Répondez s'il vous plaît

Kindly RSVP

Please reply by 30 November 2026.

We give the venue our final numbers that day. An invitation we have not heard back on by then can no longer be held, so please send word either way. A no is just as helpful to us as a yes.

One form per guest, please. It is how the seating chart gets built. If you are replying for a household, add each name.

In case you are wondering

Questions

  • May I bring a plus one?

    We are keeping the day small and close, with only the people who have truly shaped our story in the room. That is why every seat is reserved by name, and your invitation shows exactly how many are held for you. We hope you understand, and we cannot wait to spend the day with you.

  • Where are the ceremony and reception? How do I get between them?

    The ceremony is at Sto. Niño de Pasion Parish, and the reception follows at Villas at Casadea. The drive between the two takes about five to ten minutes.

  • Where do I park?

    Parking at Sto. Niño de Pasion Parish is limited, so come a little early or share a ride if you can. Villas at Casadea has ample parking, so the reception is covered.

  • What time should I actually arrive?

    Half past twelve. The doors close when the processional begins at one, and there is no graceful way back in.

  • Do I need to buy my own entourage outfit?

    Yes. So that everyone is comfortable and genuinely likes what they are wearing, we are asking the entourage to source their own outfits. Please keep to our colour theme of earth and muted tones, and to a formal long dress or a barong. The swatches, and a few places that stock them, are under Dress code.

  • Is the ceremony unplugged?

    Yes. Phones away for the ceremony itself. We have a photographer, and we would rather see your faces than your screens. Photograph everything you like from the reception onwards.

  • Can we bring physical gifts to the venue?

    Your presence is our greatest gift. If you would still like to bless us, a contribution towards our future home fund, by e-wallet or in a cash envelope at the reception, would be deeply appreciated.

  • What happens if it rains?

    February is dry season, but the reception garden has tents and we can seat everyone under them. Nothing moves and nothing is cancelled.
