Things to Consider When Planning a Wedding in Boracay
- Boracay is located in the middle of the Philippines, in the Western Visayas Region. It is a small island off the coast of the mainland of Aklan, which is southwest to the capital of Manila.
- The best time to have a wedding in Boracay is during the dry season between the months of October to April. The weather is not too hot nor too humid, making it the perfect months to have a beach wedding in dreamy Boracay.
- Boracay is about an hour’s flight from the capital of Manila. There is no airport on the island so you’d have to book a flight to the nearest airport to the island, which are either Caticlan or Kalibo. You will then hop on an outrigger boat, which will take you to Boracay in about 10 to 20 minutes.
- An island with a small population, there are a limited number of suppliers and vendors. If you hold your wedding during peak season, chances are, these suppliers and venues will be booked. In such cases, you will have to book your suppliers from neighboring cities such as Cebu (an hour’s flight away) or from Manila (the capital).
- Boracay’s pride and joy is its beautiful, pristine, white sand, and it makes for the perfect backdrop for a surreal sunset beach wedding, which are favored by most couples.
- While many resorts have in-house events coordinator, their services are limited to on-the-day arrangements or what their wedding packages offer. Hiring a destination wedding planner who has executed and planned weddings in Boracay is your best bet.
- Only a small number of resorts can accommodate big weddings in Boracay. Due to recent regulations, only those who have wide beachfronts are allowed to hold weddings on the beach.
- After the 2018 closure of the island, new regulations also prohibit the use of fireworks in certain areas and in places where it is allowed, fireworks can only be used under 9pm.
- A wedding weekend celebration is perfect in Boracay as this famous tourist destination offers a wide variety of activities that everyone can enjoy. Among them are snorkeling, scuba diving, water sports activities, local shopping, and plenty of nightly entertainment.
