How many Costa Rica brides are out there?

Did anyone getting married in Costa Rica purchase wedding insurance?  I can't seem to find an insurance company that will cover weddings in Costa Rica.  Thanks!

Hola lovely Costa Rican brides! I am getting married in Playa Grande, just north across the estuary from Tamarindo, at the Rip Jack Inn on December 3, 2011. We rented a few houses nearby for friends and family, and we are staying for a week before the wedding in Playa Grande.

 

I was wondering if anyone who was married in the Tamarindo area has any band recommendations for the ceremony and reception? I would love to book a local reggae band, bur really any band that will be fun for both our friends and older family members would be great!

 

Thanks so much, and happy planning.

 

Lindsay.

    Hi there, a Canadian national, Donnie Walsh, lives in that area. He has a blues band that plays out in that area fairly often. I know you could get a band from San Jose to make the drive, but you would have to put them up for the night. Kingo Lovers are a good roots reggae band, they have opened for Alpha Blondie, Steel Pulse, and others. I know, because I produced the shows. Un Rojo are also good. Good luck.....

I'm very interested in planning a similar wedding in Costa Rica. I'm just worried that it will cost a ton. How much would you say you spent?

 

Thanks so much!

Take a look at this site near Playas del Coco.  http://www.bahiapezvela.com/  It is a lovely place on the beach, and a great resturant.  They can handle 80-100 for a wedding.
