Q&A

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than July 1st, 2023 so we can plan accordingly. If we do not receive your RSVP by this date, unfortunately we won't be able to make changes to our guest list and can't guarantee your spot. Thank you for your understanding!

Question

Where can I book accommodations?

Answer

If you'd like to stay at a hotel, we recommend Edsa Shangri-la in the Mandaluyong-Ortigas area, The Crowne Plaza in Ortigas, The Park Inn by Radisson on North Edsa-Quezon City, and Novotel in Cubao as these are all fairly close to the venue, The Gallery MiraNila. We also recommend booking an Airbnb in the Quezon City, Ortigas, or Mandaluyong area.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Since the theme for our wedding is "Contemporary Filipiñana" we would love to see you all dressed in traditional Filipino attire! That means a baróng with slacks or dark denim or a Filipiñana dress. But if you'd prefer not to follow the theme, we ask that you wear cocktail attire for the wedding: a suit and tie, dress shirt, or long sleeve shirt/polo with slacks for male and maxi/tea-length dress for female. Please avoid casual wear like jeans or shorts with sneakers, and out of respect for the bride, avoid wearing white/ivory/cream dresses. Since our ceremony will be outdoors with weather permitting, we recommend wearing breathable clothes (Manila humidity is no joke!) and comfortable shoes (especially for when it's time to hit the dance floor).

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Please arrive by 2:30PM so that we can begin the ceremony promptly at 3:30PM.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Unfortunately, due to venue capacity limits we are only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.

Question

Are children allowed at the wedding ceremony and reception?

Answer

Unfortunately due to space limitations at our venue, we are only including children from our family and the bridal party.

Question

What does an "unplugged ceremony" mean?

Answer

We kindly ask that you put your devices away during the ceremony. We've hired amazing photographers and videographers to capture all the beautiful moments on our big day, so we respectfully ask that you simply enjoy these with us and leave the documentation to our professionals during the actual wedding ceremony - but once the cocktail hour starts please feel free to pull out your phones and take plenty of photos, videos, stories, TikTok's, Reels or whatever else you fancy using our hashtag #TimSeanaAllmayAbigail And of course, we'll be more than happy to share the pictures and videos taken by our photographers/videographers.

Question

Will there be alcohol served?

Answer

Yes, we will be having a mobile bar with 100 servings of Filipino themed cocktails we chose ourselves! Additional alcoholic beverages will also be served.

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be outdoors, weather permitting. The reception will be held in the function hall with outdoor access to the patio and lawn areas.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

The newlyweds will have photos taken with their bridal party and families while guests enjoy the cocktail hour with music, drinks, and hors d'oeuvres on the patio and in the function hall.

Question

Where is your gift registry?

Answer

We do not have an actual gift registry as we eventually plan to move from the Philippines to the United States within the next few years. If you would still like to give us something, you can contribute to either our "Newlywed Fund" and/or "Honeymoon Fund" here on the website. We are also accepting gifts through cash, checks, money order, Venmo @TimothySean-Ignacio or PayPal @sobrangitm (for those in the US) and G Cash 09171444289 Timothy Sean Ignacio (for those in the Philippines)

Question

What should I do if I cannot attend the wedding festivities?

Answer

You will certainly be missed! If you cannot attend the wedding, please RSVP "no" here on our website or contact us directly so we can plan accordingly.
