Can we have a copy of the missalette?

Yes! We've uploaded a copy of the missalette that you can access here: Missalette
Can we take pictures and videos during the wedding?

We wish to keep our ceremony solemn, thus our wedding ceremony will be unplugged. This means that taking pictures and videos using any personal handheld device (i.e. mobile phones, tablets, and/or cameras) by guests will NOT be allowed during the entourage procession, bridal march, and ceremony proper. We also humbly ask that you keep these devices on silent mode at this time. Once we are pronounced as husband and wife, you're free to snap images to your heart's content. We have an incredible team of professional photographers and videographers to capture the moment. We also promise to share all the pictures and videos with you once available!
Can we sit anywhere during the reception?

It took us a lot of effort and discussion to finalize the seating arrangement. We put much thought to accommodate everyone's convenience and comfort. Worry not as you will most likely be seated amongst your family and/or friends. Please allow our coordinators to assist you in finding your seats. You may also view the seating chart we prepared here: Seating
When is the appropriate time to leave?

We put a lot of time and effort to put together a reception program that is both meaningful and enjoyable. So, please do try to stick around until the end. We will do our best to follow the schedule. We plan to start the reception program mid-afternoon and aim to finish by 8PM. However, if you need to leave early, please do tell us. We would like to properly thank you and say goodbye before you go.
Do you have a gift preference?

As love is what this day is all about, your presence and support alone will help us without a doubt. But should you believe that a gift is worth giving, cash gift and prayers would aid our family's beginning. 🤍
I want to give a gift! How can I do it?

Thank you so much for wanting to contribute to our honeymoon fund / future home fund! We greatly appreciate it! We have prepared GCash QR codes to make it easier for you to send your gift electronically. Please download one of the QR codes (it will be in .jpeg/photo format) into your mobile device first. Then, using your preferred mobile wallet or mobile banking app, please choose the "upload QR code" or "import from gallery" function. It should automatically populate the receiver's name and account number so you need only to input the amount. If you find this way too tedious, you can always give it to us directly. Anyway, whichever method you choose, we really are grateful for your gift! 🤍
How can we help the couple have the best time during the wedding?

✅ RSVP as soon as possible, preferably on or before December 20, 2023. ✅ Wear appropriate attire. ✅ Be there on time. ✅ Stay until the end of the program. ✅ Pray with us for favors and provisions. ✅ Keep the good vibes and enjoy! :)
Do we really need to RSVP?

Yes, it is a MUST! We need your responses to consolidate all the details and finalize the headcount for the catering and seating arrangement. We will also forward this information to our coordinators who will be strict in checking and allowing entry into both the ceremony and reception venues. We will open the RSVP form on October 1, 2023. We will notify you when it is available. Once accessible, please fill out the form on this page: RSVP Please respond as soon as you can. This helps us a lot in streamlining both the guest list and the seating list.
I have RSVPed "YES," but due to a change in circumstance, I will no longer be able to attend. What should I do?

We understand that such unexpected instances may occur. In this case, while we will be missing your presence on our special day, we ask that you let us know as soon as possible.
I have RSVPed "NO," but my schedule has since changed and I can now attend. What should I do?

We're glad that you'll be able to make it! Please let us know as soon as possible. Having said that, please understand that we may have reallocated your seat/s to other guests. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the same number of seats or any at all. However, we will let you know right away once we have checked our guest list.
Can we bring our kids to the wedding?

We love children, but we regretfully cannot accommodate them at the venue as we wish to keep it a solemn event. The only kids in attendance will be those who are part of our entourage as well as those who we requested to come. We hope that you understand.
Can I bring a date with me? (or any plus ones?)

Please refer to your invitation to see the number of seat/s allocated for you. We wish to keep it an intimate event with only those closest and most important to us. As much as we would love to have everyone celebrate with us, unfortunately, we can only accommodate a limited number of guests. This will apply not only to dates, but to other companions as well (i.e. yaya, driver, personal assistant, friend, etc.). Please also understand that we cannot accept any requests for plus ones. Please be advised that anyone not on the guest list will not be allowed into either venue.
Can I bring my pet(s) with me?

Unfortunately, no. :( While we both love pets – especially doggos – we request that you do not bring them into either venue. With the limited space, we feel it would be best to be fair to all our guests whether or not they like pets. This is also to avoid any untoward incidents from happening throughout the day.
Where will the ceremony be held and what time should we arrive?

The ceremony will be held at Our Lady of Ephesus Chapel inside Bella Rosa Gardens in Silang, Cavite. It will strictly start at exactly 12 noon. We recommend arriving at the venue at least 30 minutes before the start of the ceremony.
Where will the reception be and what time will it start?

The reception will be held at Balay Dako by Antonio's in Tagaytay City. It will be a 20-minute travel from the ceremony venue. Welcome drinks and snacks will be served from 2PM onwards. Please use this time to find your seat/s and mingle with each other. The reception program will start at 3PM and likely last until 8PM.
How do we get to the venues?

For everyone's convenience, we have both venues and their exact locations posted on our site's frontpage. You can click on the Google Maps or Waze buttons that appear at the bottom of each venue, which will redirect you to their respective apps. As such, we highly recommend that you install one or both apps on your phones before the date. You can then use either app to guide you to each location from your current position. If using Google Maps (great for slower data/mobile internet connections): 1) Click on the "Directions" button. It will then show your approximate location, route, and estimated travel time. 2) Turn on/up the volume and press "Start" to let the app guide you to your destination. If using Waze: 1) Click on the "Start Driving" button. It will automatically account your location, route, and estimated travel time. Please find the buttons here: Events Info
Where can we park our cars? How much will it cost?

Both venues have offered us free parking during the course of the events. And both are spacious enough to accommodate the cars of our anticipated number of guests.
Where will the couple be staying before the wedding? Can you give a list of accommodations near the event venues?

We will be staying at Anya Resort Tagaytay. While we won't push for you to stay in the same hotel, we will recommend it since they have been kind enough to offer us and our guests discounts. Please see the discounted room rates at the right side of the table below: Should you decide to stay here, please contact us for the booking procedure to avail of the discounts. You may reach us via Facebook Messenger or thru the mobile numbers posted at the footer of this website. However, Anya Resort Tagaytay isn't the only option available. There are multiple hotels and Airbnb accommodations near either venue that may suit your preferences better. We will, however, advise our entourage to either stay at or near Anya Resort Tagaytay since call times for make-ups and photoshoots will begin at an early time. To that end, we compiled a selection of accommodations on this page: Travel & Stay
