Jessi A. Sent on 08/16/2022Perfect Destination & Great Service
We had our wedding on May 28th here and it was a great experience all around. Amnel was the absolute best with answering all of my questions as I was planning a destination from Minnesota. He was very patient with us as we were trying to understand the layouts & spaces available. My husband and I actually decided to visit in January to meet with all of our vendors before the wedding and Amnel set up a food tasting for us! Such a fun experience that we didn't think we'd get to have with a destination wedding.
We ended up having 87 guests with our ceremony/cocktail hour on the Green Area & reception in Las Brisas. Everyone was raving about the hors d'oeuvres and our signature cocktail (coconut mojito). The staff was so kind as they were passing out appetizers and one of them even wanted to get a picture with us newlyweds, so sweet! I was nervous about the Green Area being so open to the public but it ended up not being a problem at all with our ceremony at 4:30 and cocktail hour from 5:00-5:45 since guests were clearing out for dinner plans.
Dinner was also delicious and very reasonably priced compared to other venues we were looking at in Puerto Rico. We ended up giving our guests an option between the red snapper, french cut chicken and zucchini spaghetti. French cut chicken was absolutely incredible and we chose the plantain soup (also amazing) with a strawberry salad. Amnel overheard that I love caprese salads so they made one just for me, SO KIND.
I also was very pleased with the bartenders all night. They were having such a fun time, it honestly felt like we were being served by friends and they kept up with our drinking crowd! They even gave me, as the bride, a fancier glass to drink out of because they didn't think I should be drinking out of a plastic cup. It's the little things at this venue, I'm telling ya!
As far as the hotel goes, the staff was very kind and in handed out welcome gifts to our guests staying at the hotel. Natalia was awesome with assisting in that and also with our room block. She was great about keeping us in the loop with where we were at for numbers as we were getting closer to our deadline. Our guests LOVED the pool bar & casino at the hotel. The rooms were nice & we found a lot of random areas for photos in order to change up the scenery. The only negative thing I can think of were the no-see-um bugs, which I realize they can't control. But just something to keep in mind so you're not getting bit up before your wedding. They do offer complimentary bug spray at the towel stand but we didn't realize until after bug bites since you literally cannot see these little bugs! The beach area feels private and there is staff that helps bring lounge chairs out for you. It is also walkable to Vivo Beach Club which I highly recommend eating at their Ocean Lab Brewery. SO GOOD. We also had our rehearsal dinner here which was delicious and conveniently close for everyone.
Anyways, long story long... highly recommend!!! -

Nursmiller@Gmail.com Sent on 08/16/2024Juan Went Above and Beyond for Our Family’s Big Day!!!
We recently had our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding at Isla Verde Courtyard. We can’t say enough great things about our experience, especially thanks to Juan, the event and catering manager. From the very first time we met Juan months before the wedding, when he hosted us during our venue search, he was friendly, insightful, and very proactive. He was just as amazing throughout every communication before the wedding, during our stay, and even after the big day!
Juan went above and beyond in so many ways. He didn’t just help us plan and pull off the perfect wedding—he made our daughter-in-law feel incredibly special. Whether it was buying her coffee when they bumped into each other in the lobby or giving our entire family a personal tour of the wedding day plans, Juan was always there to make sure everything was just right. He even did a second tour the next day when our photographer arrived, making sure everything was ready to go.
The wedding itself was flawless, and I credit Juan’s dedication, expertise, and his calm yet fun demeanor for making it so! Even with a hurricane on the horizon, we felt completely at ease knowing we were in good hands! The catering staff at both the welcome dinner and the reception were phenomenal, and Juan’s presence at each event—though not required—was a true testament to his commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly.
Our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, and a huge part of that is thanks to Juan. If you’re planning an event in Puerto Rico, I highly recommend Isla Verde and working with Juan - he’s absolutely the best! -

Tori Sent on 07/18/2024The most amazing venue!
After researching different venues in Puerto Rico, we landed on the Courtyard Marriott and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we chose this venue over 8 months ago, Juan was there every step of the way to help us make decisions and make the process enjoyable.
The venue itself was stunning, it looked even better in person! We had our ceremony on the green space and the reception in las brisas. Both were the perfect size for our 50 person wedding. The food and drinks were outstanding - they even were able to cater to our vegetarian guests by having a special dish at the buffet just for them!
What truly made our experience was the incredible staff. They were all so sweet and kind, going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Even the bartenders were dancing to the music and having so much fun with us. They even packed up some of our food and desserts to take back to the hotel room after the reception. So kind!
This venue had everything - an amazing beach, pool, staff, food, drinks...the list goes on. Don't hesitate, book this beautiful venue for your wedding. Thank you Juan and the entire team, for making our wedding day an amazing experience! We cannot wait to stay here again the next time we visit Puerto Rico!! -

I could not recommend this venue more. It is absolutely beautiful, it is relaxing and it is in the best location. Amnel, who will help you guide through the entire process, is so kind and helpful. Liana, who will help with a "room block" if that applies, is so responsive and sweet. I truly couldn't have had a more positive experience. I heard from several guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I love this venue and the staff, I can't wait to visit again! -

Wedding and Reception
We had a small wedding on the Sirena Terrace and it was wonderful. The staff was great both during our wedding and the planning period. I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding or picked a better location. -

Chuck K. Sent on 04/01/2024Amnel is the best director you could ask for
All I can say about the Isla Verde Marriott and Amnel is WOW! He went above and beyond for us, consistantly, arranging everything from florist arrive times to recommending barbers for the day of the wedding. I have never seen anyone as professional, open, or dedicated as Amnel, and the day would not have been nearly as successful without him. -

We cannot express enough gratitude to our wedding coordinator for making our special day absolutely perfect. From the initial planning stages to the final moments of our wedding, their attention to detail, professionalism, and unwavering support were invaluable.
Juan took the time to understand our vision and executed it flawlessly. They were responsive to our needs, offering creative solutions and calming reassurance throughout the entire process. Juan ensured that every aspect of our wedding day ran smoothly. The staff took care of us in such a way that shocked us both. We were so happy the entire night and could not stop talking about the attentiveness. Food was also a hit, we received compliments all weekend about the food.
Thank you to the entire staff at The Courtyard Isla Verde! -

We had our wedding here on February 2024. It took us a year to plan all the way from Houston, TX. Amnel made the planning easy, and provided us with a vendor recommendation list, giving me ease and comfort that I would be working with a great team. The attention to details for our wedding, the accommodations, the facilities and resort were all perfect.
We’re a foodie couple and we wanted our guests to have a delicious meal. The three course meal an appetizers were a crowd pleaser. Everything was delicious and served perfectly. Our personal waiter did a wonderful job making sure we were hydrated and comfortable the entire wedding. We received many texts from family and friends thanking us for choosing Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde to celebrate our special day.

We got married at the Courtyard Isla Verde in February 2024, and it was absolutely incredible. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour at the oceanfront green area and reception at Las Brisas. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place and its staff. Juan and his team at the Marriott were extremely communicative and kind. Planning a destination wedding from the US can be stressful, but Juan always quickly answered my questions via email. The grounds are so beautiful and our guests had a great time at the casino, pool, beach and restaurants during our stay. The location is conveniently located very close to the airport and the planes were not as loud as we expected. We only had one take off during our ceremony, which was not a big deal, as we just paused for the 30 seconds. Our entire wedding day was seamless and wonderful thanks to the Marriott staff. The food was so good! Reuben was our awesome waiter at our reception and always made sure we had drinks and ate on time! When comparing prices with other nearby vendors, the Marriott was a lower cost, and I’m so glad we had our wedding there.
The ONLY issue we had was with our room block. For our guests that stayed dates before or after our room block dates, they had to make separate reservations for those stays, which made everything a mess and hard to track. I felt like guests should have receievd our room block rate for their entire stay. Upon check-in, the front desk tried to tell our guests they would have to check-out and back-in on those dates and potentially switch rooms, which caused some chaos. Luckily a manager was able to resolve this so guests did not have to change rooms, but they did have to re-check in for dates outside of our room block. For a well-recognized brand that has weddings every weekend, this should be a much better process, as almost all guests stayed additional days to extend their vacation.
If you are considering getting married here, do it; you will not regret it!!

Maddy Sent on 11/08/2023Amazing Wedding Venue
Our ceremony was in the Green Area of the hotel which was absolutely stunning. It was a bit smaller than expected but everything came together beautifully. I didn’t love that when I walked to the ceremony I had to turn a corner so I saw the groom right away but it really didn’t make a difference. The only downside was the “no-see-um” bugs which are sand fleas that come out at dusk and dawn and made me super itchy. The guests weren’t too bothered. The reception was held in Las Brisas on the second floor which helped with the heat but it was definitely still pretty warm. We didn’t care though, we all danced the night away. The staff was IMPECCABLE, couldn’t say better things about them all. The hotel was so kind and even let us have a little after party in the lobby bar. I couldn’t be more grateful for my experience with the Courtyard Isla Verde. -
