No matter what kind of special event you're planning, Weddings in Vieques can help you with all the little details that would normally stress you out if you were trying to plan an event on a tiny island, located off the coast of another island, in the Caribbean.
Planning Your Wedding
Our close relationships with all of our vendors help us to get the best deals for our clients, across the board. You can feel certain that every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed when you deal with a professional event planner from Weddings in Vieques.

Flowers
From simple to sophisticated, from elegant to outrageous, we'll help you make selections within your budget, and we'll keep in close touch with the florist right up to the moment the flowers are delivered for your special day.
Cakes

Have something special in mind? A picture you tore out of a bridal magazine when you were still in high school? Or maybe you want a traditional Puerto Rican almond cake to give your wedding a local flair. Whatever your heart's desire—we have the best baker on the island retained to make sure you not only have your cake, you want to eat it too!
Photography
We work with a number of local photographers so that you can choose the best one for your particular needs. Don't believe in digital pics for your wedding? Or would you rather skip the film and proofs process and take your photos back home with you on a CD to print as you choose? We have professional photographers that can deliver exactly what you need.
Ceremony Sites
Always imagined getting married on a beach with the sand in your toes and the wind blowing through your veil? Or can you only picture exchanging vows in a chapel or a church? How about the terrace of a hotel named as "one of the top 1,000 places to visit before you die?" Whatever your heart's desire, we can make it come true on Vieques Island.

Officiants
Weddings in Vieques has relationships with a number of non-denominational and religious officiants who can legally marry you on Vieques, or simply help you exchange renewal vows or perform a commitment ceremony if that's your heart's desire.
Reception Venues

Will it be an elegant island feast for 50 with a live local band, or just you and your true love sipping champagne alone on a private terrace with a view of the water? You can celebrate your reception in one of the popular local restaurants on Vieques, or we can arrange to have it catered in a private hillside Villa.
Travel Arrangements
Some major commercial airlines will offer a group discount rate to wedding guests traveling to Puerto Rico for your wedding. Group discounts can also be arranged with the small airlines that serve the route from San Juan to Vieques. There are a limited number of rental cars available on Vieques and the professionals at Weddings in Vieques will make sure you have enough cars for all of your guests at the best possible daily rate. We can even coordinate all of your guests' reservations if you want that worry taken out of your hands.

Accommodations
Are you looking for a private hillside villa with a pool to host you and your guests on your wedding weekend? Maybe you'd like to take over an entire small hotel or bed and breakfast for the duration of your stay. There are so many different options to explore, and Weddings in Vieques will make sure you have lots to choose from when you book your stay.
Goody Bags and Wedding Favors

Imagine each of your guests arriving in their hotel room to find a beach bag filled with snacks, bottled water, rum and information about the island—what a treat! And you can send them home with a beautiful wedding favor handcrafted on Vieques, like an island Christmas ornament, or a customized package of the wedding couple's favorite cookies.
Honeymoons
If you want to leave Vieques after your wedding and spend your honeymoon someplace else in the Caribbean, Weddings in Vieques can help with all the arrangements.
