The countries geographical landscape allows for many alternatives. Beach weddings seem to be the more popular option, with boutique hotels and luxury hotels abounding in options. The Arenal Volcano and Monteverde Cloud forest offer very competitive locations, as well as many of the properties located within the areas of Costa Rica’s variety of National Parks. The options are endless, the alternatives rich.
The alternatives are many. From small boutique lodges to large luxurious hotels, and everything in between. We are convinced there is a wedding for every budget, and that there is a perfect option for every dream. Many websites and event planning companies seem to have the need to keep the price a mystery until they feel they have engaged the bride. We come straight upfront. Our prices are listed on our website so that you do not feel intimidated when comparing and deciding which budget is comfortable for you. The prices for a Wedding Ceremony will vary based on number of attendees, location, time of year. However, the range of alternatives include prices from $900 for the “Wishing to Elope” (the couple and 2 witnesses) in a property such as the Tamarindo Diria 4* hotel, to $12,000 for the “Lavish Package” at the Four Seasons (5*) for up to 20 guests. The average representative price would probably be the Paradissus Playa Conchal with their “Aqua Package” at a price of $3475 for 1 hour open bar, 3 course meal reception for 20 guests.
We can, and we will. Our team includes an experienced Destination Management Company who has provided the best service for Costa Rica vacations over the past 20 years. From transfers, to hotels, activities, short vacations – we have it all. We will coordinate the arrivals to the wedding, the transfers, the hotel room blocks at lower prices than those you can achieve by a single wedding planner. We will take care of your family and guests adventures before, during and after the event.
We work as a team: the moment your request comes in, one of the US specialists calls one of the local specialists in the Costa Rica office and together we will design and plan all the details with you. We will be your team all the way through your return home.
We are a Costa Rica Marketplace. Focused and dedicated.
Not with us. You will find that many providers or planners seem to keep pricing a mystery.

We provide that before you talk to us so you know we are not speculating with pricing.
