Wedding at El Mangroove in Costa Rica

Erica and her team at Amore Paraiso went above and beyond to make our destination wedding at El Mangroove in Costa Rica everything we imagined and more. From our first conversation through the wedding weekend, she was calm, thoughtful, and committed to making everything exactly how we envisioned it. She organized the welcome party, wedding day, transportation, and excursions, and her relationships with local vendors were invaluable while planning from afar.

Thanks to Erica, everything was even more magical than we imagined. Most importantly, on the wedding day itself, we were able to completely relax and enjoy every moment with our loved ones without worrying about a thing. We are so grateful for her guidance, expertise, and attention to detail, and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in Costa Rica.

The Proposal

We cannot say enough great things about the proposal planning and execution in Costa Rica! Every detail was handled so beautifully and professionally from start to finish. The communication, coordination, location setup, photography, and overall experience exceeded all expectations. Erika truly helped create one of the most unforgettable moments of our lives. Everything felt seamless, romantic, and perfectly personalized to us. We are beyond grateful for all the effort, care, and attention to detail that went into making our proposal absolutely perfect. Highly recommend to anyone looking to create a once in a lifetime experience!

Book the BEST wedding team!

We couldn’t have trusted a better team to plan our wedding! It’s not easy planning a destination wedding but Erika and her team made sure to talk us through it all. They always answered our emails and were always willing to set up FaceTimes if needed. We had complete trust in them and they delivered!! Our wedding was so perfect I can’t even put into words. I’m so grateful for the Amore team and how amazing they made our special day. I highly recommend booking the destination package- Adriana took all our stress away with all the extra needs that come with getting people to a destination wedding. The extra help with planning transportation and all extra events helped ease our minds with our guests traveling.

Dream wedding & a dream team!

Wow! Where do we start?? HIRE THIS TEAM!

When my husband and I decided we wanted to get married in Costa Rica we knew we would need a lot of help. Finding and hiring Erika and her Amore Paraiso team was our best wedding planning decision we made!

Erika and her team went above and beyond with everything. Her team met with us when we decided to come visit a year before the wedding to look at venues and go over details in person, even though this was out of the norm.

The wedding day design and flow was everything we asked for and more! The team made it feel very “us” and unique to our love story. Our family and friends are still talking about the design and florals months after our big day.

Erika pointed us in the right direction for vendor recommendations and we could not be happier with every vendor that was apart of our day.

Whenever an issue came up Erika and her team were on top of it, we hardly ever knew if there was a problem.

Hire Amore Paraiso for your dream wedding in Costa Rica! You will not be disappointed! They are the best in town 💖

Thank you again Erika and team!!!

A Dream Wedding in Tamarindo – Thanks to Erika & the Amore Paraiso Team!

If you’re planning a destination wedding in Costa Rica, look no further than Amore Paraiso. From the moment we started working with Erika and her incredible team, we felt completely at ease. Planning a wedding from afar can be daunting, but they made every step not only manageable—but genuinely enjoyable.

Erika took the time to get to know us as a couple, and then brought our vision to life with thoughtful design choices and spot-on vendor recommendations. Every detail—from the venue options to the design to the schedule—was perfect. She was always available to meet, incredibly organized, and provided helpful visuals and information along the way that made it easy to stay on track and feel confident about every decision.

We also used their concierge service (huge shoutout to Adriana!) and it was an absolute game changer. They helped coordinate airport transportation for our guests (which everyone raved about), as well as group activities like a catamaran cruise, the rehearsal dinner, and the after-party. Our guests felt so well taken care of—and we did too.

The team was also incredibly thoughtful about our budget. Erika offered creative ideas and flexible options so we could make the most of what we had without ever feeling like we were cutting corners.

And on the day of the wedding? Pure magic. Everything ran like clockwork. We didn’t have to think about anything but enjoying our day. The Amore Paraiso team handled everything behind the scenes with grace and professionalism. It was honestly like being on cruise control—and we wouldn’t change a thing.

We truly could not have asked for a better experience. If you’re dreaming of a Costa Rica wedding, trust us—Amore Paraiso will deliver. They made our day unforgettable, and we’re endlessly grateful.

Theyre amazing

I really don't have the words for how grateful I am for Erika and Adriana. We did the destination wedding package, and I can't recommend this enough. Adriana handled all of our transportation to and from all events, plus she handled booking individual tours that the guests booked. Erika helped us find vendors and communicate with them. She helped designed a lot of the aspects of our wedding, and coordinating everything coming together absolutely perfectly on our wedding day. I didn't have to talk to a single vendor, and she got everything set up and ready to go. This was a wedding of 95 people with many vendors, and they handled all of it flawlessly. I highly recommend them and will miss working with them.

Hands down, the most incredible wedding weekend ever

We got married at Pangas on February 1st, and hiring Erika and her team at Amore was, without a doubt, the best decision we made. Planning a destination wedding felt overwhelming at first, but Erika made it feel effortless.

As a Type A bride, I love a good plan—but Erika is on another level. She anticipated every detail before I even thought of it, completely understood my vision, and made sure that every event leading up to and including our wedding day was seamless. Because of her, I was able to be fully present and enjoy everything without a single moment of stress.

When I walked into the venue, I was floored!! It was beyond anything I had imagined, absolutely perfect in every way.

Beyond being incredibly organized, the Amore team is just awesome—so kind, fun, and genuinely great people. Erika doesn’t just plan weddings, she knows how to throw a PARTY. The timeline was seamless, everything flowed naturally, and nothing ever felt forced or overly structured. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful, well-run, and just flat-out amazing the whole weekend was.

A huge shoutout to Adri, our concierge, who went above and beyond handling all the tricky logistics—shuttles, vendors, our catamaran excursion—you name it, she made it happen effortlessly.

If you want a wedding that looks stunning, runs flawlessly, and actually lets you enjoy your day, Amore is the team to make it happen. I’d be more than happy to be a reference for any couples considering working with them!

Best team EVER!!

After deciding on Costa Rica for our big day, I set up zoom interviews with several local wedding planners. Speaking with Erika for the first time I knew she and her team would be the perfect fit. Kind, energetic and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and truly brought our wedding dreams to life. She gave me a list of venue options and vendors and helped me choose all the best fits. I gave her all my wildest dreams and ideas (tropical disco vibes, a live band, dreamy beachside ceremony, bright tropical florals, interactive coconut wall to name a few…) and she brought them all to life and discussed a clear plan and budget along the way.

Adriana and the guest concierge team made sure all 80 of our guests arrived safely, had necessary transport, and she arranged all of our amazing excursions!!

We truly could not have asked for a more perfect, stress free and fun wedding weekend. Erika and her team are amazing and I would recommend them to any of my closets friends and family. We love you, Amore Paraiso!!!

The best day ever!!!!

Erika and Adriana were absolutely incredible in planning Anthony’s and my wedding. The entire wedding week was flawless, thanks to Adriana, our concierge, who made sure all our guests’ questions were answered. Erika executed our vision perfectly and coordinated the wedding day seamlessly, leaving us completely stress-free. After months (2 years to be exact) of planning, it was all worth it when the day turned out to be absolutely amazing. With Erika and her team, you don’t need to worry about a thing—just sit back, relax, and enjoy your special day!

Costa Rica Wedding

First of all, Erika and Adriana are absolutely wonderful to work with. I could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding. Erika’s attention to detail made our day so special. She listened to what I wanted and took over from there, making the wedding planning process so easy for me.
Adriana planed every detail outside of the wedding day for our guests from airport transportation to hotel accommodations and made the entire process a breeze.
I could not have planned my perfect wedding in Costa Rica without the help of these wonderful ladies.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
