Steph & Matt - details


Here is another great detail shot from Steph and Matt's wedding at the Los Suenos Beach Club and Zephyr Palace in the Jaco area.

The couple used a logo on their programs, matchbooks, all signage - love it! These little details really pull everything together. Best of all, you can have a personalized logo for under $50! Check out the hundreds of options at Marry Monograms.

Congratulations Steph & Matt!




A big felicidades to Steph and Matt who were married on January 10 at the Los Suenos Beach Club in Jaco. It was a truly unique wedding, complete with Matt riding in on a white horse and a Peruvian shaman ceremony. The 80 guests then danced the night away at the stunning Zephyr Palace. Greek dancing, cigar rollers, great food - what a night!

Stay tuned for more photos of this wonderful wedding!

Earth Quake Relief in Costa Rica


As you may have heard, Costa Rica suffered a very devastating earthquake last Thursday at 1:21 PM around the Poas volcano, just outside of San Jose. Registering 6.2, it's left 18 dead, dozens missing and thousands homeless. Four villages, including the beautiful La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Peace Lodge Hotel, have been literally wiped off the face of the Earth. Sadly, this agricultural area is home to some of the most humble and poorest families in the land. They have lost everything and most do not have the benefit of insurance to help them rebuild their lives. 


Weddings Costa Rica, in addition to donating clothing, food and money through our employees and company, is also collecting donations of money which will be deposited to the Red Cross to help with the relief efforts. If you'd like to help, in whatever way you can big or small, please click on the PayPal button below, which will direct you to the account we've set up. Please be sure to include your address so we can send you a thank you card.

Many thanks for your support.

Meet The Bride - Daniela



Daniela Ladeira

Wedding date - January 17, 2009

Place - private residence, Tambor, Costa Rica

Home - Washington, DC (originally Brazil)

What do you do? - Student

Why did you choose Costa Rica for your wedding? - As my family is from Brazil and my fiance's family is from the USA, we were looking for a place in between. We decided to have our wedding in Tambor because it's a unique, very charming little village and it gives you the feeling of exclusivity. The beaches are almost private.

Favorite clothing item - At the moment, my UGG boots

My perfect day is - A day at the beach drinking a nice, cold beer!

Thing you're most looking forward to at the wedding - We all enjoy our day

Thing you are most looking forward to at the honeymoon - To see as many animals as possible as we're going to South Africa

Tip for fellow destination brides - Choose someone local who can help you plan and be prepared for a number of guests to not come. If you're looking for a special, private and small wedding, this is the best option!
