No. U.S. citizens and permanent residents do not need a passport to travel to Puerto Rico. Simply bring a REAL ID-compliant license or another TSA-accepted form of identification.

Travel between the mainland United States and Puerto Rico is considered domestic, so there are no standard customs or immigration checks.

Guests traveling from outside the United States should follow the same passport and visa or ESTA requirements that apply when entering any other U.S. destination.

We recommend Permanent Residents travel with their valid Green Card to avoid any issues at TSA.

As a US territory, Puerto Rico uses the U.S. dollar, and all major credit and debit cards are widely accepted throughout San Juan.

Tipping follows the same customs as the mainland U.S., with 15–20% being customary at restaurants.

Not if you plan to stay in San Juan. The city is walkable, and Ubers are readily available.

If you plan to explore the El Yunque rainforest, beaches in Rincón, or remote coastal towns, renting a car is highly recommended. 

Yes! While Spanish is dominant island-wide, English is widely spoken throughout San Juan, particularly in hotels, restaurants, and visitor areas.

Yes. Popular visitor districts like Old San Juan are heavily patrolled and highly walkable. As with any major city, we simply recommend using standard, common-sense travel awareness and staying aware of your surroundings.

If you are planning to explore other parts of the island during your stay, please feel free to ask us—we’re happy to share advice on areas to visit.

Before flying from Puerto Rico back to the mainland U.S., your luggage must pass through a brief USDA agricultural inspection at the airport.

Complete the USDA scan before checking your luggage or proceeding through TSA, and allow a little extra time when departing.

We kindly ask that there are no phones or cameras during our wedding ceremony or first dance.

We will hold a brief ceremony outdoors, followed by an indoor reception.

Afternoon temperatures in April are typically in the low 80s, with a cooling ocean breeze.

After the ceremony, guests will follow the bride and groom on a short walk to Hotel El Convento for cocktail hour and the reception.

No additional transportation is needed.

We kindly ask that only those named on the invitation attend.

If there are any changes with your plus one, please let us know as soon as possible.

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We appreciate your understanding and hope you can enjoy the evening with us.
