Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I RSVP or confirm my attendance?
A: Confirming your attendance is quick and simple! Just head to the RSVP section on this website, where you’ll find the form to fill out. You can also click the provided link to go directly to the RSVP page.
Q: When is the RSVP deadline?
A: Please submit your RSVP by January 31, 2025. This helps us finalize the guest list and seating arrangements. We appreciate your timely response!
Q: What happens if I miss the RSVP deadline or if I initially declined but can now attend?
A: If we don’t hear from you by January 31, we’ll assume you’re unable to join us, and your seat will be reallocated. While we can’t guarantee availability after this date, you’re welcome to reach out to check if there are any open seats. Please wait for confirmation before attending, as seating is strictly limited.
Q: I RSVP’d but can no longer attend. What should I do?
A: If your plans change, please inform us as soon as possible. This allows us to update the seating plan and extend the invitation to others. Thank you for keeping us informed—it’s a great help!
Q: Can I bring a plus one or an extra guest?
A: Unfortunately, no. Due to limited seating, we can only accommodate a limited number of guests. Each seat is individually assigned, and only those on the guest list will be admitted. Please understand that this event is strictly by invitation, and additional guests cannot be accommodated.
Q: Can I bring my children?
A: We love kids, but this will be an adults-only event. The only children attending are those included in the entourage. We hope you understand and enjoy this special day with us.
Q: Is parking available at the church and reception venues?
A: Yes, both the church and the reception venues offer parking. Please keep in mind that spaces are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend arriving early.
Q: Will the event be indoors or outdoors? Is it air-conditioned?
A: The ceremony will take place inside the church, which is air-conditioned. Both the cocktail hour and reception will also be indoors in a fully air-conditioned venue.
Q: Are there nearby accommodations for guests? Where can I stay if I’m traveling from outside Metro Manila?
A: If you’d like to stay at the Manila Hotel before or after the wedding, please let us know. We can help coordinate with the hotel and add you to the guest list, but please note that the stay will be at your own expense.
Q: What time should I arrive?/What time will the ceremony start?
A: The ceremony will begin promptly at 2:30 PM, so we suggest arriving at least 15 minutes early to allow time for parking and finding your seat. There will be a holding area for the entourage inside the church, which is fully air-conditioned. Please be mindful of traffic to avoid being late. Please note that you may not be allowed to enter the church once the entrance procession has started.
Q: Is it okay to take photos and videos with our phones and cameras during the ceremony?
A: We will be having an unplugged ceremony, so we ask that you refrain from taking photos or videos during the ceremony. Please stay present and respectful. Once we’re officially married, feel free to capture as many moments as you like – just be sure not to block the view of our professional photographers and videographers.
