Getting Married in Rincon

Many people have gotten married on the beach just outside our Villas.  It is a perfect setting for a romantic place to give your vows.  A great backdrop is the sunset while the waves lap in the background.  With miles of beaches to hold your special day, you will experience a moment that will last a lifetime.

Like most states and countries, Puerto Rico has a few guidelines to follow in order to get married on the island.  Proper I.D., birth certificate and blood test within ten days of the marriage are required.  When arriving on the island, you will want to go to the Department of Health to receive the initial marriage license papers, visit a physician to verify your tests and then to the Marriage License Bureau.  Some of these items can be done before by contacting the Health Bureau. 

If you prefer a more traditional wedding, Puerto Rico has the highest density of churches in the world.  In Rincon, you may want to try Christians of the Caribbean www.cotcnet.org  Curt Parton is the Pastor and his email is curt@cotcnet.org the service is in English

For those who are trying to save money, or want a civil ceremony can always get married with a justice of the peace.  Judical Center offers free marriage ceremonies.  Another option is on a boat….captains can perform marriage ceremonies…..Carson at Taino Divers has married quite a few on the high seas.

For additional help and guidance, contact Nancy who works at Lazy Parrot (787) 823-5654 she knows all the info, blood tests, etc.  She should be able to help.

We highly recommend Raquel Tanner as a photographer. More information on her can be found at: www.chantiki-photo.com or by calling Rachel Tanner at Phone: (787) 823-0650.  She has captured many weddings and can also assist in setting up other wedding aspects.
