Although we live in an island, beach weddings are not common because Catholic law requires weddings to take place in a Catholic Church. But if you’re really dead set on getting married by the ocean, beach weddings in Boracay are fairly easy to arrange these days. They require a far more planning and budgeting than a Church wedding in the city, but I think exchanging vows as the sun sets over the sea makes it all worth it.
The first thing you should do is keep the guest list short. Even if money is not an issue, fewer guests makes the logistics of flying everyone to Boracay and finding accommodations for them a lot easier. Book your tickets through a travel agent since they offer discounts for large parties. They probably also have hotel packages as well. If not, most beachfront hotels in Boracay like Microtel offer wedding packages, and are flexible about bookings and reservations. Overall, a wedding in Boracay with forty guests should cost you at least Php 400,000.
Wedding suppliers usually charge more for destination weddings, and you might have to also pay for their plane fare and hotel accommodations. Try to find a supplier that won’t charge an arm and a leg for out of town trips. Better yet, ask around for a reliable wedding supplier in Boracay and consider hiring their services.
Finally, remember that it’s never too early to start planning your wedding, especially if it will be held out of town. Start making plans six months before the date and make sure your reservations have been made weeks before the event.
