Beachfront vows at Punta Bunga, treehouse villa nights for the couple and Caticlan transfers handled by the resort.
The Setting
Shangri-La's Boracay Resort and Spa is on Boracay island in the Philippines, with guests reaching it by a land and sea transfer from Caticlan. The resort's wedding offer is built around outdoor celebrations, and the beachfront at Punta Bunga is the setting the team names for ceremonies and receptions.
This is a full resort rather than a single event space, so a wedding weekend moves between places such as CHI, The Spa, Vintana Café and the treehouse villas. The resort has 219 rooms and villas and faces two quiet beaches. Ask the team how the grounds are laid out and how the beach is shared with other guests on the day.
The day itself
The resort's most recent published outdoor package was built around 50 or 100 guests, with tables of ten and a presidential table for the couple, so ask for the current version. Your reception venue is yours for four hours, and extra time can be added. Expect a stage, dance floor, a DJ for three hours with sound system and a projector, plus a buffet from the resort kitchen, a three tier wedding cake and sparkling wine for the toast. Poi dancers and drummers add a local touch. A beach permit fee applies for the Punta Bunga beachfront. Ask the team about ceremony timing, music curfew, a rain plan and how a legal marriage is arranged.
Where your guests stay
The wedding packages include two nights in a Treehouse Villa for the couple, with breakfast at Vintana Café, and a one hour couples massage at CHI, The Spa. Guests stay at the resort too, with special group rates offered. The package asks for at least 15 guestrooms across a minimum of two nights, so it suits couples with a solid group coming. Land and sea transfers between Caticlan and the resort are part of the offer. Ask the team which flights suit your guests, how long the transfer takes and which months have the best weather.
Use the two included nights to arrive a day early. A massage at CHI and a quiet first evening in the Treehouse Villa beat a rushed check in on the morning of the wedding.
