If you prefer a more conventional and/or traditional wedding in Puerto Rico, there are alternatives ranging from a small chapel to a spectacular church or temple of the couple’s chosen denomination.

Puerto Rico is also the perfect setting for theme weddings. You can say “I do” in Old San Juan’s historic atmosphere, amid the greenery of our unique rainforests or at charming countryside venues, among countless other alternatives. More adventurous couples can choose to marry in caves carved out by underground rivers or on a zip-line platform for an undeniably unique and adrenaline-filled ceremony.

In terms of reception venues, existing options are almost limitless: historic mansions, centuries-old forts, intimate antique churches, majestic mountains, hotel ballrooms, outdoor terraces, gazebos and pristine beaches in 5-star resorts with celebrity chefs. Puerto Rico is also perfect for the couple’s honeymoon as hotels throughout the island offer special-package deals for newlyweds. Talk to our wedding coordinators; they can also help you here.

Getting married in Puerto Rico is very easy—and certainly less complicated than in other destinations. Go to www.seepuertorico.com/en/experiences/lifestyle/weddings to learn more about local requirements. As of June 2015, couples of any gender or sex can get married in Puerto Rico.
