Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Yes there is allocated parking in the Alta D' Tagaytay compound but you will need to walk to the venue, which is a challenge if uphill. It is advisable that seniors, PWD, pregnant women, and children are dropped off either at the hotel lobby wherein a shuttle can bring you (starts at 1PM).

Please take note that our ceremony will take place in a chapel that has a limited capacity of 140pax. Priority will be given to the entourage and their immediate family. In case you arrived and there are no more seats available in the chapel, you may head back to the lobby of the hotel, or enjoy the view outside until the ceremony ends. Thank you for underrstanding!

We all love your children, but due to necessity rather than choice, we regretfully cannot accommodate them at the venue. The only children attending are those part of the entourage. We hope you understand and enjoy your night off!

What happens if I am unable to RSVP on time?

In case we do not receive a response, we consider that you won't be able to join us by default. As such, we may have reallocated your seat(s) to other guests.

Thank you for understanding.

I RSVP'd NO, but I will now be able to attend...

Please let us know as soon as possible, but do understand that we may have already reallocated your seat(s) to another party. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the same number of seats or one at all. We'd be more than happy to check availability of seats, but please do not be offended if we really won't be able to accomodate you.

Question

Do you have a gift preference?

We'll be starting our married life in a very tiny condo unit, so it would be a challenge to fit another set of plates :) If you're considering a gift to help us in our journey, a contribution to our savings/honeymoon would be lovely!

Question

What time will the reception start?

Answer

Registration starts at 4PM wherein appetizers and refreshments will be served. During this time you can enjoy the view and take lots of pictures. Make sure to find our walking photobooth so that you can also have a professional photo taken anywhere at the venue! The program will start at 5:00 PM, and we estimate food to be served by 6:00 PM.

Am I allowed to take pictures/videos during the ceremony?

Our dream wedding is a solemn ceremony where everyone is fully present without any distractions coming from gadgets. Don't worry we will be sharing all photos that will be made by the professional photographers we hired to capture the most important moments. Right after the ceremony, we won't hold you back from taking pictures. In fact, we highly encourage everyone to snap away and share your photos via social media using the hashtag #OfficiallyMAIfaMELy #AkingTahananMelAtMai
