Saying "I Do" in Costa Rica

A crimson sun slowly dips into the violet-blue sea. Streamers of pink and orange streak across the wide, deepening blue sky. Coconut palms bow lightly in the breeze. You and your beloved are there on the soft sand promising your love and commitment, exchanging rings and kisses.

Costa Rica beaches are top wedding destination

Sound like your 
dream wedding? It easily can be.
Costa Rica
 has become one of the
 premiere locations for 
destination weddingsin the world. Its fabulously gorgeous beaches, lush rainforest, friendly people and abundance of hotels, resorts and vacation homes ranging from over-the-top luxury to relaxed and informal all combine to make this tiny Central American nation the place to be wed.

You’ve always wanted to travel there. Why not combine your wedding and honeymoon destination and make it one big party with your family and friends? Or go even simpler … just you and your sweetheart sharing the intimacy of a private “elopement” ceremony. Whatever your wedding wish, it can come true in Costa Rica. A nice plus is that citizens from any other country can get legally married in Costa Rica and have it be valid in their home country.


Fabulous tropical weddings in Costa Rica

Whether you plan a big “fiesta” or keep it small and intimate, a “must-have” for your destination wedding is a professional planner. It’s hard enough trying to design a party or event where you live, let alone in a completely different country. A
 wedding planner
 takes all of that stress away from you and leaves you to simply dream and have it happen.

“This is one of the most important days of your life, so you should entrust a professional to take complete care of every little detail,” says Aimee Monihan, owner of 
Tropical Occasionsand 
Santa Teresa Beach Weddings. Their professional team of event coordinators enthusiastically helps you create your dream wedding from start to finish, and has handled more than 700 events in Costa Rica; beach weddings are their specialty.

One of Costa Rica’s secluded gems for weddings and honeymoons is

Pacific’s
