Questions

What does “Formal / Gold accents” mean?

Cocktail or formal attire, please — a barong or suit for the gentlemen, a long dress or elegant terno for the ladies. A touch of gold is warmly encouraged for the photos.

Is there a Mass before the reception?

Yes. Ising & Nena renew their vows at a 4:00 PM Mass at San Francisco Church, followed by cocktails and dinner at The Avenue Plaza. Come to both, or meet us at the ballroom.

Where should out-of-town guests stay?

We’ve arranged rates at The Avenue Plaza (the venue itself) and nearby hotels — see “Where to stay” below and mention the anniversary for our block.

What about gifts?

Truly, your presence is enough. If you wish, you may sign the memory book, give to their chosen charity, or add to their trip to Baguio — details in the Gifts section.

Your presence is the gift

Gift Ideas

Your presence is truly all we ask for. Should you wish to give, a little toward the couple’s dream trip to Baguio is warmly welcomed.
