Here are answers to some questions you might have about our special day. If you need more information, don't hesitate to reach out!
For the civil ceremony at Carmen Municipal Hall: Smart casual attire is appropriate.
For the beach reception at Sea Eagle: Beach formal or resort elegant — think flowy dresses, linen suits, and comfortable yet stylish outfits. Earth tones and muted colors are preferred.
Here are our suggested colors:
Please avoid wearing white, ivory, or black. The bride is the only one in white! Also, consider wearing comfortable shoes for the beach!
Due to venue capacity, we can only accommodate guests who have been specifically named on the invitation. Please check your invitation for the names included.
If you received a plus one, their name or "and Guest" will be indicated on your invitation.
While we love your little ones, we have chosen to make our wedding an adult-only celebration (18 years and above). We hope this gives you a chance to relax and enjoy the evening!
The only exceptions are children who are part of the wedding entourage.
We kindly request an unplugged ceremony — please keep your phones and cameras put away during the ceremony so we can all be fully present in the moment.
Our professional photographer and videographer will capture every precious moment. Feel free to snap away during the reception and share using our hashtag #SheenaSaysYesToJohn!
Please RSVP by December 30, 2025 — that's one month before the wedding. This helps us finalize arrangements with our caterers, venue, and other vendors.
You can RSVP through our website or by contacting us directly. We truly appreciate your timely response!

The journey is approximately 2-3 hours. Transportation arrangements will be coordinated — please contact us for details or if you prefer to travel independently.
Don't worry — we have a Plan B! The civil ceremony will take place indoors at Carmen Municipal Hall. For the beach reception, Sea Eagle has covered areas and contingency plans in case of rain.
January in Davao is typically pleasant and cooler — perfect for our celebration! Evenings by the beach are pleasant and breezy.
