The Passion of a Dream Wedding: Why Choose The Caribbean Island Of Puerto Rico For Your Destination Wedding?

A Country Wedding Style for Two People in Love.

It was all hands on deck in the run-up to the wedding of Brenda Santiago, 22, and Edgardo Martinez, 27, at her parent's house in Guaynabo. 'Everyone said how happy Edgar and I looked all day. It was because we were surrounded by all our family and friends who had made the wedding come together - we couldn't have done it without everyone helping out,' explains Brenda.

A year working with Kay and the team at EnhancEvents, LLC gave me plenty of ideas for the laid-back, country-style reception that followed the ceremony at her local church. 'I wanted it to look like a village jubilee, so in the pavilion we had trestle tables and lots of garland, vintage birdcages, and wild flowers and blossoms from the surrounding fields.

On our wedding day from wedding flowers bought from wholesalers and arranged by EnhancEvents, LLC team, family and friends, to Brenda designing the wedding stationary around her own painting of her parent's house, the DIY approach added to the relaxed feel of the celebrations. 'Not only did it save money hiring EnhancEvents, LLC, but it was a real labor of love,' says Brenda.

'One of my favorite memories is sneaking out with Edgar at 1:30 am and going to bed in the gypsy caravan specially restored for our first night by our friends and family members,' says Brenda. 'We fell asleep talking about the wedding, listening to the music and everyone still having fun in the pavilion.'

Thank you Kay, Michelle, Nity and Ruth for such a wonderful experience, we will never forget.

Brenda & Edgar.
