Harana — Isabel & Mateo

From a shared coffee after class to a lifetime of choosing one another.

Our beginning

A quiet hello became our favorite story.

We met through friends, stayed for the conversation, and slowly built a life filled with Sunday breakfasts, long drives, and laughter that arrives at exactly the right time. We are deeply grateful to celebrate this next chapter with the people who shaped us.

“May this day feel like us: warm, unhurried, joyful, and full of the people we love.”

What time should I arrive?

Registration opens at 3:00 PM. Please arrive no later than 3:15 PM and be seated by 3:25 PM for the 3:30 PM ceremony.

Can I bring a plus-one?

Because the venue has a fixed capacity, seats are reserved for the names listed on the invitation. Your RSVP form will show the number of seats held for your party.

Are children invited?

We love your little ones. Unless a child is named on the invitation, however, the ceremony and reception will be an adults-only celebration.

Will the ceremony be unplugged?

Yes. Please keep phones and cameras away during the ceremony. Our photo team will capture everything, and you are welcome to take photos during cocktails and the reception.

What if I have allergies or dietary restrictions?

Please add them to your RSVP response. Our caterer will do their best to provide a suitable meal when informed before the RSVP deadline.

What is the weather usually like?

Tagaytay evenings in January can feel cool and breezy. Bring a light wrap or jacket, especially if you plan to enjoy the outdoor areas after sunset.
