Travel & Stay

What airport should I fly into?

Fly into Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU) in San Juan. Most major airlines fly in to SJU on a daily basis.

do i need a passport?

No passport is needed for U.S. travelers.

will there be a hotel block?

Yes! We have reserved a block of rooms for our guests at San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino for the wedding weekend. Please visit our Travel & Stay page for more details on how to reserve your room.

 

Kindly note that rooms must be booked by October 12, 2026 to receive the wedding block rate. We highly recommend reserving early to ensure availability.

what if i'm having issues booking the hotel block?

If you experience any issues while making your reservation, please feel free to reach out to either of us. We’ll be happy to assist and handle communication with the hotel — especially if you’d like to extend your stay, as additional nights cannot be added through the booking link and must be arranged directly with the hotel’s reservations team.

where should I stay if not using the hotel block?

​We recommend staying in Condado, Isla Verde, or Old San Juan for easy access to wedding venues, beaches, and dining.

​

When booking your accommodations please ensure you are close to where we are situated. Staying in the right area of the island is vital for a fun, easy stay!

Should i rent a car?

A rental car is helpful for exploring the island or if you're staying outside the main hotel area. 

​

Driving around the island is relatively easy—major roads are well marked and GPS navigation generally works well.

is there parking at the venues?

Yes, parking is available at both venues.

Please note that there is a parking fee at the reception venue.

will there be transportation from ceremony to reception? 

Yes! Shuttle transportation will be provided from the ceremony to the reception for guests who do not have their own vehicle. Pick-up times will be shared closer to the wedding date to ensure a smooth transition between events.

can i take photos during the ceremony? 

Yes, you may take photos.
We kindly ask that you remain respectful of the Catholic ceremony and limit photos to the beginning and end of the service.

Yes! To ensure we capture memories with everyone, we’ve organized a brief photo schedule for families and guest groups before the reception. The full timeline will be shared closer to wedding date.​
