Saying that your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life is an understatement. In truth, your wedding day should be the most epic day that you, your family,and your friends could ever experience in your lifetimes.

And nothing can be more fitting for this congregation of love than with a dreamy destination wedding that’s intimately shared between close friends and family.
If you’re thinking about having your dream destination wedding in the Philippines, then these 3 Visayas Region islands will definitely fit the bill and more.
Cebu
Cebu is dubbed as the Queen City of the South for being the 2nd largest metropolitan in the Philippines. This is the center for trade, education, tourism, and culture in the Visayas Region, and it offers the best of both worlds.
If you fancy a 5-star hotel venue, you’ve got an endless list of hotels to choose from: from Radisson Blu to Waterfront Hotel, to the Marco Polo Plaza Hotel, these venues offer ballrooms and world-class cuisine that are to die for.
But if you fancy something more intimate and more tropical, the islands and beaches of Cebu are just a stone’s throw away. You’ve got Mactan Island, where 5-star resorts and spas are at your disposal, such as: the Movenpick Hotel and Resorts, the Shangrila Mactan, or the private island resort of Bluewater Sumilon on the southern part of Cebu.
Whether you choose a city venue or a fancy beach wedding, Cebu has it all for you. The island is also home to some of the country’s best fashion designers, and photographers, so you definitely won’t have any problems looking for all your wedding needs.
Bohol
Another Visayas Region island centrally located in the Philippines, Bohol is a booming tourist destination that boasts of historical churches, 5-star resorts, and perfect white-sand beaches that make for the perfect beach wedding backdrop.
If you want to take full advantage of the historical churches, why not hold your ceremony in the Spanish-style Dauis Church, which was built in 1863; or at Baclayon Church, which was built by Jesuit priests between the 16th and 17th centuries; or at the romantic Mt. Carmel Hill church in Balilihan, which sits on top of a hill giving you picturesque views of fields and mountains.
After saying your “I do’s,” party the night away at any of the 5-star resorts in Panglao Island, where miles of white sand beaches are found, and indoor or outdoor venues are yours for the taking.
Bohol’s bustling tourist industry has made it possible for many resorts to hold not just weddings celebrations and venues, but honeymoons too..
Boracay
Having been named as one of the best beaches in the world, Boracay is definitely one of the Visayas Region islands of the Philippines that top bills as a leading spot for destination weddings.
With talc powder-like white sand and clear, azure waters, Boracay is the very epitome of a tropical island, making it the perfect venue for an unforgettable wedding celebration.
Take your pick from the countless 5-star resorts that dot its incredible shores: Discovery Shores Boracay, The Lind, Shangrila’s Resort and Spa, or the Movenpick Resort and Spa are just some of the biggest names in luxury resorts on the island. Each of these establishments offers that picture-perfect wedding celebration – from dreamy sunset ceremonies right on the beach, to indoor ballrooms that are stunningly beautiful.
And despite Boracay being far-flung from the metropolitan areas of the country, couples still flock to the island simply because it makes for a perfect wedding backdrop, a romantic honeymoon, and a holiday destination too.
