Choose the question you need answered first
A wedding plan becomes easier when you separate eligibility and documents from your ceremony preferences. Start with the question that currently prevents you from taking the next step. You can explore the legal requirements while discussing your ideal celebration, but keep unconfirmed dates flexible.
| Your question | Where to start |
|---|---|
| What requirements apply to a U.S. citizen? | U.S. citizen marriage requirements |
| Which records should we prepare? | Document preparation checklist |
| How should I plan my stay? | Wedding timeline and travel plan |
| What should our total budget include? | Full wedding-trip budget |
| Which assistance package fits us? | Compare the three packages |
Your starting brief
Write down your citizenship, your partner’s municipality, both partners’ current marital status and a realistic travel window. Agree on a comfortable budget and whether you want a ceremony only, a honeymoon or an intimate celebration. These details help turn a general question into a useful discussion of your next steps.
If you live in the United States but are not a U.S. citizen, use the guide for foreign nationals living in America. Residence and nationality are different facts, and both should be stated accurately in an official enquiry.
What assistance can organize
Private assistance can help you organize questions, prepare a working checklist and coordinate the tasks agreed in your proposal. The receiving authorities decide eligibility, accepted documents and official applications. If either partner has been married before, raise this early so any question requiring legal advice is addressed before reservations become difficult to change.
Keep the ceremony and future residence plans separate
Your Philippine wedding, your marriage record and any future U.S. immigration application are separate matters. Our advertised packages concern marriage assistance and the agreed celebration or honeymoon arrangements. Use the appropriate official guidance for questions about immigration or recognition for a particular purpose.
