Memorable moments go hand in hand with unforgettable locations and if that special occasion is a wedding, then it is no surprise that so many love birds choose Puerto Rico to celebrate their union.

Couples say “I Do” in all sorts of places: By the sea, on a boat, in the sky. That’s not to say the traditional church wedding is out. Far from it.

If you want a religious destination wedding or want to break away from tradition, Wedding Ministers will marry you wherever and however you wish but to get hitched on the Isle of Enchantment there are requirements.

With warm tropical temperatures, an infectiously joyful culture and awe-inspiring scenery, Puerto Rico brims with adventures that add up to a fun-filled girls ‘weekend and great place to celebrate the bride-to-be’s last stretch of singlehood.

Happy couples dancing inside an iconic building designed by MoMA architect Edward Durell Stone greet their guests among masterpieces by Jose Campeche and Francisco Oller, and pose for photos in front of a soaring sculpture by American pop artist Roy Lichtenstein or outdoors in an awe-inspiring romantic botanical garden.

With its tropical weather, colorful scenery, and vibrant culture, Puerto Rico is ripe for romance. The island is a picture-perfect spot for destination weddings, particularly for American couples who don’t need to secure a passport or visa to get married here.
