A Story Written in Perfect Timing
A love that grew from friendship into something we never rushed—something we now see as God’s perfect timing for us.
We’re counting down the days until we begin this new chapter—surrounded by love, laughter, and the people who have been part of our story.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the dress code?
We’d love for everyone to dress elegantly and comfortably while following our Attire Guide. Please refer to the guide above for your assigned color palette and attire. We can’t wait to celebrate this special day with all of you looking your best!
Should I stay overnight in Tanay?
If your schedule allows, we highly recommend staying in Tanay for at least one night. As our wedding takes place on a Tuesday and the celebration will conclude in the evening, an overnight stay allows you to relax, fully enjoy the occasion, and avoid traveling home late at night.
Known for its cool mountain climate, breathtaking views of the Sierra Madre, scenic landscapes, and peaceful atmosphere, Tanay offers the perfect setting for a refreshing short getaway.
There are plenty of accommodations to choose from, including resorts, private villas, cabins, and Airbnb stays. For your convenience, we recommend booking somewhere close to the reception venue or along the route between the chapel and the reception venue.
Some of our suggested accommodations include:
…and many more! Feel free to explore Google Maps or Airbnb for additional accommodations that best suit your preferences and budget.
Wherever you choose to stay, we recommend selecting a place that is easily accessible and allowing enough travel time. Roads in Tanay can become quite dark in the evening, so staying nearby can make your trip more comfortable and stress-free.
Will transportation be provided?
Currently, guests are kindly requested to arrange their own transportation to and from the wedding venues. We recommend traveling by private vehicle for the most convenient experience. If you don’t have your own car, you may also book an app-based ride service, such as Grab or InDrive, subject to driver availability. Should there be any updates regarding transportation, we’ll be sure to share them on our wedding website as our wedding day approaches.
How do I get to the chapel?
The chapel is approximately 2–3 hours from Metro Manila or Bulacan, depending on traffic, so we encourage everyone to allow plenty of travel time and plan to arrive by 2:00 PM.
For the most convenient route, we recommend entering through the Epic Mountain Estate Gate. While Waze and Google Maps can also guide you directly to La Capilla de la Boda Diocesana de Amor Divino, they may suggest an alternate route with some unpaved road sections. As our wedding day approaches, we’ll be sharing a detailed map and our recommended driving directions on our wedding website to help make your journey as smooth as possible.
What time should I arrive?
We kindly ask all guests to arrive by 2:00 PM to allow enough time for parking, check-in, and finding your seat before the ceremony. We would love for everyone to be comfortably settled before our celebration begins.
Will there be parking?
Yes! Parking is available at the venue. Upon arrival, simply follow the directions of the venue staff to the designated parking area.
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Yes, absolutely! Feel free to capture a few special moments during the ceremony. We kindly ask that your phones be kept on silent mode and that you remain in your seat while taking photos. Please avoid stepping into the aisle or obstructing our professional photo and video team so they can capture these once-in-a-lifetime memories for us.
Are the ceremony and reception held at the same venue?
No. Our ceremony and reception will be held at separate venues. The reception venue is approximately 15 minutes from the chapel and can be easily reached using Waze or Google Maps. As our wedding day approaches, we’ll be sharing detailed directions on our wedding website.
Can I freshen up before the reception?
Absolutely! Restrooms are available at the reception venue should you wish to freshen up after the ceremony.
What happens during cocktail hour?
While we’re taking our post-ceremony photos, we invite you to relax and enjoy our cocktail hour. We’ll have light refreshments, an on-site photo booth, and beautiful garden spaces where you can mingle, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings before the reception program begins.
Is there parking at the reception venue?
Yes. Guest parking is available at the designated parking area located at the lower level of the venue. From there, it’s a short walk uphill to the reception area.
To help keep traffic flowing smoothly, we encourage guests to walk up whenever possible. For our senior guests and guests with mobility needs, vehicles may briefly drop them off at the reception entrance before proceeding to the designated parking area.
Can we sit anywhere at the reception?
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable celebration, we’ve prepared a seating arrangement for all our guests. Upon registration, our coordinators will guide you to your assigned table so you can relax and enjoy the rest of the evening.
Can I bring a plus-one?
We’ve carefully planned our guest list to create an intimate celebration with our closest family and friends. Your RSVP includes the names of the guests invited and the number of seats reserved for your party. We kindly ask that only those listed join us on our special day. Thank you for your understanding—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Can I bring my kid/s with me?
While we absolutely adore your little ones, we’ve chosen to make our wedding an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives everyone the opportunity to relax and enjoy an evening of love, laughter, and celebration with us. Thank you so much for your understanding!
Do you have gift preferences?
Your love, prayers, and presence at our wedding are the greatest gifts we could ask for. However, if you wish to bless us with a gift, a monetary contribution would be sincerely appreciated as we begin this new chapter of our lives together.
What if I can't make it?
We understand that plans can sometimes change. If you’re unable to celebrate with us, we kindly ask that you update your RSVP at your earliest convenience. Your response will help us with our final preparations and ensure everything is thoughtfully arranged. While we’ll miss having you with us, we truly appreciate you letting us know.
Still have a question?
If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d be more than happy to help and can’t wait to celebrate this special day with you!
