An Intimate Ceremony at the gardens of Fundación Luis Muñoz Marín: Joanneth & Thalian’s Wedding
Gardens at Luis Muñoz Marín Foundation, San Juan
Joanneth and Thalian’s wedding at Fundación Luis Muñoz Marín was an exquisite blend of intimacy, elegance, and cultural refinement—a moment suspended in time beneath the canopy of lush greenery.
Nestled in Sabana Llana Sur, San Juan, the Fundación occupies the former residence of Puerto Rico’s first elected governor, Luis Muñoz Marín, surrounded by well-tended gardens and the arboretum known as Parque Doña Inés. With the expert coordination of Ana Agosto, every detail unfolded seamlessly, allowing the day’s natural beauty and heartfelt moments to shine.
The venue weaves together historical significance, verdant landscapes, and cultural resonance—making it a serene haven for a ceremony that felt deeply personal and uniquely Puerto Rican.
Joanneth and Thalian chose to forego the traditional guest list, exchanging vows privately amidst the tranquil green spaces. Surrounded only by nature and their shared love, their union became a quiet celebration of closeness—an emotional core to their wedding day that felt both sacred and deeply authentic. After their heartfelt vows, the couple emerged into the elegant salon to meet their guests with a lively, celebratory entrance. The warmth of family and friends filled the space with energy and joy, transforming the event from intimate to jubilant in an instant.
The festivities unfolded with thoughtful, memorable experiences. A photobooth invited playful moments and candid portraits that will be cherished for years, while a Pitorro bar brought a distinctly Puerto Rican touch to the celebration. Known as the island’s traditional moonshine, Pitorro is a potent artisanal rum often infused with tropical fruits, spices, or coffee, and its presence added both cultural richness and festive spirit to the evening. To complete the atmosphere, live music filled the salon with soulful melodies, elevating the mood and weaving every emotion of the day into a celebration that guests could fully immerse themselves in.
Fundación Luis Muñoz Marín is more than a beautiful location; it’s a place where history, culture, and nature converge. Its gardens and architectural heritage offer both intimacy for small ceremonies and elegance for receptions. Joanneth and Thalian’s wedding demonstrated how the venue can be transformed to reflect the couple’s vision: a delicate balance of heartfelt personalization and cultural design.
