Wedding 10/13/24

I am so glad my husband and I got married at Jardines! It just so happened there was a wedding expo the day we decided to look at venues and we fell in love. Bly was also amazing throughout the whole process. She was a blast to work with and sad I won’t be seeing her anymore! She made our vision come to life with our decorations. I allowed for her to take creative freedom and she did not disappoint. This venue is so beautiful on its own already. You can’t go wrong with this venue. Many of our guests shared it’s the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever attended. Still floating on cloud 9 thinking about how amazing the day was. Thank you Jardines!!

The best wedding experience we could have ever asked for!

We had our wedding here in August 2022 with about 160 guests. Jardines de San Juan is an absolute hidden GEM! From start to finish, Bly made the entire process fun and seamless! She gave us great advice/recommendations throughout and all of the recommended vendors the venue works with are top notch. Incredibly professional and we were able to relax knowing everything was covered. We can't rave enough about how gorgeous the venue is and how great Bly and her team were! THANK YOU!!
