Even though Boracay is just a tiny island, it is packed with a multitude of charming locations for a wedding. Whether you want to do it on a pocket beach front, a public but secluded area, or in the midst of the busy Station 1, it has something for you.

If you don’t like the beach, you can always get married near a mountain—Mt. Luho. Being the highest point in Boracay, it offers a great 360 degree view of the entire island.
