Are you dreaming of saying "I do" against the backdrop of stunning beaches or lush landscapes?


Planning a union in a dream location like the Philippines brings a touch of exotic charm and adventure to your celebration. Here's your guide to planning the perfect destination wedding.



Set the Date and Destination


The first step to planning your dream destination wedding is choosing the perfect location. Whether you envision a tropical beach affair, a charming countryside celebration, or a luxurious urban event, the Philippines offers a myriad of breathtaking settings.


From Boracay's white sandy beaches to Tagaytay's picturesque vistas, narrow down your options to find the destination that resonates with your vision. Once done, coordinate your preferred date + expected number of guests to the venue, then ask their package or offers.



Budget Wisely


Destination weddings can be expensive but worth it, offering all-inclusive packages for intimate or elopement settings are your options. However, it's crucial to create a detailed budget, with 5% contingency budget allowance for any unexpected expenses.


Consider travel costs for you and your guests, accommodation, venue fees. Get local vendors to lessen Out of Town Fees (OTF). Otherwise, you may book your dream team and consider their OTF. With careful decisions assisted by your Destination Wedding Planner, you can create a magical experience without breaking the bank.

Plan Ahead


Destination wedding requires meticulous organization and coordination. Reach out to vendors who specialize in destinations, and are familiar with the area to help bring your vision to life. Consider factors like the weather, cultural traditions, and legal requirements to ensure a seamless celebration. Start planning at least a year in advance to secure the best venues and vendors.



Create Memorable Experiences


Add an authentic touch to your celebration by hiring Folk Dancers and let your guest participate, Taho or Sorbetero vendors. Serve local cuisines such as Rice Cakes, Puto Bung-Bong and other delicacies for a unique, and exotic experiences.


One of the perks of this kind of union is the opportunity to extend the celebration beyond the wedding day. Plan pre & post-wedding activities like beach parties, island hopping tours, or cultural excursions to immerse your guests in the destination's beauty.

Hire a professional photographer & videographer who understands your vision and can beautifully document the essence of your special day, and the very exact things/moments you want to capture.
