While some couples like inviting the whole barangay to their wedding, there are those who like keeping things simple and intimate. Are you planning an intimate wedding with only your family members and closest friends? If you are, then this article’s for you! Scroll along for our top picks on the best small intimate wedding venues in the Philippines.

Since we’re not Metro Manila-centric, we’ve got choices for the three island groups. We’ve rounded up some of the best intimate wedding venues in Rizal, Bohol, Cebu, Davao, and many more!

Intimate weddings are wonderful. They’ve got the style, quality, and glamour of a big celebration but with less stress and only your most cherished loved ones to please. Plus, the smaller a wedding, the more personal and unique it can be, with many ways to add little touches and make your special day all about you as a couple.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect garden venue in Antipolo for an al fresco celebration or a beach resort in Bohol where you can dance the night away, you’ll find the most stunning small wedding venues on our list.

Basco Lighthouse (Naidi Hill, Batanes)

Have you always dreamed of a destination wedding with otherworldly views? Well, you won’t need to fly off to Switzerland or New Zealand. Way up in the northern tip of the Philippines, we have breathtaking Batanes with its rolling hills, limestone cliffs, and clear blue waters.

One of the small intimate wedding venues the island offers is the Basco Lighthouse perched on top of the Naidi Hill. The lighthouse itself is already the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos, but you’ll fall even harder when you see the garden area that boasts tranquil views of the vast Pacific Ocean. It’s a dreamy, romantic spot to hold an al fresco wedding reception, especially since it’s also one of the best areas to catch the famous Batanes sunsets.

Since Basco Lighthouse is a remote place, it’s one of the most intimate wedding venues in the Philippines. You’ll have a fun yet cozy celebration with your closest loved ones and friends and forget about the city life — even just for a moment.
