A Beautiful Symbolic Ceremony in Puerto Rico

A symbolic ceremony is a beautiful, heartfelt celebration of love that is full of emotion and spirituality but involves no legal paperwork or government filing. It looks and feels like a real wedding but is purely symbolic. It’s ideal for couples who are already legally married, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies, or anyone wanting a romantic, stress-free experience in paradise.

Our symbolic ceremony package starts at $400. This includes a fully personalized ceremony led by a professional officiant in your choice of religious, non-religious, or interfaith style, plus meaningful symbolic rites such as the Sand Ceremony, Unity Candle, Handfasting, or Ring Warming. Add-ons like a hexagon arch ($400), small cake ($150), photographer ($475), live music ($450), bouquet ($150), or wireless sound system ($300) are available to make your day even more special.

No. A symbolic ceremony requires no marriage license, paperwork, or filing with the Demographic Registry. It is not legally binding, making it perfect for couples who have already handled the legal part of their marriage elsewhere or simply want a meaningful non-legal celebration.

A legal wedding involves official paperwork and filing so your marriage is recognized by the government. A symbolic ceremony has the same romantic look and feel (vows, officiant, symbolic rites) but no legal requirements or filing. Many couples choose symbolic ceremonies because they are simpler, more flexible, and allow full personalization without bureaucratic steps.

You can have your symbolic ceremony anywhere on the island — popular locations include beaches, hotels, gardens, cliffsides, or even rainforests. Our officiants travel island-wide and have offices in San Juan, Ponce, and Aguadilla for convenient coordination. We are available 7 days a week.

We offer fully personalized symbolic ceremonies in religious, non-religious, interfaith, or completely custom styles. You can include any symbolic rites that are meaningful to your story, such as the Sand Ceremony, Unity Candle Ceremony, Handfasting, Ring Warming, and more.

Symbolic ceremonies are perfect for:

• Couples who are already legally married and want to celebrate with family and friends.
• Vow renewals or anniversary celebrations.
• Commitment ceremonies for any couple wanting a romantic, non-legal event.
• Destination experiences where handling legal paperwork in Puerto Rico is not preferred.

Yes! Symbolic ceremonies can be intimate (just the two of you) or include family and friends. We customize the experience to match your desired size and atmosphere, whether it’s a private beach moment or a small gathering in a beautiful Puerto Rico setting.
