Dreamy Destination Weddings in Costa Rica

9009422091?profile=original

Costa Rica is an exotic and gorgeous Latin American country that is a gem for destination weddings. It 's very stable politically and offers spectacular backdrops for making your day extra special and memorable. Exotic beaches, breathtaking sunsets, waterfalls, dramatic skylines, panoramic mountain views, jungles, and even volcanoes welcome you to host your wedding in this beautiful country.

What’s Your Wedding Style?


The incredibly diverse landscape of Costa Rica allows you to pick any kind of ceremony for your destination wedding. From lavish and extravagant parties to laid-back ceremonies, you can choose from an array of wedding styles in this tropical paradise.

Beach Wedding


Undoubtedly, beaches are among the best wedding venues in Costa Rica. Getting married on the sand is the ultimate romantic experience for many couples, so get ready for an unforgettable experience as the waves crash in the background and and the sand tickles your toes. Imagine walking along the beach or taking off on horseback along the coastline once you have said your vows! Tamarindo, Langosta, and Mal País on the Pacific Coast are some of the best beaches on which to get married. In fact, these pristine locations are becoming increasingly popular since they boast awe-inspiring scenery and are semi-secluded.


For instance, the rainy season in Tamarindo is shorter than in other parts of the country. As such, this place gives you greater flexibility in choosing a date for your destination wedding. Costa Rica offers a range of accommodation types for your guests. You can choose from villas, condos, boutique hotels, and beachfront resorts for housing your invitees.


Tropical Wedding


How would you like to tie the knot on a mountainside or having a massive volcano as your wedding backdrop? Incredible. Right? The Arenal area in La Fortuna is next on the best wedding venues in Costa Rica for  tropical-style nuptials. But remember that this region is buzzing with tourists, so it may not be as secluded as the beaches. But it does have its own perks - take a luxuriant dip in the local hot springs and visit the cascading waterfalls after the ceremony. What better way to relax and begin a new life together?


The Monteverde cloud forest is another excellent place to take your vows. Breathe in the fresh air of the lush, green forests around you with their unparalleled biodiversity. Imagine the calls and chirps of the monkeys and native birds as your wedding bells! You can also get your adventure spirits going here, as there are a number of eco-tours and exciting attractions just minutes away from your wedding venue.


Church Wedding


Costa Rica of course has plenty of churches to host a traditional church wedding. So if you love history, then you will surely relish the idea of getting married in churches with traditional architecture. You can even find churches in remote areas that are serene and extremely romantic. One big caveat: getting married in a Catholic church involves a lot of paperwork and even weeks of pre-marital classes, so it's not practical for most foreigners; requirements at Protestant churches may be a bit easier, but especially in this instance, it's best to hire a local wedding planner for more information.


Symbolic Ceremony


The symbolic ceremony - hassle-free, with no lawyers or paperwork - is another option. It won't be legally binding here or back home, but does offer a wonderful experience for you and your guests in a gorgeous setting of your choice, and you can design it to be as traditional or free-form as you like, and have it performed by anyone, from a member of the clergy to even one of your family and friends. A number of resorts will offer this as part of their menu of service, to make the planning even more no-muss/no-fuss.
