Our Story

A Collective of
Puerto Rico Wedding Professionals

We're not just writing about Puerto Rico weddings — we live them, design them, and pour our hearts into them every day.

Crown & Coquí was born from a simple observation that every wedding professional on this island has experienced: couples planning destination weddings in Puerto Rico were drowning in fragmented, unreliable information scattered across dozens of websites, blogs, and social media posts. We saw brides panicking at midnight, Googling “how much to tip wedding photographer Puerto Rico” or “do I need a passport to get married in PR,” only to find outdated answers or conflicting advice.

We decided — collectively — to build the resource we all wish had existed.

An Industry Movement

Crown & Coquí is the result of conversations between venue owners, wedding planners, coordinators, florists, caterers, photographers, and vendors across Puerto Rico. We all had the same stories: couples arriving unfamiliar with the island's customs, unsure of tipping etiquette, unaware of weather patterns, and overwhelmed by logistics that a little guidance could have simplified. So we came together to create a single, trusted source that reflects the collective wisdom of the professionals who make Puerto Rico weddings happen.

Between the professionals who contributed to this guide, we've filled every role in the Puerto Rico wedding industry: venue owners, full-service planners, day-of coordinators, floral designers, caterers, officiants, photographers, and more. We know what makes a destination wedding seamless from every angle — and we know what causes last-minute chaos because we've resolved it in real time, on the ground, in the heat and the rain and the beautiful unpredictability of island life.

Why We Feature Multiple Venues

Not every couple is right for every venue, and not every venue is right for every couple. A bride who dreams of a 400-person beachfront celebration has different needs than a couple seeking a 20-person rainforest elopement — but both deserve excellent, unbiased guidance. By curating a diverse selection of venues across every setting and style, we help couples find the venue that genuinely fits their vision rather than pushing them toward any single property.

Each venue featured in this guide was selected because the professionals behind this collective have firsthand knowledge of their quality, service, and reliability. We stake our reputations on these recommendations.

Our Promise

Every venue in this guide is featured because the professionals in our collective genuinely believe in their quality — not because they paid for placement. Every tip, timeline, and recommendation comes from real experience on the island, not sponsored content. We update our guides regularly as prices change, policies evolve, and new information becomes available.

This guide exists because Puerto Rico's wedding industry professionals care deeply about the couples who choose to celebrate love on our island. We want every couple who arrives here to feel prepared, welcomed, and confident that their day will be everything they imagined — and more.

If you have questions about any venue, any aspect of planning a Puerto Rico wedding, or if you simply need someone to tell you “it's going to be okay” at 11pm on a Tuesday — we're here.

What We Believe

Honesty Over Hype

We tell you the truth about venues, weather, costs, and logistics — even when it's not what you want to hear. Honest guidance prevents bad surprises.

Service Over Sales

This guide exists to help couples, not to sell them. Finding the right fit matters more than any single booking, and every recommendation reflects that belief.

Detail Is Love

The difference between a good destination wedding and a transcendent one lives in the details. We obsess over them so you can be present for the moments that matter.
