Cebu Wedding Venues
Cebu is dubbed as the “Queen City of the South.” A metropolitan city, Cebu’s strategic location in the middle of the Philippine archipelago means it has access to all the comforts modern life can afford, while also being incredibly rich with natural resources. Only a 15-minute drive from the city center, several tropical islands and rustic destinations abound, making Cebu a dream wedding destination that offers limitless options when it comes to wedding venues.
Whether you’re looking for a private cove to have a dreamy sunset beach wedding, or a grand ballroom that can host over 500 guests, Cebu has it all for you.
Here is a list of Cebu’s top 5 wedding venues for any kind of wedding, hand-picked by Joyce Bella, a destination wedding planner for Cebu.
