Los Jardines del Castillo

If you are still on the fence about choosing this as your venue, look no further. Not only does Jardines del Castillo (JDC) give breezy mountain greenery vibes, it feels magical, is absolutely beautiful, and is also convenient. Not to mention the amazing staff that will make your day everything you ever dreamt about. Carol, all the Carlos’s, and the rest of the staff are so kind, respectful, patient and provide amazing service. They truly know how to run an event. Starting from day #1, when we were checking JDC out, the team was very cordial and professional, answered all our questions thoroughly and provided their expertise on overall wedding procedures. Communicating with Carol throughout the planning process was easy and comfortable and her responses were always very prompt. She always shared our excitement! As our day got closer, she contacted me to make sure everything was set to go as planned and was always available for last minute discussions. On our wedding day, the venue was spotless, organized, and ready to go. We all absolutely loved the food (the mamposteao’ rice is AMAZING) and to this day our guests are still talking about it. A big PLUS is that they do not charge a corkage fee if you chose to bring your own alcohol, and the bartenders were really cool and willing to prepare our “specialty drinks” as long as we provided them with the ingredients (passion fruit mojitos and vodka palomas).

The package we selected included a DJ who facilitated the music for the ceremony, cocktail, and reception. As requested by him, I sent him a list of suggested songs to play and not to play during the event, two weeks prior. Don’t get me wrong, the party was fantastic, and our guests were dancing the night away, but he played very little of the songs we requested during the reception. Overall the DJ experience was good, but we felt that the entire process of picking out the party songs was a total waste of time, as he just played what he wanted or whatever our guests requested in the moment.

We would choose this venue over and over again if we were to get married again. It was the venue of our dreams, and we could not have pulled it off without the JDC staff. Carol & the team: my husband and I thank you sincerely for making this day so special and perfect. I wish continued success and business and that many more couples decide to get married at this gorgeous, magical, and special place that is Jardines del Castillo.

Servicio único e excepcional! Carol te lleva de la mano aclarando todas tus dudas e inquietudes. Te ayuda con las ideas y te recomienda profesionales para que tu día sea el mejor de tu Vida.

Querida Carol,

Mi esposa y yo te damos las gracias por hacer de nuestro día tan genuino y especial. Gracias por el trato, consejos y paciencia. Estamos eternamente agradecidos con tu servicio y con tu inigualable empatía. Bendiciones siempre y que Dios te siga abriendo camino para que sigas tocando vidas en el
Santo Matrimonio en los Jardines del Castillo.
Gracias por tanto,

Raymond & Katherine

This venue includes the DJ and catering, which were all PERFECT. This venue is also sooooo beautiful, which helps with the cost of decorations if you are worried about that. Planning a wedding in Puerto Rico while living in Chicago was quite challenging, but Carol was SUPER responsive and willing to answer all of my questions (no matter big or small) via email and phone. We also scheduled a video call to see the venue, scheduled a time to visit in person, and came again for our rehearsal. The DJ was very professional and responsive, and played everything we wanted (we made a Spotify playlist which I think was helpful too). The chef is patient and INCREDIBLE. Everyone loved the traditional Puerto Rican food that was provided for dinner. On the day of the event, Justina was the venue supervisor and frequently checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. She made sure everything ran well. We got ready in the house and were able to leave our belongings in there during the event, which made traveling to/from the hotel less hectic. The bartenders and ushers were also very responsive and quick. Everything at the venue on the day of was PERFECT. We really have no other words to describe how amazing our wedding was, and how so much of the success comes from the amazing and experienced staff at Los Jardines del Castillo. Thank you forever. It was magical.
