About

ASK ABOUT OUR PUERTO RICO WEDDING PACKAGES AT THE RUINS!!

Ruinas Faro Punta Borinquen, or simply The Ruins, is one of the most historic and unique spots in Puerto Rico, as well as a truly magical spot for Puerto Rico destination weddings and elopements on the beach. An elaborate lighthouse was built on this location by the Spanish in 1889. In 1918, an earthquake struck the area and damaged the beautiful building irreparably. Over the past century, nature has reclaimed The Ruins, enhancing its rustic beauty. Not only are The Ruins perfect for a sunset wedding, the photo opportunities are endless both on the property as well as the deserted beach where it sits. Take a look at our video, and contact us for more details about having your Puerto Rico destination wedding at The Ruins!

The Ruins was recommended by our wedding planner. Even though I grew up on the island I never had the pleasure of visiting this breathtaking piece of heaven. Our music were the waves crashing in the background! We even danced to it.
Various settings to chose from.... facing the ocean, on the Ruins platform, view of the ocean and mountain. Varied photo backgrounds for sure.

Ashley was wonderful. Very kind and patient, she quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had. Considering we planned our trip at the last minute, and from NY she made everything easy. I had no worries. Our ceremony was simple and elegant, and Ashley seemed like a mind reader, choosing the perfect vows. The location was beautiful, although crowded on the day chosen, so we opted for further down the beach instead. All and all a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Ashley for your Puerto Rico wedding!

The Ruins in Aguadilla were simply breathtaking. The pictures truly do not give the area justice. From the the history of the ruins, the lush greenery and the lovely crashing waves. You get it all here in one place. So many options for pictures and the colors pop in your pictures.

It is a beautiful venue. We absolutely loved it and the pictures turned out well. There was no one else there and that is what we wanted, a private, secluded ceremony. It was a two hour drive for us from the Condado area.

This was an excellent spot for an outdoor wedding. We eloped so it was just the two of us. In pictures, The Ruins looks absolutely gorgeous. The downside is it's technically public so not the best for complete privacy but if you don't mind anyone walking by and looking, it's perfect. Best part is that it is FREE. We were originally going to rent El Morro which was gunna cost us upwards of $300-$400 so freewas a great perk! Two hints. 1) If you are staying in San Juan, I highly recommend at least one night out near Aguadilla. It can be a long drive. 2) If you rent a car and plan to drive here, shoot for the SUV. It is a bit off road so it was difficult for our tiny Kia.

If you are thinking about getting married in Puerto Rico, Ashely is the person you want to handle the ceremony. She eliminates any added stress and always quick to respond to all questions/concerns. Follow her guidance for obtaining a marriage license and it really only takes about 10 min. We did our paperwork in San Juan and the process was very smooth. As for the Wedding itself, we had it at The Ruins. It was amazing. Ashley had everything set up and was ready once we arrived. Her photographer and video crew do amazing work and are very professional. Hands down a class act, and a great experience. Also, listen to her recommendations for places to eat or stay. She will not disappoint you! If you use The Ruins as your location, you also have to eat dinner at La Vista Smoke House- a great view with even greater BBQ.

Ashely- Thank you so much for making it our wedding a romantic and remarkable experience.

Absolutely stunning! The ruins was beyond my expectations. the wave hitting against the rock and the beautiful charm of the light house was a great touch and perfect venue for our ceremony. Thank you Ashley for everything I cant say enough about how great you and your team was with everything. We are extremely happy with how everything turned out.

Ashley was fantastic and helped to make this a special day. The location was fantastic, everything that we hoped that it would be. The ruins make a great background for pictures, and the ocean was many beautiful shades of blue. Very pleased with everything.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
