Weddings in Manila
Traditions and style
In Manila, weddings are often deeply rooted in Catholic tradition, with a ceremony that includes the veil, cord and coins as symbols of unity, faith and shared provision. Sponsors, known as compadres and comadres, stand close to the couple, and their role is honoured throughout the day. Family is central: weddings tend to be large gatherings spanning many generations, with relatives travelling from across the Philippines and from overseas to share in the celebration.
The wedding cycle usually begins with Pamamanhikan, when the groom's family visits the bride's family to formally ask for her hand and to discuss arrangements. This is followed by the church ceremony and then a reception that often features the money dance, where guests pin banknotes on the couple as a gesture of goodwill and support. Celebrations are warm and welcoming, with food, music and laughter continuing late into the evening. Because so many events are involved, a clear online schedule helps everyone know where to be and when.
Where couples marry
Couples in and around Manila choose a wide range of settings, from historic churches with ornate altars and colonial charm to open-air gardens, hotel ballrooms and riverside venues. The tropical climate means outdoor ceremonies are popular, though many couples plan for the rainy season with covered alternatives. Famous landmarks such as the Intramuros walls and the Manila Bay sunset provide striking backdrops for wedding photographs, and some couples incorporate them into their photo sessions. Whatever the venue, a website with maps and travel notes ensures guests can find their way without confusion.

For guests travelling to Manila
Guests may be travelling from other Philippine provinces or flying in from overseas, so clear information about flights, visas and accommodation is essential. A wedding website with RSVP for every event lets you confirm numbers early, while private links mean each household sees only the events they are invited to. Time zones matter for relatives joining from abroad, so share dates and times in both local time and their own. Dress codes, especially for church ceremonies, should be stated clearly, and details about the money dance or other customs can help first-time guests feel at ease. A guest dashboard also lets families upload photos and track their own plans.

Questions
Wedding websites in Manila: your questions
Do I need a wedding website if most guests are local?
Yes, especially for larger Filipino weddings with several events. A website keeps the schedule, venue maps and RSVP answers in one place, reducing phone calls and misunderstandings. It also lets you send private links to different households so everyone sees only what applies to them.
Can guests from abroad join the ceremony if they cannot travel?
Our Signature package includes a live stream page so relatives overseas can watch the ceremony and key moments in real time. You can also share a private link for viewing the stream without giving access to other private details.
How do I collect meal choices and dietary needs?
Each RSVP form includes meal and dietary choice fields, so you can send accurate numbers to your venue and caterer. Guests can update their answers at any time before the deadline, and you receive a simple guest dashboard with a spreadsheet to review everything.
What if some guests do not use smartphones or WhatsApp?
Every site works on any phone and can be shared by link or QR code. You can also include the website address on printed cards, and the QR code means guests can scan to open the site instantly without typing anything.
