Say “I do” while overlooking the sprawling hills and mountains of Batanes and spice up your traditional wedding in this breathtaking destination up north. Tukon—or Mt.

This wedding venue makes for a solemn ceremony ideal for small weddings, and will definitely provide stunning photos against a view that looks right out of a fantasy film.

5. Baclayon Church

Baclayon Church

This huge church in Bohol is made out of coral stones. From the inside, it looks like it could pass as an underwater church in the lost city of Atlantis. It’s the second oldest stone church in the Philippines (after San Agustin Church) and features paintings of stories from the bible on its walls and high ceiling, as well as relics reminiscent of the Roman Catholic Church's history in the country. The Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Bohol is considered one of the best-preserved Jesuit-built churches in the Philippines and is only six kilometers from Tagbilaran City.
