Where To Get Married In Costa Rica
This is the list of Costa Rica Wedding Venues according to our experience as Destination Wedding Photographer with beautiful landscapes, forest, beaches, mountains and even volcanoes!
Peaceful and secluded, this Country has a superb location surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, volcanoes and beaches that always overlooks a greenish area and is drenched by springs. All-inclusive wedding packages cover catering, cake, flowers, a DJ, a horse-drawn carriage ride for the bride and groom to the ceremony site and reception area, and more!
We have been touring the country doing Destination Weddings for the last 5 years so we can truly say we have seen beautiful Wedding Venues all around the country. In the list below you will find some of the most awesome places we love; regardless if you al ready picked up your wedding venue and do not see it in this list, do not hesitate to contact us and ask about it!
Punta Islita Autograph Collection, Guanacaste.
One of the most beautiful, intimate and cozy wedding we have been. The hotel staff is probably in the best rankings of costumer service experience that we can say, they customized the wedding of 5 guesses (including the bride and the groom) to make it unique!
2. Nayara Springs, La Fortuna.
This was probably one of the most challenging Destination Wedding we have been, we had to go down a lot of steps through a wet area to get to the waterfall, but hey! it was totally worth it, or even more! This is not a private area so you may find some other tourist or even locals taking a bath, but if you are patient and an adventurous couple this is definitely for you!
3. Waterfall Gardens, Heredia.
Only one hour driving from the Juan Santamaría International Airport this venue has too many things to consider it in our list. If you like greenhouses, butterfly gardens, waterfalls and the opportunity to see some exotic animals all in one this is the place for you. You will also have the chance to visit some coffee plantations because this area is located in the rainy forest of Costa Rica.
4. El Mangroove Autograph Collection, Papagayo Guanacaste.
Located on the prestigious Gulf of Papagayo on the northern Pacific Coastline of Guanacaste, this place has probably the most relaxing beach area you could find, this exclusive area of Costa Rica is pretty famous around the world, and it is closer to the most know beaches in the country. Guanacaste has its own airport so you have not to drive all the way from the capital to get there (around 4-5 hours).
5. Hotel Riu, Matapalo Beach, Guanacaste.
This Hotel is probably the one Costa Rican like the most, with huge gardens and green areas in front of the beach it is perfect to set Weddings with plenty enough guesses. Being on a privileged environment, the hotel offers a variety of activities on the beautiful beaches such as diving or fishing in the Pacific waters, ecotourism in the volcanic areas, and during the day several programs of entertainment.
