Where do you plan weddings in Costa Rica?

We plan weddings throughout Nosara and along the Nicoya Peninsula in Guanacaste, from beachfront and jungle-hilltop villas to boutique hotels, and in nearby Santa Teresa. We have worked this coast since 2011, so we know its venues, vendors, and rhythms intimately.

How far in advance should we start planning?

Most couples reach out 12 to 18 months ahead. We take a limited number of weddings each season so every celebration has our full attention, and the best venues and vendors book early, so the sooner you begin, the more open the possibilities.

Can we legally get married in Costa Rica?

Yes. A legal marriage in Costa Rica is possible, though it involves paperwork and timing, so many of our couples complete the legal step at home and celebrate with a symbolic ceremony here, where every word and detail is theirs to shape. We will walk you through whichever path suits you best.

How many guests can a Nosara wedding have?

Everything from an intimate elopement to a gathering of 120 or more. We match you to a venue that fits your guest count and the feeling you are after, then shape the whole experience around it.

What does Weddings Nosara handle?

All of it, or just the parts you need, venue selection, budget guidance, design and styling, vendor management, guest logistics, the full wedding week, timeline and production, and on-the-day execution. Our role is to make the whole weekend feel effortless to you.

Do you help our guests with travel and transport?

Yes. We help your guests with accommodations, airport transfers, and activities, and we send everyone a simple travel form so we can coordinate their arrivals, stays, and transport, so they feel cared for from the moment they land.

What does a Nosara wedding cost?

Every wedding is different, so cost depends on your guest count, venue, and the scope you choose. We build a clear, honest budget from the very start and show you where to invest for impact and where to save, so there are no surprises, only good decisions.

Why get married in Nosara?

Nosara is where the jungle meets the Pacific, wild, warm, and quietly luxurious. It rewards couples who want more than a single day: a whole weekend in a place that feels alive. And as the area's first and longest-standing planners, we know how to make the most of it.
