Perfect Destination

The team at El Convento (Nelia, Maria, Fabiola) are a group of absolute professionals. We felt informed, assured, and excited every step of the way. All of our guests could not stop raving about the quality of the venue, food, and staff.

Maria and Nelia gave us an amazing welcome and tour, Fabiola checked in throughout the night, we did not have to do anything but enjoy our day!
Every.single.detail. Was covered. My bride and I had a personal server making sure we were getting food/drinks during photo shoots and all the wedding madness.

PLEASE review their list of recommended vendors. They have established relationships with the best vendors on the island, which resulted in everything going perfectly!

Cannot recommend enough. Some photos can be seen on my IG: @remytherockstar, or if you are like us you will get real excited following @oldsanjuanweddings
