Smile Puerto Rico Brides!

Just thought I would make a thread for us since there doesn't seem to be too much info on here regarding PR.

I will be married in PR at the Hotel El Convento in Old San Juan.
San Juan Hotels, Puerto Rico Luxury Vacations & PR Room Reservations - Hotel El Convento

I'll be posting what I like & which vendors I will be using in this thread.

Afterwards, we will be sailing on our honeymoon aboard the Carnival Victory out of SJ.

Any other PR Brides?

...oops! I absolutely did not mean to disrespect the forum's rules. It's a natural instinct that I must learn to curb while on here.

El Convento is lovely. Be sure to take advantage of the "Rogativa" area that's just a short walk down the road from the Hotel's main entrance. It is a wonderful place to have photographs taken after the ceremony. "Paseo Princesa" is also nearby, although a bit more of a walk from the hotel. El Convento itself affords some unique old Spanish Colonial arquitecture that lends itself to photo ops.

You will absolutely enjoy your wedding experience there.

Cheers,

- James

Hello, I was wondering if you had a wedding coordinator and if so who you went with? Also what D.J are you using?

I am going to PR the end of September to look at venues. I am going to take a look at El Convento. It looks beautiful but how did you choose this place over others?
