Thinking of getting married in our home state, then a symbolic ceremony where we are going on Vacation

My finance and I are not sure if it will be easier to wed in our home state California, however would like a ceremony on the beach in Puerto Rico - where he is from...does anyone know if it is more difficult to get married in Puerto Rico, we will only be there a week so we wont have much time..also i see an officiants price runs about 300 in PR, would it be less expensive for a symbolic ceremony on the beach in PR.....so many decisions so little time!
