Dream wedding in Costa Rica

I had the pleasure of working alongside Dahianna and her team. Dahianna was my amazing wedding planner— I live in the US and my family lives in Costa Rica. We wanted to make it easier for everyone so we chose to do it in a church in Costa Rica with our closest family and friends. I really wanted to get married in a Catholic Church and find the perfect venue close by the airport. We found the cutest little church in Belen and the most beautiful venue in Campo Lago… Dahianna helped me figure out the logistics of getting married in a Catholic Church. She helped me with design. She went to check out the venues when I couldn’t. She found all the vendors everything and on the day of the wedding I didn’t lift a finger she did everything. Her team was amazing. Her English is amazing. The whole day was magical and I could not be more grateful and thankful that I found such an amazing person to help me through the journey. I’m actually sad that it’s over. I literally tell her I will see her again because it’s gonna be weird not talking to her all the time if you’re looking for an amazing wedding planner look no further Dahianna is your girl 💕

Costa Rica Dream Wedding

If there was a way to rate higher than 5 Stars for Dahianna and her entire team, we would select that as fast as possible. From the very beginning of the process, Dahianna was so kind, responsive, and fun to work with. Our wedding was a destination wedding and we knew we needed someone to guide us. She worked with us every step of the way to build our dream wedding. She is incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and has incredible vision to take our conversations and bring them into reality. We thought building our dream wedding would be stressful, but Dahianna made it the opposite. We enjoyed every step of the way and were able to relax and be present on our big day. Every vendor and person she recommended was held to the same high standard she holds herself - and they all delivered an amazing experience. We would recommend Dahianna to anyone in a heartbeat. Hard to put into words just how flawless of a process she provided. Amazing and wonderful person and team.

Dream Wedding In Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

Hiring Dahianna with Sweetheart Weddings was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was attentive to every single detail and truly made my dream wedding come to life. She met with me regularly, made sure she fully understood my vision and budget, and handled everything with such care and professionalism.

What impressed me most was her incredible knowledge of the best vendors all over Costa Rica—she connected us with people who were not only talented but also trustworthy, which made the planning process so smooth. She is organized, creative, and unbelievably easy to work with.

Beyond being an exceptional planner, she became like family to us throughout this journey. Her warmth, support, and genuine dedication made me feel so cared for every step of the way. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and truly enjoy my wedding day knowing everything was in the best hands.

If you are looking for someone who can turn any dream into reality while making the process joyful and stress-free, Dahianna is absolutely the one. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Made our wedding magical!

We partnered with Dahianna for our destination wedding in Costa Rica and really appreciated the time and care she put into the process. We had lots of calls together, which helped us feel supported and in the loop every step of the way, and she met with us on site a couple of times to walk through details in person. She helped us find the perfect venue, and was also great at introducing us to local vendors and being our liaison with them.

She truly brought our vision to life even better than we could have imagined, all while diligently sticking to our budget and never trying to push us to spend more than we were comfortable with. On the wedding day, Dahianna and her team were very attentive and quickly dealt with challenges behind the scenes so that we could enjoy the celebration without even knowing they’d come up.

We couldn’t have done it without her!

Absolutely AMAZING!

We are from the US and had our wedding in Costa Rica on March 8th, 2025. As I am sure most of you know having a destination wedding can be very challenging unless of course you have the right person walking you through an assisting you to create the exact vision that you so much desire for your wedding day. With Dahianna we had all of that and more. She collaborated with us on every idea we had even when we would change them she was there to suggest, help, and adapt to any of our wants and needs down to each and every detail. For each vision we had she had ideas, options, and gave us multiple top of the line vendors to choose from. The day of our wedding she and her team were there with us every step of the way helping us and coordinating the vendors with each and every detail in order to create an amazing day for us which she did beyond exception.
Through our wedding planning journey she made us feel like a knowledgeable friend that had connections that we didn’t in Costa Rica. She is fair in cost and can work with any budget to find the best vendor for your event.
If you are planning a wedding in Costa Rica I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out to her and scheduling an online meeting so you can see for yourself how kind, wonderful, trustworthy, and just as excited she is for your day as you are before booking with anyone else. She truly cares about you and about making your day special. Dahianna goes above and beyond!!!
Thank you SO MUCH Dahianna for all that you did to create an amazing day for my husband, our family, and I. You are one of a kind! Pura Vida! 💗🌸

Dream Costa Rican wedding

Our Costa Rican wedding was a dream! We highly recommend Dahianna/Sweetheart wedding. Planning all the way from Virginia in the USA created anxiety for me, which was quickly laid to rest with our first Zoom planning call. Dahianna is calm, confident and professional. It was a pleasure creating and planning along side her. Despite this being our second wedding and being a bit older in age, she did not once make us feel our occasion was less special than any other! The company is also bilingual which helped us naviagate planning with our vendors. Sweetheart wedding listened to all of the details we wanted and suggested more that we had not even thought of. From the memorial items we requested to engraved coconuts on the beach for our guests, they truly thought of everything. Our day was absolutely perfect and magical. We are already planning to use Dahianna/Sweetheart wedding in the future for our 5 year anniversary vow renewal!

Best decision we made!

Hiring Dahianna and Susan was the best decision we made for our wedding! We interviewed more than a few wedding planners from Costa Rica and once we met Dahianna we knew she was the perfect choice. Dahianna was response, professional, and knew our preferences so well by the time we go into the details of planning. She travel across the entire country the the course of a few days to tour venues with us. Ultimately she ended up finding our perfect ceremony venue and reception venue. The wedding was perfection and everything we envisioned! If we ever do a vow renewal, Dahianna will be the first person we call.

DaCruz Wedding

To say Dahianna was the most attentive, responsive, and all around amazing wedding planner is an understatement. We had a destination in Costa Rica, most of our family & guests traveling from NY - and Dahianna went above and beyond every step of the way to make sure every aspect of our wedding was carried out thoughtfully and seamlessly.

She put her heart into every detail that was important to us for our day. We could not have had the wedding experience we wanted without her & her team of vendors.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Susan and Dahianna for our wedding in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Not only do they have lovely taste in design, but they are also great at negotiating with vendors. They made our dream wedding come true and did so while respecting our budget. I highly recommend working with them if you're planning a destination wedding in Costa Rica!

We couldn't have planned our wedding without Dahianna & Susan!

My husband and I had our wedding in Costa Rica and when we started planning, thinking of how we were going to put all the pieces together felt overwhelming. We reached out to Susan immediately felt her care and dedication for our wedding so we decided to entrust her and her team to bring our wedding to life. She connected us with her wonderful associate Dahianna who helped us navigate through lots of hurdles, communications and some mishaps we had with our vendors. We're so thankful for her and the dedication & care she put forth in ensuring our day was absolutely amazing. She directed us to vendors who made our day wonderful and worked alongside with me on all the changes we made throughout our planning process. Our day wouldn't have been possible and stress free if it wasn't for Dahianna. We're truly so thankful for her and the care she expressed towards us. Costa Rica is such a beautiful place, filled with love and gratitude and. Dahianna was a reflection of that and more. We couldn't have asked for a better individual to care for us on the most important and monumental day of our lives. We're eternally grateful for you
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
