wedding attire
-
We are going for colorful, semi-formal attire. Think summer garden party but a little fancier! We suggest maxi-, midi-, knee length dresses, dressy separates, or a casual suit and tie. If you have a barong or filipiniana you've been wanting to wear, please do!
Remember, the ceremony and cocktail hour are outside on the grassy lawn. It will be around 70 degrees and humid so dress accordingly and wear the appropriate footwear.
Please avoid wearing black, white, cream, ivory, etc. Florals, fun patterns, and colors are highly encouraged! Here are some outfits for inspiration!

Transportation
Whatever you do, do not drive yourself around!!! Driving in Manila makes NYC and LA traffic look like a breeze. Here's what to do instead:
Grab App
Grab is the Uber/Lyft of Philippines. It is available in Metro-Manila but not in Tagaytay.
Download Grab here: Link
Private Driver
You can hire a private driver for around $50-$85/day. Rates vary based on car size. This is what my family and other visitors usually do. Please reach out to us if this is what you want to do and we'll help you find a trusted driver!
Public Transport
While we don't recommend it for long distances or where Grab is available, public transport is available. Learn more here: philippinestravelguides.com/travel-tips/transport-options-philippines/
Getting to the Philippines from the West Coast takes 24-33 hours of travel. With the time difference, you'll arrive 2 days after your original departure date. We recommend flying out between Dec. 27-29th for the best prices and to have enough time to recover from jet lag and adjust to the time difference.
Philippine Airlines is the easiest, fastest way to get there with a 14 hour direct flight from LAX and SEA to Manila. You can buy tickets with them a year in advance at the earliest. They are also earn and redeem partners with Alaska Air - a big win for us Alaska Air girlies!
flights
-
Asiana, Eva, and Japan Airlines also fly to Manila but they add a layover in Asia. Asiana and Eva's pricing is similar to Philippine Airlines. Japan's is more costly but they are part of the oneworld Alliance.
Tip: Change into breathable clothes or shorts before you hop in the customs line. It takes a while and the Air Conditioning is a little lacking.

Thank you so much for making the trip out! We know this is the first trip to the Philippines for many of you. As a type A girly (do I even need to specify which one?), we want to make it as easy for you guys as possible.
Of note, our venue is in Tagaytay- 1.5 hours (depending on traffic) south of Manila where your flight will land. Below is info on getting to Manila, getting to the venue, recommendations, and any other things my neuroticism could think of. Feel free to text with any questions you have though!
