Destination Weddings in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico makes a beautiful backdrop for a destination wedding, which is why both Puerto Rican natives and non-natives are booking this tropical destination for their nuptials. Puerto Rico's destination wedding popularity may be due to the modern conveniences it offers combined with the lush and untouched tropical scenery. The island offers resort hotels, upscale restaurants, clubs, entertainment, and old world history all on one island.

Enjoying a Convenient Destination Wedding In Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico's close proximity to the United States makes it a convenient location for almost any couple living in the US to fly themselves and guests to share in their wedding ceremony and reception. Reasonably priced flights and hotel rooms add to the appeal of having a wedding in this beautiful tropical setting. Nice weather year-round certainly adds to Puerto Rico's charm. Besides the threat of storms during Hurricane Season (June - November) the island offers great weather for a day at the beach or pool or for sightseeing at the Spanish fort or shopping the little stores in San Juan.

Planning Your Puerto Rico Wedding

You may choose to plan your Puerto Rico destination wedding on your own. You may wish to plan it with the help of a wedding planner. Since Puerto Rico has many similarities to the US, like many of its natives speaking English, there should not be much of a language barrier to planning your own destination wedding in Puerto Rico. However, there may be a delay in locating wedding venues and vendors since you are not familiar with the area.

Another way to go is to hire one of the many wedding consultants who work in Puerto Rico. Some of these wedding consultants work as an employee of the hotel or resort where you are having your wedding. Others work for third-party companies or independently. These planners help to plan every aspect of the wedding from choosing the menu and ordering the cake to hiring a wedding videographer and photographer. This professional help may help to overcome some of the barriers that planning the wedding on your own may bring. Working with planners usually alleviates planning stress on the bride and groom as well.

No matter which way you plan to choose your wedding, plan ahead and do your homework. Even if you are hiring a wedding planner, make sure it is someone who can help you to bring your wedding dream to reality.
