The Best Wedding Day!

We just got married at Hotel El Convento on March 2, 2024 and have nothing but amazing things to say! We first toured the venue in November 2023. From that first meeting, we knew it was the venue for us. Nelia spent over two hours with us in that first meeting. The care, attention, and consideration she showed to us in that first meeting never wavered over the next year and a half leading up to our wedding. She consistently was available to us to answer questions, answer emails, and get us any information she needed. She was flexible to work with, professional, kind, and compassionate. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt at ease every step of the way. Come our wedding day, this level of service went beyond just Nelia. All of the staff, servers, bartenders, bellhops, front desk attendants - literally everyone and anyone at Hotel El Convento - were amazing. From helping us deliver our welcome bags to guests to ensuring our guests were settled in their rooms to keeping the party going on our wedding night, they all demonstrated what five star service is. We are already planning to return to Hotel El Convento to celebrate our one year anniversary and soak it all in yet again! That should be a testament to how much we cherished Nelia and her whole team throughout not only the planning process but also our wedding weekend.

An Unforgettable Stay at Hotel El Convento

Hotel El Convento in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the epitome of romance and elegance. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with professionalism and warmth by each member of the hotel staff, who went above and beyond to make our special stay exceptional! My husband and I checked into the junior suite for two days and then the hotel helped us move over to the bridal suite (MY FAVORITE - I love the checkered floor) the Friday before our wedding day so we could be comfortable to get ready to walk down the aisle on Saturday!

We are incredibly grateful to Hotel El Convento's Catering Manager, Nelia T. Sánchez Ramos and her dedicated team for their unwavering support and accommodations throughout our wedding planning process. Their close attention to detail and commitment to our vision ensured that every aspect of our special day was flawless.

The wedding rehearsal dinner held in Salon Martorell was nothing short of spectacular. The tapas-style dinner was not only unique but also exquisitely delicious, offering a variety of Puerto Rican flavors that delighted all of our guests. The ambiance of the salon, combined with the exceptional service, made the evening truly memorable.

Our romantic, tropical dream wedding was brought to life with the help of the GORGEOUS venue, Salon Campeche, and all of the incredible members of the catering team. From the beautiful setting to the impeccable service, every moment was filled with joy and love. My husband and I extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every person who played a part in making our wedding day an unforgettable experience.

Thank you, Hotel El Convento, for making our greatest wedding dreams come true. We will cherish these memories forever!
