I am at a complete loss trying to find the right STD card and am short on time! We are getting married at the San Juan Catherdral and the reception will be at the El Convento in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The architecture is Spanish Colonial. I am trying to find something that will fit. All the STD's seem to be tropical-with beaches and palm trees but I would like to find something that fits the architecture of Old San Juan. I know this is a stretch! Any ideas Thanks! Here is a link to where we will be getting married-sorry I do not know how to attach photos yet! San Juan Hotels, Puerto Rico Luxury Vacations & PR Room Reservations - Hotel El Convento

Thanks Rachiecakes! Your post was very informative.

Sorry! Rachiecakes not ratchiecakes!

ratchiecakes-what exactly does a wedding coordinator do? I want to get one but am curious about what they do. I am also trying to pick a photographer etc..but cannot choose one. All of the different packages confuse me, they all have good photos on their websites, etc... I contacted an entertainment company to get quotes for a DJ and they haven't returned my call...confusing. Maybe the coordinator does all this?

Hi, Just came back from PR and looks like I am going with El Conquistador for May 2009. They are expensive but they offer a lot in one place. Guanica is beautiful! I visited Gran Melia and Rincon Beach Resort. I skipped the San Juan ones although the El Convento looks beautiful and the Gallery Inn.

Welcome! I am also a May Puerto Rico bride. Where are you getting married? I am going to look at places this week!

I am also looking for a good dress in hot weather! I fell in love with two dresses but both are heavy: I would also love to see photos...

Welcome! I am getting married in PR in 2009 also. I am going next month to look at places-but it will likely be El Conquistador in Farjardo. La Villa Montana in Isabela looks nice also. Good luck planning!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Thank you also for the advice-I will check out your recommendations. Samantha, it's nice to put a face to a name finally! Thanks for the recommendation to this site.

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?

Hi! My name is Evie and my boyfriend and I plan on getting married in PR in 2009. We are looking at El Conquistador in Fajardo and a few other places. We plan on having a small wedding (about 30 or so people) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
