About Templīs Aquaria
Templīs Aquaria is not a typical wedding venue — it is a living sanctuary cradled by waterfalls, ancient trees, and whispering waters in the heart of Puerto Rico's rainforest. Nestled at the convergence of four rivers, this secluded estate hosts only a small number of weddings each year, ensuring every couple receives undivided attention. The experience begins the day before, when the couple journeys to each of the four rivers to collect water in temple-branded keepsake bottles — a ritual that becomes the heart of the ceremony itself. That evening, a styled rehearsal dinner for 12 is prepared by a private chef, followed by a soak in outdoor jungle tubs fed by heated mountain spring water. On the wedding day, the collected river waters are transferred into vases and ceremonially poured into a glass basin by the couple, representing two different pasts, two different lineages, merging into one current — a marriage. The on-site officiant guides the entire ceremony at the convergence point of the rivers, a setting that exists nowhere else. The covered reception hall flows seamlessly with dinner service, dancing, florals, a local beer bar, all-day photography and videography, and use of the venue all night. A shuttle brings your guests in and out. You hire no outside vendors. You simply arrive, and the magic is already in motion.
Who Is Templīs Aquaria Best For?
Couples seeking a deeply intimate, spiritually grounded celebration surrounded by untouched nature. Ideal for elopements and micro-weddings of 2–50 guests who value reverence, authenticity, and presence over spectacle.
Why We Recommend This Venue
There is genuinely nothing else like Templīs Aquaria in Puerto Rico — or anywhere. The signature Four Rivers Ceremony, where couples collect water from four converging rivers and pour them together as a symbol of their union, is an experience that cannot exist at any other venue. The comprehensively all-inclusive design means zero vendor coordination — from officiant to photographer to private chef, everything is handled. The limited number of annual weddings ensures every couple receives undivided attention, and the rainforest setting creates photographs that look like they belong in a fantasy novel.

The Four Rivers Ceremony is a signature ritual exclusive to Templīs Aquaria. The day before the wedding, the couple journeys to each of the four rivers that converge on the sanctuary grounds, collecting water from each in temple-branded keepsake bottles they take home. On the wedding day, the waters are transferred into vases and ceremonially poured together into a glass basin — representing two different pasts, two different lineages, merging into one current. The on-site officiant guides this deeply meaningful ceremony at the exact convergence point of the rivers, a setting and experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.
Your package includes a full rehearsal dinner the evening before your wedding for up to 12 guests. It includes styling, florals, and a private chef, as well as a complete ceremony walkthrough with coordination and a practice run of the music, processional, and vows. After rehearsal, couples can unwind in the outdoor jungle tubs fed by heated mountain spring (manantial) water.
The venue is a private estate nestled in Puerto Rico's rainforest, at the convergence of four rivers, surrounded by waterfalls, ancient trees, and abundant wildlife. The atmosphere is deeply serene, spiritual, and unlike any traditional wedding venue. The ceremony takes place riverside, and the reception is held in a separate covered hall with a dance floor.
