Frequently Asked Questions

Most wedding couples book their wedding venue at the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino 8 months to a year in advance. Given the high demand for weddings the resort experiences all year round, we suggest to contact us as soon as you have decided on a wedding date.

In order to confirm your date at the San Juan Marriott, we will need the following:

A signed contract

A non-refundable deposit

Credit Card Authorization documents

For the contract we'll need the following information:

1. Couple's complete names, phone numbers, address information and emails for the signing party, as well as the bride and groom.

2. Preferred event title, to be used in all related documents.

3. Confirmation of chosen ceremony and reception package, as well as any modifications or enhancements to be applied.

An initial, non-refundable deposit of 25% is required upon signing of the contract / booking of the event. Your final balance will be due 30 days before event date based on estimated charges. Any additional charges incurred at any time during your stay will need to have an approved open credit card on file.

Yes, we can help you customize any package to fit your needs.

For wedding cake information, please ask for our preferred vendors

Taste panels are offered for up to two persons with confirmed wedding event. Panels are offered on plated options only. If you would like to request a taste panel before confirming your event, you will be charged a fee per person, depending on the menu selected for the tasting. If you decide to confirm your event with us, we will deduct the cost of the taste panel from your minimum consumption of Food & Beverage on your contract.

Taste panels for confirmed events will take place a month to a month and a half prior to your wedding date. You will be able to coordinate the appointment for the tasting with your Event Manager.

Audiovisual equipment is available to be rented through our hotel. Please, ask your Sales Professional or Events Manager for assistance regarding your audiovisual needs. You may also decide to have live musicians and/or DJ's come and play during your ceremony and reception events. For additional information on these types of services, please ask for our preferred vendors list. Music is permitted to play on our outdoor venues until 10:00 pm.

Events on the beach will carry an additional Government Permit Fee of $500.00 + tax. This fee will cover the permit papers and transactions for the use of the public beach area for a private event. The beach set up includes white garden chairs and a small table for the minister or officiant. Other set up structures like runners, tables, arches, gazebos, tents, stages, lighting and sound on the beach, are available through our preferred vendors at an additional cost. These additional set ups and structures are subject to a government fee for the use of additional space at the public beach by square foot.

Civil Ceremony Requirements:

Our Full Ceremony Wedding Package, offers the services of a marriage requirement consultant solely for all legal documents and transactions for the marriage license. You will need to arrive at least 2 working days prior to your wedding event (Mon-Fri), so you can complete these requirements with the consultant.

Non residents of Puerto Rico: Instead of presenting original results of the required lab tests, you can now present a medical certification that complies with all the required lab tests for marriage in their place of residence.

The Wedding Sales Coordinator or Manager is the first person you will be working with towards the planning of your wedding event. The Sales Coordinator or Manager will be sending you the general information, packages and pricing. You will then discuss estimates and the venues you will be utilizing for your event as well as initial people guarantees and room blocks. With the Sales Coordinator or Manager you will also issue the contract to confirm the event and/or room block.

For details contact us

If you have decided to hire a wedding planner to coordinate the wedding protocol and agenda for your event, he or she will be in direct contact with your event manager ahead of time. It is your wedding planner who will give you instructions on when to go down the aisle, when to start the session for pictures (along with your photographer) and when to communicate to everyone to proceed to the reception area.

In many cases, if you do not have a wedding planner, particularly for small size weddings, it is customary to have the Maid of Honor, a friend of the family's or someone close to you to help you with these coordinating wedding details.

Hotels in the San Juan area do not offer shuttle services. However, taxi cabs are easily accessed once outside of the airport terminal and in front of our San Juan Marriott Resort. There is an estimated rate of $20.00 per taxi cab one way.
