Why all the way out here

We met on a Tuesday, in the queue for bad coffee, and argued about whether the rain would hold. It did not. Our first trip together was El Nido. We were broke, the power cut out twice, and we spent an afternoon sheltering under a banca waiting out a squall. It remains the best week either of us has had. So we are asking you to make the journey too. We know exactly what we are asking — flights, a boat, at least one long day of travel. We would not ask if it were not worth it, and we would not ask anyone but you.

With love,

Peter & Sophia

How to get there

  • Everything happens within the resort grounds — no transfers once you arrive
  • The ceremony is on sand. Flat sandals or bare feet; heels will not survive it
  • Sunset is around 5:45, so the 4:30 start is not flexible — we lose the light
  • Phone signal is patchy and the wifi is honest about its limits. Tell people at home in advance

Everything you need to get here

El Nido is worth the journey but it does take planning. This is everything we wish someone had told us the first time.

Island Formal — Barefoot Friendly

Think linen, loose weaves, and colours that belong on a beach at golden hour. Long dresses and barongs are perfect. The ceremony is on sand, so leave the heels in the room — flat sandals or bare feet, genuinely. It stays warm into the evening but the breeze off the water is real, so bring a light layer for after dark.

Colours we love

Please avoid: White or ivory, Anything you would be sad to get sand on
