The Latest, from Puerto Rico Destination Weddings, Inc.
Saludos!
I hope this email finds you all well and healthy! Puerto Rico continues to recover with a bang, with tourism at record levels and many new residents and visitors to the island. It has been a busy summer, and we are delighted to have created amazing wedding day experiences for so many happy couples…
In this month’s Latest, we feature Jenna and Shane’s beautiful family wedding at our Hacienda222, we offer some tips for your own wedding planning, and we give a sneak peek of perhaps the most exciting feature of Hacienda222, our Tower. Believe it or not, we have turned a vertical shipping container into a wine cellar, public bathrooms for our guests, outdoor showers, and a mirador overlook, featuring panoramic views of Isabela and all her surrounding areas. Can we talk about photo opps and Instagrammable moments?? It is truly an extraordinary design and engineering feat, and we cannot wait to share it with all our Hacienda222 couples and their guests! But, for now, enjoy a sneak peek of the first step in turning a shipping container into a Tower.
As always, we will keep you updated on The Latest in weddings and Puerto Rico, and we can’t wait to welcome you here soon! 2022 is filling up fast, so let us know how we can help you plan the destination wedding experience of your dreams!

Nightlife in west Puerto Rico
Nightlife in the west of Puerto Rico tends to be a bit different than in the big city. It starts earlier, as we love our sunshine and beach time, and of course our legendary sunsets. There are no dress codes and everyone you’ll meet is relaxed and likely to start up a conversation with all around. If beach bars, local and live music, and a convivial setting where you’re guaranteed to make friends and meet colorful characters sounds fun, then the west is for you!

Locals will tell you that the real Puerto Rico and all her magic are found when you step away from the big city.

We’re always amazed to see how so much of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico gets so little online attention.
