eloping on Culebra

My boyfriend and I are coming to Culebra in late December, and we are thinking of eloping while there. I have done some basic research on Puerto Rican weddings (we only want a brief civil ceremony; doesn't even have to be on a beach, although that would be nice), but I need to know if we can swing this on Culebra, since our trip really doesn't take us to the PR mainland other than a brief stop at the airport coming and going. Can anyone recommend a Culebra-based wedding planner who could cut through some red tape for us? I understand there is no court or judge on Culebra, so does anyone know who could perform a ceremony? Thanks.

My husband and I eloped on Flamenco Beach in Culebra on December 27th 5 years ago and it was perfect. I highly recommend it! We were there a few days ahead of time and got all the necessary tests and licenses done in Fajardo prior to heading over to Culebra. We used a jude out of Fajardo (there aren't any in Culebra) named Jose Millan. I can get you his phone number if you are interested. You will need two witnesses to sign your paperwork after your marriage. We were eloping, so we didn't have anyone there to do this so when my husband met with the judge prior to our wedding day he was informed of this. So, we paid for the judge and two of his friends to fly from fajardo to Culebra for the wedding and his friends acted as our witnesses and also as our photographer and videographer. $50 for a wedding photographer is a deal!! Let me know if you need any more help or info. and congrats!
