Weddings
Imagine marrying on a white sand beach, on the edge of a rain forest or with a rumbling volcano in the background. Imagine a wedding where all you have to do is show up, where every detail has been looked after so you can relax and enjoy. Imagine a wedding in luxurious surroundings, with exotic flowers and first class service - for a fraction of the price of a wedding in North America. Turn your dreams of a beautiful, stress-free wedding into a reality with Costa Rica Honeymoon Deals!

Legality
To legally marry in Costa Rica is a simple and straightforward process - no blood tests nor any minimum time on Costa Rican soil is required. All weddings must be conducted by a lawyer, who then files all of the papers with the civil registry as well as your embassy, thus ensuring your marriage is legal and recognized internationally. The lawyer will send you a questionnaire before you come via email, asking for some general information about yourself and your spouse-to-be (i.e. occupation, parent’s names, age, birthplace, etc.) that you fill out and send back with a copy of your passports. During the ceremony, the lawyer will have all the necessary information in a sworn statement that you will sign. After the wedding, he will file the paperwork with your Embassy. Once everything is processed, your Embassy will forward it to you in your hometown. We can also arrange for religious ceremonies from various cultures and denominations.

Services
Every wedding we coordinate is as unique as the wonderful individuals marrying, so we do not offer wedding packages - we tailor every celebration to the couple's specifications.
