Jon & Ashley

Brand new as of November 2025, this is the most spectacular venue on the island. Set on a private 483-acre nature reserve between El Yunque rainforest and 2 miles of golden beach — just 30 minutes from San Juan airport. Ceremonies can be on the beach, an oceanfront lawn, or under a pavilion surrounded by tropical trees. Over 25,000 sq ft of indoor/outdoor event space. Full spa for the bridal party. Perfect for a 3-4 day destination wedding weekend — golf, kayaking, rainforest hikes, and an inflatable water park for the kids.

One of the most recognizable venues in Puerto Rico — the curved white shell architecture and seashell-shaped pool are iconic. Located in the heart of Condado with 10 different event spaces including a stunning rooftop with lagoon and coastline views at night. Perfect for couples who want a city-beach vibe with tons of energy, dancing, and a reception that goes late. Walking distance from great restaurants and nightlife for the wedding weekend.

One of Puerto Rico's most storied wedding venues — hosting celebrations since 1949. Sits on its own private peninsula between the Atlantic and San Juan Bay with a genuinely private beach, which is rare for a city hotel. Historic, grand atmosphere. Close to the airport and walkable to Condado restaurants. Excellent for large, formal weddings with classic Caribbean elegance.

Rincón is the coolest town in Puerto Rico — laid-back, surfer-bohemian, known for the most jaw-dropping sunsets on the island. The Rincón Beach Resort has direct oceanfront ceremony space with the Caribbean as your backdrop, capacity up to 220 guests, and a Grand Flamboyant Ballroom for the reception. This is the pick if you want the wedding to feel like a real Caribbean escape rather than a city hotel. Given Ashley loves beaches, this one would likely resonate most.

A stunning Spanish Colonial hacienda at the base of El Yunque rainforest — lush gardens, old-world architecture, tropical flowers everywhere. This is the pick for couples who want something dramatically different from a beach resort. No ocean view, but the rainforest atmosphere is magical. Great if Ashley's Costa Rican roots make her feel at home in a garden/jungle setting. Boutique and intimate — perfect for smaller guest lists.

The single best option in Puerto Rico for an intimate beach ceremony. Situated on 2 acres of pristine oceanfront land between Shacks and Jobos beaches on the magical northwest coast. A romantic natural forest path leads directly to the beach. Run by Elaine and the Fusion Floral team who handle everything — florals, photography, catering, officiant, legal marriage license. Reviewers consistently call it stress-free, magical, and affordable. The reception happens under a massive flamboyán tree on the terrace with a converted horse trailer as the bar. This is exactly what Ashley is describing.

The most beloved intimate beach resort in Puerto Rico among wedding photographers who've shot there for years. Set on 35 acres with 3 miles of pristine beach — the ceremony is at a gorgeous flower-surrounded oceanfront gazebo right on the beach. Guests enjoy cocktails on the oceanfront lawn after the ceremony while photos are taken. Reception at the acclaimed Eclipse Restaurant or Garden Ballroom. Full weekend experience: welcome dinner Friday, wedding Saturday, send-off brunch Sunday. Feels like a beautiful private home, not a commercial hotel. Perfect for 20–50 guests who want to all stay on-site together.

A 2,000-acre clifftop property on the northwest coast where the ocean is directly below — ceremonies feel more dramatic here than almost anywhere else on the island. The sound of waves is constant. Afternoon light turns golden against limestone cliffs. Multiple ceremony spots including cliff-side lawn, terrace with exotic gardens, palm tree fields facing the ocean. Farm-to-table cuisine by renowned Chef Jeremie Cruz. Named one of the 10 Best Beach Hotels in the Caribbean by ABC News. Best for couples who want total exclusivity and are comfortable with a slightly higher price.

Set on a half-mile of private beach amid 20 acres of tropical gardens on Puerto Rico's south coast. The south coast has calmer, clearer water than the north — less wave action, better for photos, and the drier southern climate means lower rain risk even in July. Full-service resort with restaurant, spa, villas. Great option if you want a genuine private beach experience away from the tourist crowds of San Juan and the northwest. More tranquil and secluded feel.

Puerto Rico's dedicated leader in elopements and small beach weddings. This is a planning service, not a fixed venue — they bring the ceremony to the most beautiful beaches across the island, including Puerto Hermina in Quebradillas and Guajataca Tunnel in Isabela. Perfect if you want flexibility on location and a fully handled, stress-free experience. They handle officiant, legal license, florals, photography, and logistics. Their "Barefoot on the Beach" package is built exactly for 2–50 guests who want sand under their feet for their vows.

A sprawling full-service resort near Bahía Beach with a dedicated beachside event space for outdoor ceremonies and celebrations right on the oceanfront. Spectacular backdrop of both the Caribbean and El Yunque rainforest in the distance. The resort has multiple restaurants, a spa, casino, and two championship golf courses — guests will never run out of things to do during a wedding weekend. Great for larger groups that still want a beach ceremony. Close to San Juan (~45 min) compared to the northwest coast venues.
