Welcome! If you’re dreaming of saying “I do” in paradise, you’re in the right place. Planning a destination wedding in Puerto Rico is one of the most exciting journeys you’ll take — but we also know it can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re coordinating from miles away.
That’s exactly why we created this blog. We’re a team of local planners who help couples like you bring their vision to life across Puerto Rico’s most beautiful locations, from the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan to the hidden beaches of Rincón.
Here’s how to get started, stress-free:
💍 Step 1: Choose the Right Time of Year
Puerto Rico has warm, tropical weather year-round, but the best months for weddings are December to April (cooler, drier season). If you’re open to summer, May to July can be gorgeous and slightly more budget-friendly — just plan for some rain and be flexible.
🎯 Tip: Avoid hurricane season (August–October) or make sure you have a solid Plan B in place. Lastly, we strongly recommend securing a destination wedding insurance! We will be glad to assist with the process.
🏝️ Step 2: Find Your Ideal Location
From beachfront resorts to lush rainforests and historic haciendas, Puerto Rico offers so many settings. Think about your vibe:
- Romantic & Historic: Old San Juan, El Convento
- Tropical & Secluded: Rincón, Vieques, Culebra
- Modern & Elegant: Condado or Dorado area resorts
- Nature-Inspired: Rainforest venues near El Yunque
Need help? That’s what we do best.

📋 Step 3: Hire a Local Wedding Planner (Hi, That’s Us!)
Planning from afar is possible, but having someone on the ground who knows local vendors, weather patterns, cultural norms, and logistics is a game-changer.
At MGT Events, we help couples:
- Curate vendor teams that fit your style & budget
- Navigate timelines, legal requirements, and shipping items
- Ensure your wedding day flows beautifully — and joyfully
🛬 Step 4: Know What You Can (and Can’t) Bring
If you’re flying in from the mainland:
- You can ship decor, welcome bags, favors, and stationery. Our clients send us their items, and we secure it for them until the wedding day!
- Leave floral arrangements, candles, and fresh food to your local vendors
- Ask your planner about local rentals to avoid extra luggage
