About this vendor

More than wedding planners, we are Costa Rica experience designers.

At Macaw, we believe a wedding should feel like an experience, not a production.

We specialize in intimate celebrations, elopements, micro weddings, and destination weddings throughout Costa Rica, helping couples create meaningful moments in some of the country's most breathtaking locations—from tropical beaches and waterfalls to volcanoes and lush rainforests.

What started as a passion for showcasing the beauty of Costa Rica evolved into a boutique wedding planning service designed for couples who want a seamless celebration without the stress of coordinating everything from abroad.

We work closely with each couple to understand their vision, style, and priorities, then bring together the right locations, vendors, and details to create an experience that feels personal, effortless, and unforgettable.

Whether you're planning an adventurous elopement for two or a destination wedding surrounded by your closest family and friends, our goal is simple:

To make planning easy and your wedding experience extraordinary.

What Makes Macaw Different

Many destination wedding planners act primarily as coordinators, connecting couples with a list of vendors and leaving them to manage multiple conversations, contracts, and timelines.

At Macaw, we take a more integrated approach.

Because we are both planners and service providers, our couples benefit from a more cohesive experience. Instead of coordinating with numerous companies, they work with a team that understands the entire vision from the beginning and helps bring it to life.

Our local expertise, trusted network, and hands-on involvement allow us to create weddings that feel personal, intentional, and effortless. We believe planning a destination wedding should be excitinㅎ, not overwhelming, and our goal is to make the journey as enjoyable as the celebration itself.

Macaw Experiences is a premier wedding planning service operating out of Quepos, Costa Rica.

Costa Rica Elopement

We hired Macaw Experiences to plan our elopement and travel in Costa Rica and we have zero regrets. They were absolutely fantastic from the beginning of planning to the end of our trip (a total of six months!)
They listened to our ideas, built upon them and gave us new ones, and made the best suggestions that we would have never known about. They went over and beyond what we could have imagined they would. They truly cared about us and wanted to be sure that we had the most memorable and special time. They even threw in a few surprises for us along the way! This made our elopement extra special because it was just the two of us.
We could not recommend hiring Macaw Experiences more. We would do it a thousand times over if we could. And we will definitely be calling them for help to plan our next trip to Costa Rica when the time comes!

Un elopment perfecto de principio a fin ✨️

Nuestro elopement fue simplemente perfecto. Desde el primer momento nos ayudaron a que todo el proceso fuera mucho más fácil, quitándonos preocupaciones y permitiéndonos disfrutar plenamente de esta experiencia tan especial.

Cada detalle fue completamente personalizado y se adaptaron a nuestro presupuesto sin comprometer la calidad. Además, siempre estuvieron atentos a nuestras ideas y solicitudes, haciendo que el día reflejara exactamente lo que queríamos.

Las fotografías y los videos superaron nuestras expectativas. Lograron capturar cada momento de una manera hermosa y auténtica, permitiéndonos revivir una y otra vez todas las emociones de ese día tan especial.

Se nota el amor, la dedicación y el profesionalismo que ponen en su trabajo. Gracias a ellos vivimos una experiencia inolvidable.

Los recomendamos con total confianza!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
