Destination wedding · Guanacaste coast

Why here

Guanacaste is warm coastline and lush green, barefoot, sun-kissed and easy. As you can see from these photos, it is a place that carries a look beautifully.

Plan for the season

December-March/April: Guanacaste's well-defined dry season, with only about 4% of annual rain falling December-March.

Good to know

Rainy (green) season is May-October; June is the first rain peak. The hot, dry Papagayo wind often blows in the dry season. No residency or waiting period, but a legal wedding must be performed by a Costa Rican lawyer-notary (or Catholic priest), with apostilled, translated documents and two witnesses with ID.

Places to marry

  • Four Seasons Resort Peninsula PapagayoUltra-luxury peninsula resort with beach and garden spaces
  • Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula PapagayoHilltop design resort with ocean views, private beach
  • Hacienda PinillaOceanfront ranch estate with beach club, barefoot vows

It is a place made for brides and for any special occasion, and one I would love to bring my kit to. If you would like me to be part of your day there, book me. I am looking forward to it.
