2011/2012 Costa Rican Weddings

[clc134]

Hi, I am currently beginning the planning process for a wedding in Costa Rica.  Well, by beginning I mean I've spent probably over 50 hours searching online and bought two books on Costa Rica.  I have made reservations at Costa Verde for February 2012, but still feel uncertain.  I am making lists of my priorities and trying to be realistic about my budget.  Any suggestions from past brides and those currently planning would be greatly appreciated!

Hello clc134,

 

Welcome. Let us know what you are uncertain about to help clear things up a bit for you.

For a wedding at Costa Verde you will be having ceremony by the adult pool (I assume - beautiful view BTW). You would then be heading to Espadilla Beach (Public Beach) for a photo session. The big rancho is a success for reception. Breezy, open and they will let you party it til late.

 

Here is a recent Espadilla Beach Wedding (ceremony at the beach):

We are debating Costa Verde for our July 2012 wedding.  How many guests are you anticipating?  Where did you decide?

Did anyone go through with a wedding at Costa Verde? I'm planning a wedding for January 2015 and would like to get your opinions.
