Best Venues for Destination Weddings in Puerto Rico

by Cynthia

This post is all about Destination Weddings in Puerto Rico. If you’re looking for the ultimate stress-free location, you should consider a destination wedding in Puerto Rico, because it offers the charms of a Caribbean getaway without all the hassles of passports, visas, or foreign currency!

Traveling to the island is quick and convenient, but it will seem like worlds away with its towering palm trees, old-world architecture, and crystal blue waters.  Just catch a plane from the East Coast and you’ll be basking in the sun in less than three hours.  But remember- you need birth certificates and blood tests for a Puerto Rican marriage license so you can’t leave all your paperwork at home!

There are tons of picture-perfect backdrops in Puerto Rico. You and your new spouse can walk hand in hand along the cobblestone streets of San Juan while taking in the 16th and 17th-century architecture.  You also have the option of getting married on the beach, a botanical garden, tropical rain forest, by the mountains, or even a waterfall.

For all of its advantages, there is one drawback to destination weddings in Puerto Rico.  They come with a higher price tag than other Caribbean wedding destinations.  But if you’re set on having a destination wedding in Puerto Rico, you’ll be glad to know that prices drop during hurricane season, which lasts from June to November.  Many couples find that destination weddings in Puerto Rico are worth the chance of getting a little wet!

Best Locations for Destination Weddings in Puerto Rico

Best Venue for a Secluded Puerto Rico Wedding

My favorite venue for a destination wedding in Puerto Rico is El Conquistador Resort.  The first time I visited this hotel, it took my breath away.  It is located high above the Caribbean ocean on a 300-foot cliff that offers sweeping and dramatic views of the island.

It is secluded and far from San Juan, but you can’t beat the luxury and views you’ll get at this venue.  If you’re looking for something unique and awe-inspiring…this is it!

They have an awesome selection of venues including various outdoor terraces with views of El Yunque Rainforest.  You can also exchange vows perched on a cliff with panoramic views of the ocean.

If you want a gorgeous beach wedding, you can tie the knot in their very own private island, Palomino.  This unspoiled paradise is less than a 10-minute boat ride away from the main resort and it is amazing!

 

Best Venue for a Wedding in San Juan

If you’re drawn by the architecture of Old San Juan, Hotel El Convento is the perfect venue for your destination wedding in Puerto Rico.  At this small luxury hotel, with only 58 rooms, you can expect a wedding at the height of elegance as you are surrounded by marble, mahogany, and stained glass!

If you’re planning a Catholic ceremony, you can’t beat the convenience of having The San Juan Cathedral (the second oldest in the western hemisphere), right across the street.

As an added bonus, Old San Juan streets and El Morro will make beautiful backdrops for your pictures, such as this gorgeous shot by Chris & Becca – Puerto Rico Wedding Photographers.

Aguadilla Puerto Rico Wedding Venue

Casa Herdz is a private 8,900 square foot oceanfront villa with 7 bedrooms.  It only sleeps 16 people but can host a wedding of up to 150 guests.   So your closest family and friends can stay in the villa with you while the rest of your guests stay at a hotel nearby.

If you’re planning a destination wedding, Puerto Rico is one of the most amazing places you can choose! And these venues will definitely help make your big day memorable!
