do's and don'ts
a few words from our suppliers, venue provider and us (the couple)
01
RESPONDEZ SIL VOUS PLAIT!
We request all our guests to let us know within a reasonable amount of time whether or not they will be attending our commitment ceremony. Please note that this event is STRICTLY BY INVITE ONLY as the venue can only accommodate so much. Should you bring a guest with you, please let us know.
02
FLIGHTS/TRANSFERS
Please note that all flights & transfers will be at your own expense (unless we win the lotto *wishful thinking*). We only ask that you let our wedding coordinator, Amanda Tirol, know:
1) When are you flying in to Boracay?
2) When are you're flying out to Manila?
Getting to Boracay will be hassle-free if you let us know in advance so that land/sea transfers can be arranged.
03
HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
As part of our agreement with Shangri-la Boracay, a minimum of ten (10) rooms is required. We ask all our guests to advise us if they wish to book with Shangri-la so that we may inform our wedding coordinator, Amanda Tirol to organise the bookings.
Please note that we cannot shoulder our guests accommodations and flights. We humbly request though that the immediate family/relatives and/or primary sponsors to stay at Shangri-la.
04
GIFTS
As this is a destination wedding, your presence is a present in itself. If you wish to honour us with a gift, we hope that you would just use what you have to secure your flights/ accommodations /expenses to be with us in Boracay. However, if you truly insist on giving us a present, we have set up a money well instead. Due to strict Australian Custom policies and limited baggage allowance, we are limited to what we can bring.
05
ENTOURAGE COUTURIER
Our couturier is "Tito Boy" Kastner Santos (BKS Couture) who is based in Muntinlupa, Philippines. We require our entourage who are not in Manila to go on a Skype session with him by January 2015 (tentative). For our Manila-based entourage, book an appointment with Tito Boy and contact him via Facebook or his mobile +639175513864. He does meet-ups at Bo's Coffee at Glorietta 5 (building opposite of Rustans). Please note that the suits/gowns you will ask him to do for you will be at your own expense. (Let him know what your budget is and try to keep within your budget. okay?) :)
06
KEEP UPDATED
Since we are working 1.5< years from the wedding, there will still be a few changes perhaps on the motiff (luckily we have no colour motiffs yet, so we'll probably announce once we have discussed with Tito Boy).
We will update a schedule of what should be done per month and will also create a facebook page as a way of letting you know if there are changes on this website. Til then, keep posted!
