Sample Itinerary & FAQs

Question

A note from the bride

Answer

I’m so excited to share my favorite place in the world with you. This island holds a special place in my heart. I hope you get to soak in its vibrant culture, hear the sweet sounds of coquí frogs at night, watch abuelos play dominoes in the plazas of Old San Juan, and feel the rhythm of salsa and merengue around every corner. From the colorful streets to the stunning beaches and rich history, there’s so much to explore. Puerto Rico has been through a lot, and while some things have changed, its heart and magic remain. I can't wait for you to experience the charm, spirit, and warmth of this island I love so much. PS - Thank you Chase for letting me have our wedding here. Just add it to the list of ways you make life sweeter 🤍

Question

Do I need a passport to enter Puerto Rico?

Question

Are kids allowed?
