Hi Ladies,

 

I am planning a wedding on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica (near Punta Uva) and was wondering if anyone else is planning a wedding in this area or has gotten married in this area? I realize that this is the less "popular" location, which is part of the reason that I choose it.

 

Does anyone have any information about this location?

 

Thank you,

 

Jennifer

Hi there Jennifer,

 

I few things i would like to suggest.

 

I love the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, great food music and nightlife! Punta Uva is a beautiful location but keep in mind it gets busy on weekends (by locals), during the week it would be more private. There is a great place to stay right on the shore near Punta Uva (Casa Viva) fully furnished bungalows, really nice and quiet. Further away recommendations in Cocles: Cariblue and Azania (mid range- very nice) In Playa Chiquita: Shawanda & Le Cameleon (high end).

Weddings should be earlier than normal, it gets darker quicker (sunset behind the mountains (beach/ocean sunrise). Ceremonies should en around 4pm to have time for photos.

Weather:

It is a pretty wet part of the country (that is why it is so lush). September & October and Feb & March are ideal.

I recommend a wedding planner to arrange for flowers, hair, music, etc. Services are available but this way you make sure everything will go smooth.

We have some images of weddings in Cocles, Pta Uva, Playa Chiquita, we will pull some up for you to see. I will let you know in the next post.

Let me know what other questions you may have to help you out. You will love it there!

Thank you for your response and the information! :) I guess I should have mentioned what I already have in place as I would really appreciate any feedback/sugguestions/advice/info that anyone could provide me with. I wish I would have known about this site BEFORE I started the whole planning process!

 

Well we have set the wedding date for May 22, 2010 so I am really hoping and praying for some nice weather...however, I do realize that it is the rainforest therefore a chance for rain! I have reserved all the rooms at El Nido and at Tierra de Suenos for our guests. And my fiance and I will be staying at the house on the Property of the Jungle Love Cafe, which is where we are planning to have the reception. I tried to keep everyone/everything within walking distance. I have actually been leaning towards Playa Chiquita for the ceremony as it would be closer and more convenient.

 

Thank you for sharing the photos with me and I would love to see more if you have some!

 

So...info anyone?? Has anyone stayed at any of those places or know anything about any of them?

 

Thank you :)

 

Jennifer

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
