Our New Wedding Specialist: Custom Costa Rica Wedding Venues & Guest Accommodations
Our wedding specialist – or rather, your wedding specialist – is an expert in Costa Rica wedding venues and guest accommodations.
We are very excited to announce that we’ve recently welcomed a dedicated wedding specialist to our team!
More than convenience (although, she will make everything convenient) our wedding specialist is wholly dedicated to you. A master planner and wholehearted people-person, her passion is rooted in the fulfillment of your wedding venue vision.
Our wedding specialist is the foremost expert in Costa Rica wedding venues: She’ll work to pair your personality with the best venue – beachfront, mountain or anything in between – for your ceremony and reception, based on your style, your guests, and your budget.
Regarding venues – we’re happy to announce that we’re now working with Pangas at Home, one of Costa Rica’s best wedding venues and an all-in-one location for your rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception.
Beyond coastal gourmet by the beachfront, our wedding specialist can also help you build a custom wedding venue: a modern mansion, an ocean-view hilltop, a solar-powered luxury estate – all, tailored to your needs and vision. Leverage our local expertise and Costa Rican connections to create a picture-perfect setting.
We’ll also help get everyone accommodated. Whether you’re eloping as just a couple or hosting a destination event for 100, we’ll coordinate accommodations for you and your guests: spectacular ocean-view properties with private bungalows, sprawling mansions to sleep 25+, or even neighboring homes to accommodate all your guests in one general location.
It begins with your first call or email. Before anything else, our wedding specialist takes the time to understand you: She endeavors to get to know you and your future spouse – to understand your vision, to feel out your nuptial personalities, and to picture every detail of your dream Costa Rica wedding venue.
