What can you recommend for a private San Juan wedding?
My fiance and I are going on a week-long honeymoon cruise that leaves San Juan, Puerto Rico docks at 10pm on March 2nd of 2008. We would like to get off our plane, go to a private area and have a brief wedding ceremony, eat a nice dinner in San Juan in our wedding garb, and get on the boat (still in our wedding garb). We want to keep this is simple as possible- NO fancy decorations, NO big wedding cakes- I’m even bringing my own boquet.
I’ve been combing the internet for weeks and keep coming across the same issue- people wanting 1000+ just to coordinate- this doesn’t include cost of beach reservation, officiant, and license arrangement. I’m so frustrated I can hardly stand it. We just want 30 mins- in and out- no muss no fuss. I can arrange my own photographer, my meals, etc.
A question for PR locals- is it cheaper, do you think to start searching outside of San Juan? Can you recommend places?
I would sincerely appreciate all info you can provide.
If you are catholic, you can try to get married in a church, Stella Maris Parish (they do English ceremonies) is a very nice church in the Condado area of San Juan. If you are protestant you can try Union Church (interdenominal church). You can then make a reservation in a nice restaurant like Ajili Mojili for dinner. That won’t cost you that much.
