Destination Wedding in Puerto Rico? -or open to other destinations

Denna, on May 28, 2019 at 12:52 AM Posted in Planning 0 3
Hi, I am currently planning my wedding, but heard that destination weddings are the way to go if you have a budget and do not mind traveling. Currently our budget is $15,000, we are a bit flexible right now since it is far from now (aiming for Sept 2020). Does anyone know good places in Puerto Rico for a destination wedding in our budget?

Do you think a wedding planner is a good idea since its a destination wedding?

Other tips on planning a destination wedding.

Also, open to looking into other destinations as we are just thinking about Puerto Rico, so our guests won't need passports to go there (just a US ID).

Please comment your experience in going to a destination wedding or planning one!

    I originally wanted my DW in PR as well for the exact same reasons but I couldn’t find an all inclusive resort there so I went with Cancún.. our budget was originally at 10K or less for 30-40guests... we are at 60 guests and looking at 11K.. I had to compromised on a “cheaper” resort to stay on budget.. anyway, your budget is big, how many guests?? Narrow it down to location and look up places there, then compare their wedding packages. We are using a travel agent. My resort also included the wedding planner, I’m sure yours will as well. My FH and I attended a DW and it was amazing, a little disorganized but had the best time ever.. I plan on making things better. Creating the wedding website and keep up to date information about the resort and events.. we are also using the travel agent to take care of my guests bookings so that I don’t get any questions about it. What I’ve learned with my DW is that you have to be patient because the wedding planners do not respond as quickly as I would like to. But my wedding still over a year out so I’m in no rush.. any specifics ask awaySmiley smile

    Congratulations on your engagement Denna! When did you get engaged?

    A destination wedding sounds like an absolute fairytale! Have you or your SO ever been to Puerto Rico before? It looks like such a beautiful island.

    I was browsing through the ideas section and actually found this article that could be really helpful for you to start your research.
