Before you ask…we answer!

Questions We Anticipate

General

  • We request you send in your RSVP by March 28th in order to more efficiently coordinate ground transportation and room bookings. If you need an extension, please contact Mara or Krish.

  • While we wish we could invite everyone, due to venue capacity constraints, only named guests can attend the celebration.

  • WE LOVE KIDS, but we are unfortunately unable to accommodate all children. Only named guests (children included) can attend the celebration.

  • As a general rule of thumb, we are going for island formal (i.e. semi-formal / beach cocktail)—please wear whatever makes you feel good and festive!

    Want more specific guidance? Please see our “Wedding Schedule” page for more concrete wedding attire advice.

  • Nope! We want you to be comfortable - please come in island festive / island formal attire!

    If you’re interested in coming in a traditional lehenga / sari / filipiniana for the wedding ceremonies, you are more than welcome to—a number of us in the wedding party will be doing the same!

    For guests in the Philippines and the US: A few places that sell Indian outfits and ship to the Philippines: Kalki Fashion, Pernia’s Pop Up Shop, Aza Fashion. Please allot 1-2 months for the delivery of your outfit.

    For guests outside the Philippines: If you are interested in wearing a barong / Filipiniana, please get in touch with Mara!

  • We are fairly relaxed—please don’t feel the need to be professionally made up! We encourage our guests to come as they are. :)

    However, If you are interested in booking a hair and make up artist (HMUA) on the wedding day/s for you/your group, please get in touch with Mara by the end of June at the latest. Note that this is subject to HMUA availability!

  • No problem—please reach out to the bride or groom directly, or email munchandsnooze@gmail.com :)

Travel

  • A number of countries don’t require visas to enter the Philippines, but please be sure to verify your travel requirements as you plan your trip!

    For US Passport Holders: If you have a US passport, you won't need a visa to travel to the Philippines (for up to 30 days).

    For Indian Passport Holders Generally need a visa to enter the Philippines for tourism. However, you may qualify for visa-free entry for up to 14 days if you have a valid visa or permanent residence permit from certain countries (e.g., the US, UK, or Schengen area) and meet specific conditions, including holding a return or onward ticket.

  • At minimum, we recommend arriving in Davao by the morning of October 2nd, and staying until October 5th. You are absolutely free to stay longer if you prefer—we are curating a list of fun itineraries in the Things to Do page.

    Arrival: We recommend planning to arrive by 12pm as boats traveling to the island are discouraged in the afternoon.

    Departure: We highly recommend that guests book afternoon departure flights and estimate beginning travel to the airport 4 hrs. before your flight.

    The travel lead time of 4 hrs. from the island to the airport applies to both travel route options as it factors in possible wait times in between speedboat schedules of several groups and/or possible traffic via the land trip.

    For more details, see the 'Getting There' page, and feel free to reach out to us for any questions or concerns!

  • YES! As long as your payment is settled by the end of June 2025, you can avail of the discounted wedding rates for nights before and/ or after Oct 3-4. Please make sure to inform the Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation representative facilitating your booking of your complete travel dates.

  • Travel: YES! Please feel free to book your flights to and from Davao / the Philippines! Expect that our wedding coordinator's team will be in touch to arrange your/your group's travel to and from the resort.

    Accommodations: Do not book through the website—We have arranged a special rate for our guests. Please expect a representative from the Dusit Thani Lubi Plantation team to reach out (we are sharing our guest list with them after the RSVP deadline) to confirm and facilitate room bookings & payments separately.

  • We highly recommend that all wedding guests stay at the island resort venue for their comfort and convenience, and special discounted room rates have been extended for our guests.

    If you have any issues or special concerns, please reach out to Mara or Krish.
