We want to ensure that your journey is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Here are some travel information and tips:
✈️ FLYING IN
Mactan-Cebu International Airport (CEB) is the closest airport to the wedding venue. For overseas guests, CEB is about an hour and half flight from Manila International Airport (MNL). However, we highly recommend taking a connecting flight from other nearby countries ie. Singapore, Hong Kong.
All travelers arriving in the Philippines are required to register and complete entry travel form on https://etravel.gov.ph/ at least 72 hours prior to arrival.
From the airport, you can hail a white taxi or book via "Grab" app (local version of Uber). Venue is around 25 minutes ride. "Grab" app links for Android or Apple. If travelling by taxi, please ensure the taxi is metered to avoid getting ripped off. Taxi/Grab cost to the venue is estimated ₱400 - ₱500.
