Where Time Bows to Love
Templīs Aquaria is not a venue.... it’s our private eco-sanctuary, cradled by waterfalls, mountains, and sky. A place where love is not staged, but sacred. Where union is witnessed by nature itself.
Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a soulful celebration beneath the stars, the sanctuary invites only a handful of couples each year to step into something rare... a wedding experience that feels like a dream, written by nature and sealed in the stars.
Here, nature is not just a backdrop, It is your witness. Every detail flows with reverence.
And your story? It becomes part of the myth woven through the river, the trees, and the hearts of all who gather here.

ABOUT USA Living Sanctuary for Sacred Union
Templīs Aquaria is not a public business. It is first and foremost our home and sanctuary to the wildlife residents.
This secluded estate cradled by waterfalls, ancient trees, and whispering waters, is lovingly opened to a small number of aligned couples each year.
Born from our own search for a meaningful wedding experience, this land became more than a place. It became a calling. Today, we extend that calling only to those whose heart jumps when they see the space.
We don’t just craft exquisite weddings, we hold sacred space for love to unfold in harmony with the Earth. Every ceremony here is woven into the land’s timeless rhythm, witnessed by the river, the trees, and the animals who call this sanctuary home.
If your love is rooted in reverence, authenticity, and presence, you may be one of the few invited to become part of this living myth.

Important Notes for Your Wedding at Templis Aquaria
A Sanctuary Agreement for Sacred Celebration
1. What’s Included
All packages include only the items outlined in your chosen invitation tier.
This does not include flowers, custom signage, personal décor, or DIY add-ons unless pre-approved. We provide elegant foundational décor, curated tableware, seating, sound equipment, and the natural beauty of the land.
You may bring your own touches, but we do not decorate with, store, or manage personal items (e.g. party favors, coasters, signage, etc.).
2. Transportation
Due to the sacred nature of the land and our limited mountain access, we do not allow open parking for guest vehicles.
Guests must be shuttled in if the group exceeds 10 individuals. We recommend booking nearby accommodations such as Hacienda Negrón for convenience. Shuttles can depart from those points.
3. Required: Certified Coordinator or In-House Planning
Templīs Aquaria is a sacred sanctuary—not a blank event space. To protect the flow, energy, and integrity of each celebration, a professional wedding coordinator is required for all bookings.
We no longer accept DIY weddings or couples attempting to cut corners by handling logistics themselves. This has repeatedly resulted in Kalina and Dominick—your hosts—being pulled into last-minute coordination, decor setup, guest management, and problem-solving. That is not sustainable, nor is it the role we hold here.
If you do not hire a certified coordinator pre-approved by Kalina, our in-house coordination fee will be automatically added to your balance. This ensures the day flows properly and honors the sanctuary’s standards.
You are welcome to opt for Kalina’s in-house coordination, which can be tailored to your needs and energy, based on a clear mutual agreement of what is provided.
We hold this boundary not to restrict you, but to protect the sacredness of your day—and our peace as your hosts.
4. Photography

5. 🥂 Catering & Drinks
For couples selecting the Eternal Bloom package, a private chef is included.
For others, we are happy to refer you to our trusted local chef ) who creates unforgettable Nuevo Latino Fusion menus. Availability is limited—early booking is encouraged.

6. Music

Additional live music may be permitted with approval.
🌀 Save the Date Policy
To reserve your wedding date, we require a non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of the total package. This covers upfront costs, materials, and staff—most of which cannot be refunded to us.

Testimonials
Isabela & Roberto
Templis Aquaria provided a beautiful backdrop for our micro-wedding. The venue offered us everything we needed for a gorgeous celebration with our closest family and friends. The location is stunning, and the sound of the coquis made the ceremony suuuuper magical! The venue’s commitment to respecting the natural beauty was also important to us, and it was clear that every aspect of the property was respectful to my island. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to start our new chapter.
Audrey & Justin
Templis Aquaria was the wedding venue of our dreams. The natural beauty of the rainforest combined with the serene sound of the waterfalls created an unforgettable atmosphere for our special day. The venue’s minimalist design blended perfectly with the surrounding nature, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how magical everything felt. It was the most peaceful, intimate, and spiritual place we could have ever hoped for to say our vows. Truly a hidden gem in Puerto Rico!
Jing & Peter
We were searching for a venue that reflected our love for nature and sustainability focused mindset, and we found exactly that at Templis Aquaria. The waterfall setting was breathtaking, and the eco-conscious feel of the space resonated with us. We stayed in the on-site accommodations, which were so cozy and perfect for our small group. It was the most private, stress-free experience for us San Fransisco natives. We plan to return on our anniversary. It was truly a dream come true!
