Perfect team for our wedding!

We've just had our wedding in Tamarindo a few weeks ago, and we're so glad we chose 419weddings to be our planner! Barbara and her team helped made the planning process from the US so much less stress and easier than I could imagine. They were very organized, responsive, and mindful in working within our budget. The decorations were beautiful and just like how we envisioned it. With Natasha and Alexia's help on the wedding day, we were able to be present and fully enjoyed our day with family and friends. They're a great investment and we highly recommend them!

Best Week of Our Lives

We truly could not have asked for better wedding planners. There were nerves planning a destination wedding since I wouldn’t be able to meet with the vendors personally but I was absolutely blown away. Barbara suggested the very best vendors. Barbara and her team planned and executed a welcome party, family dinner at a rental home and the best wedding day at Pangas. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing and could not have dreamed a better week. It’s been over 6 months and friends and family still rave about the perfect wedding. Every single person we worked with from the Four Nineteen team to the vendors was exceptional, professional and the very best. We made lifelong friends and we are so grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Destination wedding dream come true!

Planning a wedding is stressful. Planning a wedding abroad is a nightmare. Hiring 419 Events to plan my destination wedding was the best decision I ever made. You get what you pay for- experts in the CR wedding industry, comprehensive planning, mood boards, boots on the ground, a steady hand. I am quite busy and was unable to fly in to finalize details before my wedding. Having never met anyone from 419 in person, I put my full faith in them. I dragged 70 of my family and friends across the earth on a wing and a prayer. I arrived to my dream wedding, better than I ever imagined. Every detail was perfect. The food was amazing. My guests still talk about my wedding as the best wedding they have ever been to, and they actually say this to me regularly. My only regret is that I can’t get married twice! Thank you and pura vida!

Perfection in Wedding Planning

The team at Four Nineteen Weddings are incredible. They are professional, down to earth, genuine, cared about us, and working with them was truly the best decision we could have made for our day. Barbara, Natasha, and the team knew the vendors to recommend, what worked in the location we had selected, and completely captured our vision, design, and vibe.

They helped us to create an entire week of celebration in Costa Rica, made sure we were supported and helped us with the decisions and took our ideas and ran with them all while keeping us in the loop as much as we wanted to. Our wedding turned out absolutely flawless and my husband and I were able to be fully present during our day. They handled anything that came up with ease, were super fun to work with, eased any anxiousness, and absolutely showed up for our wild theme, which was totally appreciated.

The Four Nineteen Wedding team made wedding planning enjoyable, beautiful, simple, and we couldn't recommend them more.

Costa Rica Wedding Get Away

I have to tell you I was nervous. Planning a whole wedding in a foreign country. Wiring money to someone I had only talked to via FaceTime. I interviewed multiple companies. In the end I picked Barbara. There is no way I could have made a better choice. We got married in Playa Grande. First, if you are getting married playa grande is across the River from Tamarindo. It’s way better for a wedding. Second, there is nobody better than Barbara. There is no way. She is worth every penny. Shes honest. She knows all the best venders and what she quoted was exactly what the price was. We had a vision of a marriage we wanted and she executed it to perfection. We discussed our budget and she told us exactly what to expect and she was right. There is no other option, hire her if she is available. Check out her website and Instagram and you can match a pick everything you want exactly.

Amazing experience with 419Weddings!

Where do I begin?! Barbara, Natasha & Andrea aka the Team from 419 Weddings are absolutely amazing. From start to finish, I felt so at ease with planning, even during the times that were tough. They are so fast to respond, have amazing vendors they work with, and are so organized. What I appreciated most was the honesty and reassurance we received while working with 419. I would recommend 419 to anyone getting married in Costa Rica! I seriously do not know what we would have done without them. Barbara & Team, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. You made our weekend a dream come true!

Perfection in paradise

Barbara and her team helped my fiance and I pull of our wedding flawlessly in Costa Rica. Living in the states and knowing nobody in the area a planner was a MUST. She found us the perfect beach location with a private dinner steps away.
The team made it a stress free process and the day was amazing and we did not have to worry about anything knowing our team of experts had everything handled. Nadia who did my hair and makeup was wonderful and knows the techniques to make the "look' last even in CR wind and humidity! She even helped me get dressed! Natasha was wonderful the day of as well and helped calm my nerves and even held on to my purse during the ceremony - this was all so helpful considering our wedding was only my fiance and I :)
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Post Covid wedding of our dreams!!!

I don't know where to begin. Barbara, Natasha and Andrea became a part of our family throughout our entire wedding planning process - which we began in 2018!

We were, of course, one of the many postponed weddings of 2020. Ours was actually supposed to be on March 21st, so it was truly a crazy time. Barbara and her whole team were so helpful with canceling, rescheduling, advocating and overall representing us throughout this very long process. After rescheduling twice and finally making it to Costa Rica three years later, 419 kept us so excited and made sure we felt special and cared for.

Barbara is very thorough and always thinking three steps ahead. Even though we tried to be hands off, we'll be honest, we had MANY requests haha. Because of her attention to detail, calm presence, and determination, Barbara turned all of our dreams into reality! Some examples:

Our flower girl basket went missing. Barbara thought quickly, found the perfect flowers for petals, ran to a vendor on the resort and bought a beautiful wooden bowl to take it's place. It ended up going with our wedding better than the flower basket would have!

Mid ceremony, a party down the way started their very loud "mic check". Within moments, Barbara was sprinting down the beach and got them to shut it down immediately.

I have many more where those came from. It was such a pleasure working with this company. We cannot rave about them enough! We mean it when we say they felt like family. You will not be sorry putting your trust in 419 weddings!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've had the pleasure of working with Barbara (and her amazing team!) for a number of years and am always excited to work with her. She's very organized, responds quickly to e-mails and is always helpful in coordinating schedules for myself and the bride. Once the wedding day arrives and the bride and I finally meet face-to-face, everything just flows, stress free as a result of all of Barbara's behind the scenes diligence. Working with someone who has such great attention to detail as Barbara is invaluable! I cannot say enough nice things about working with her and would highly recommend her.

I've had the chance to work with Barbara & her team at Four Nineteen Weddings so many times I've lost count! They're truly an immense pleasure to work with. All of her events flow smoothly the "day of", I can assure it's because months in advance they're working hard on every detail concerning that event. Even moments before the wedding they don't settle for anything less than amazing. As a vendor, communication with the planner is extremely important from start to end. Barbara is extremely approachable and great communicating via email; she's super quick to reply with suggestions, problem-solving, or simply confirming what's necessary at the time. With destination weddings, couples have to leave their comfort zone and trust their wedding planner with so many decisions, luckily, Barbara has this under control. She works with the best vendors and venues in Costa Rica, and openly recommends the couples according to their needs and likes.
