're in Asia. Keep on reading to find out more information!

ACCOMODATION
Acuaverde Beach Resort Accommodation
If you'd like to enjoy the beach and resort facilities before the wedding, we recommend arriving at the venue on 26th July. This way you can feel nice and relaxed before the wedding rather than arriving on the actual day.
Bride and Groom + family will be staying overnight on 26th July too :)

You won't need to worry about booking your accommodation for 27th July.

If you need accommodation for any day you're in Manila, we can offer you free accommodation at La Breza Hotel or SotoGrande- Katipunan which is roughly a 30 minute - 45 min drive from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (depending on Manila traffic). Each room has 2 double beds and 1 bathroom - breakfast is excluded. Booking is subject to hotel room availability.
