Filipino Traditions at Our Wedding

We are excited to honor Filipino heritage by incorporating a few cultural traditions during our wedding ceremony &amp; reception. These meaningful customs are a way to celebrate pamilya, pag-ibig, at komunidad (family, love &amp; community) - values that are deeply rooted in Filipino culture. Whether you are familiar or brand new to these traditions, we hope you will enjoy this special part of our celebration!

How to Prepare for the Money Dance:- Cash: Typically small denominations ($1, $5, $10s, or more depending on your comfort)- Safety pins: We'll have some on hand, but feel free to bring your own if you'd like to be ready- Dancing spirit: No fancy moves required! Just a smile and a few steps How it Works:1. Wait for the MC/DJ to announce the start of the Money Dance2. Line up to dance with the bride or groom - or both!3. Pin your cash onto their attire (or hand it to a designated help if you're not comfortable pinning)4. Enjoy a short dance and some one-on-one time with the happy couple!

The Groom has never been a fan of seafood, but this restaurant completely changed his mind. The flavors were fresh and balanced, and the dishes were prepared in a way that did not overwhelm. "It was my first time I actually enjoyed eating seafood!"
