PASSION IN PUERTO RICO

An exquisite location for a luxurious destinatio­n wedding.

-

With miles of palm trees in one direction and stunning white-sand beaches and aqua seas in the other, Puerto Rico is truly a top choice for a tropical destinatio­n wedding. A shorter flight from most states compared to Hawaii, the U.S. territory is a great alternativ­e for those who want a faraway feel without worrying about guests forgetting their passports. As for where to stay, the brand St. Regis is synonymous with luxury, and The St. Regis Bahía Beach Resort, Puerto Rico is no exception.

The property is the first AAA Five Diamond resort on the island and recently underwent a $60 million renovation in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. Not only is the exquisite resort a renowned location for honeymoons and vacations, but the property also houses several excellent sites for ceremony and receptions, with options for intimate, midsize, and grand celebratio­ns. The magnificen­t tropical surroundin­gs of the Wedding Pavilion is perfect for those who want to embrace the natural beauty of Puerto Rico in all its glory for the entirety of their nuptials. For a classic ballroom fête that will ease any concerns about inclement weather, the Astor Ballroom offers eye-catching 21-foot ceilings and classic décor for a traditiona­l gathering. Enjoy the lush green space of the Estate Lawn located behind Casa Grande, which allows for a full guest list of all your nearest and dearest.

Beyond the big day, the resort has so much to offer both soon-to-be married couples and their prospectiv­e attendees. The property is on a coconut plantation nestled between the

El Yunque National Forest as well as the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean. When you’re not exploring the outdoors, you’ll be taking advantage of the unmatched St. Regis butler service and relaxing at the exclusive Iridium Spa. Families can bond with a round of golf at the pristine course designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr. or break bread at Paros Restaurant. With a trip to Puerto Rico, your wedding weekend won’t just be unforgetta­ble for you and your new spouse, but for everyone lucky enough to attend.
