Planning your wedding is something that takes a lot of time and, in some cases, a lot of money. You want your wedding to be a special occasion – an event that will create an everlasting memory for you and your new spouse. Planning a wedding in a tropical location is a great way to create this once-in-a-lifetime event. Weddings in Costa Rica involve quite a bit more planning than a wedding at a local chapel. These tips will help you as you plan your unforgettable Costa Rican wedding. 

 
• Choose the location. Costa Rica is full of beautiful, pristine, sandy beaches. Choose the location in Costa Rica that will provide you with the perfect setting for your exchange of vows.

• Think about your guests. Will your guests be responsible for their own airfare? If not, carefully select your guest list because airfare to Costa Rica can make a rather large dent in your wedding budget.

• Ask for help. Your wedding planner and travel agent can only do so much. Sometimes, a local perspective is much more helpful. Do not be afraid to ask for help from the staff of your hotel of choice. They are there to make sure that your stay is perfect, and they are more than willing to help you map out some of the finer details of your wedding.

There is something magical about weddings in Costa Rica. Perhaps it is the white, sandy beaches and the sound of the waves lapping on the shore.

There is something to be said about tropical weddings. Exchanging nuptials with the love of your life in a tropical paradise is guaranteed to create cherished memories. Weddings in Costa Rica have become quite popular because of Costa Rica’s lush, green landscape. It is the ideal destination for a tropical wedding; if you want to get married in Costa Rica, here are a few tips:

•  Give yourself plenty of time for planning. A tropical wedding in another country is not something to be planned with haste. You want to ensure that your invited guests have plenty of time to plan for the trip. Allow yourself time to map out the travel details, as well as the actual wedding details.

• Choose a location that caters to wedding parties. This can help make the planning process easier. Wedding packages, such as the ones we offer, help take the guesswork out of planning your wedding.
• Choose the date with care. Make sure you are choosing a season when the weather will be perfect for your wedding, especially if you plan to exchange vows outside.
