Frequently
Asked Questions.
Travel & Stay
- Are there direct flights from abroad?
Most international guests will connect through Manila (MNL) or Clark (CRK). We recommend flying into Caticlan at least a day before to avoid day-of travel stress.
- When should I arrive and depart?
We recommend arriving the day before, on November 26, to settle in and recover from travel before Sunset Sessions, our adults-only welcome cocktails, begins at 5:00 PM. For departures, November 28 (the day after the wedding) is the earliest comfortable exit. If your schedule allows, stay through November 29 — you might want the extra day.
- How do I get from Caticlan Airport to my hotel?
From Caticlan Airport (MPH), it's a short tricycle or van ride to Caticlan Jetty, followed by a quick boat crossing to Boracay Island.
Most resorts, including Crimson and Discovery Boracay, can arrange your jetty-to-hotel transfer — reach out to your hotel directly ahead of time to confirm pickup details and any associated cost.
What to Wear
- What is the dress code?
Resort Formal. Think elevated, polished, and appropriate for both a Church ceremony and beachfront reception.
For women: Floor-length gowns or refined midi dresses in fluid or sculptural silhouettes. Deep, saturated colors are encouraged.
For men: A long-sleeved, tailored Barong Tagalog in ivory, ecru, or off-white, paired with dark trousers and leather shoes or closed sandals.
Please avoid: White, black, cobalt blue, and pastels of any kind.
- Can I wear heels on the beach or sand?
The cocktail hour and reception are outdoors and beachside. Elegant flat sandals are strongly recommended for comfort.
- Can you recommend hair and makeup artists?
Yes — a few artists we recommend are listed under the Hair & Makeup section of our Dress Code & Attire page, along with their social media pages. Reach out to them directly to book.
- What should I wear to Sunset Sessions?
Resort Casual — think relaxed, breathable, and vacation-ready. Colors are wide open for this one. See the Resort Casual section of our Dress Code & Attire page for outfit inspiration.
RSVP
- How do I RSVP?
Tap the RSVP button on this website — it links out to our WithJoy RSVP page. Please respond on or before September 11, 2026.
- Can I bring a guest or a plus-one?
We would love to celebrate with everyone, but due to venue capacity, we are only able to accommodate the guests explicitly named on your invitation.
- Can I bring my children?
While we love your little ones, we are only able to accommodate the children explicitly named on your invitation due to space constraints at our venues. We hope you can still join us for a weekend of celebration!
The Events
- What time should I arrive at the church?
The ceremony begins at 3:00 PM sharp at Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Parish. Please be seated by 2:30 PM. The church doors will close at ceremony start.
- Is there transportation between the church and the reception venue?
Yes. A shuttle service will be provided from the Church to the Reception venue, as well as scheduled return shuttles to Station 0 and Station 1 hotels later in the evening.
- Is Sunset Sessions open to all guests?
Sunset Sessions is our adults-only Welcome Cocktails. Feel free to leave your little ones and teens at Discovery Boracay — there's a pool and a kids' play room to keep them entertained while you enjoy the evening.
- Will food be served at Sunset Sessions?
Just drinks and pica-pica — it's not a full dinner, so grab something to eat beforehand and after.
Weather & Practical Tips
- What is the weather like in Boracay in late November?
Late November is the tail end of the typhoon season transition, moving into the dry season. Expect warm temperatures (27–32°C), occasional evening breezes, and the possibility of brief afternoon showers. We have contingency plans in place for all outdoor venues.
- Is there a pharmacy or clinic on the island?
Yes, Boracay has pharmacies, a municipal health center, and medical clinics. The nearest hospital is in Kalibo (mainland). For non-emergency needs, the island is well-equipped.
