Expect warm, sunny days throughout April. Temperatures typically range from an average high of 33°C to an average low of 25°C, with around 64% humidity. However, weather in the Philippines can still be a bit unpredictable, so it’s always good to be prepared.

frequently asked questions
Guest Information
What should I wear? What is the Dress Code?
The Dress code for our wedding is boho tropical beach style.
It’s a beach wedding — comfort is key! But please save the shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops and black or white outfits for another day. Likewise, tuxedos, suits, boots, and oxford shoes aren’t ideal for sand. Light, elegant, and beach-chic is the vibe.
To help you blend beautifully with the celebration, we kindly encourage guests to dress within our color palette:
What will the weather be like that time of the year?
Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony will be outdoor by the beach, so get ready to feel the sun’s heat and feel the fine white sand on your feet. (No bringing umbrella pls?)
The reception will take place indoors. (The island has general rule with regards to loud music after 12mn though but we will see what we can do about it to continue the fuuuun!)
Do we really need to RSVP?
Yes, please! We need your RSVP to consolidate guest details and finalize the headcount for catering and seating arrangements.
I already RSVP’d but my plans changed and I can no longer attend. What should I do?
We understand that things come up. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can reassign your seat(s).
What should I do if I can’t make it?
You will be missed! ☹
If you cannot make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP “NO,” so we can plan accordingly.
