10 Best Wedding Venues in Davao

Davao might not be the most popular wedding hotspot in the Philippines, but one of the country’s main cities still has a lot to offer. Home to many beaches and the country’s highest peak, Mt. Apo, crossing Davao out will make you miss a lot of fun and opportunities to have your dream wedding.
