Expand the sections below for more details.
-
Can I still bring physical gifts at the wedding?Absolutely! However, we highly encourage "monetary" gifts sent to our bank accounts instead. You may refer to the Gift Registry section for more details
-
Can I livestream the wedding on my social media account?No. We want our wedding to be intimate so we do not want our guests to be live streaming to any social media sites (Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, etc.). You can take pictures as many times as you want as long as it's not disrupting the flow of the programs during the church and reception ceremonies.
-
I am a best man/maid of honor/bridesmaid/groomsman, can I book my own hotel?Yes definitely. We highly encourage you to book your own accommodations for privacy purposes. However, you need to be early on the wedding day, as we need to do some preparations beforehand. Also, please inform the bride/groom if you will be booking your own accommodation/s.
-
Are there any parking slots in case we bring a car to the wedding?We are still coordinating to the admin of Palacio del Gobernador (beside Manila Cathedral) if we can reserve some parking slots during the wedding. There are available parkings beside the church (near the parish office), but are quite limited. We will be posting those details soon. In Casa Ibarra, there are only 15 available parking slots intended for close relatives of the groom and bride. However, there is an option provided by Casa Ibarra to park at MAAX (MOA Annex) Bldg. behind MOA Arena. They will provide a free shuttle for all the guests but you NEED to inform the groom/bride regarding your plate number at least 1 or 2 months before the wedding.
-
I will not be able to attend the wedding, can I invite someone to replace me?It depends, inform the groom and/or the bride first at least a month before the wedding.
-
What attire should I wear?For Principal and Secondary Sponsors, you are all required to wear formal gown. Other guests should follow a semi-formal attire during the wedding.
