Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Cocktail-conservative. We would like to request for our guests to observe the following guidelines respectful of an Iglesia Ni Cristo wedding. For women: no high slits, backless, plunging neckline, nor exposed shoulders. If you have tattoos, please cover them up as much as possible. If you want to consider the color palette we chose for our wedding, it consists of beige, tan, brown, butter, caramel, sage and mustard. Please avoid wearing white as we want to exclusively reserve that color for the bride. Thank you so much!
Question
What time should I arrive for the ceremony?
Answer
The wedding ceremony is treated as a worship service. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the ceremony to be properly seated. Orderliness is strictly observed. Please follow the instructions of the ushers. Men are seated to the left, women to the right.
Question
Can I bring and take pictures with my phone?
Answer
Absolutely! However, please silence your phones before entering the chapel for the ceremony. During the procession, kindly refrain from sticking your phones out into the center aisle. We would like to reserve that space for our photographer and videographer to capture once-in-a-lifetime moments perfectly. Of course, we encourage everyone to take photos and videos during our special day and share it with us! Please and thank you!
Question
Are you accepting gifts?
Answer
While your presence is enough to celebrate with us on our special day, if you are moved to give us a gift, it would be greatly appreciated! Cash or contributing to our honeymoon and home fund is preferred. Thank you so much for your generosity! We love you!
Question
Can I bring a plus-one?
Answer
Because we wanted a small, intimate wedding, we chose a venue that can accommodate only up to 50 people. We have carefully considered our guest list. Everyone in the guest list received an invitation. No plus-ones. Thanks for understanding, we love you!

Please allow at least 10 minutes to arrive before cocktail hour begins to give our vendors ample time to set things up. Thank you!
