q&a
As the ceremony will commence at 5PM, we suggest arriving at the venue by 4:30 PM. This will ensure you have ample time to settle in and be comfortably prepared for the start of the celebration.
Our beachside celebration is designated as Beach Formal Chic. We invite you to dress elegantly while keeping the coastal setting in mind. For inspiration on suitable attire, please refer to the Dress Code Inspiration link provided. link: attire suggestions
We ask that you refrain from cellphone usage completely during the ceremony, so you can be completely in the moment along with the bride and groom. During the Cocktail Hour and Reception we welcome you to capture and cherish the moments. The only thing we kindly ask that you remain considerate of our professional photographers and avoid obstructing their view to ensure everyone can enjoy the evenings events.
Feel free to share celebratory images from the wedding. However, we kindly request that you refrain from posting any photos of the bride’s dress or specific ceremony events until one day after the event. This will allow us to reveal these special moments through our photographer and videographer.
While we adore children, please note that our wedding is an adults-only celebration.
The After Party will be held following the reception, so we don't recommend returning to your hotel to change. The after party will be by the pool - close to the Reception space. If you have a more comfortable outfit you can bring to change into, please feel free. Theres spacious restrooms near the party area. Feel free to toss on a pair of sandals for comfort, or keep your dancing shoes on - up to you. And Guys, please feel free to untie your ties and undo your top button. Were going to keep the good vibes going but feel free to loosen up.
You have the option of renting a car, using Uber, or taking a taxi service. For recommended taxi service contacts, please refer to the Accommodations page.

• Our wedding falls just before the Holy Week in Puerto Rico. While most businesses will remain open, some may be closed on Saturday, April 12th for Passover.
• As Puerto Rico is a US territory, the US dollar is used, and many residents are fluent in English, which should facilitate easy communication.
• Dining out may be influenced by the relaxed "Island Time," so patience is appreciated, and tipping your servers is customary.
• The Carolina - Isla Verde area is lively with nightlife, and while it’s generally safe with police presence on the strip, please exercise the same caution you would in any busy area when walking late at night.
