An Invitation-Only, Eco Sanctuary of Love, Accepting only a handful of guests per year

Nestled in the misty mountains of Orocovis, Templīs Aquaria is a private, off-grid eco-sanctuary that opens its gates only to select couples seeking a sacred and unforgettable wedding experience. This is not a venue—this is protected, living land. Waterfalls flow, animals roam freely, and every ceremony is exquisitely unique, intentional, and rooted in authenticity.

To protect the spirit of the land and the sacred waters that run through it, we now operate as an invitation-only sanctuary. Only a small number of aligned couples are accepted each year. If your love feels wild, reverent, and deeply intentional—we welcome your application with open hearts.

🌿 What Makes Templīs Aquaria Unique

The Four Rivers Ceremony – A ritual that can only be experienced here. Four rivers converge on the sanctuary’s land from each cardinal direction. Each partner gathers sacred water the day before their ceremony and merges them in a symbolic ritual found nowhere else on Earth.

Riverfront Ceremony Deck – Suspended above a rainforest stream, ideal for heartfelt vows. Occasionally, the 90-foot waterfall graces the moment with her presence.

Seasonal 90-ft Waterfall – A dramatic backdrop that appears after heavy rain, flowing just behind the ceremony deck.

Year-Round 70-ft Waterfall – A secluded rainforest treasure just a 5-minute walk from the venue. It flows all year and creates jaw-dropping photo opportunities.

Rope Bridge Photo Moment – A magical jungle feature and guest favorite for portraits.

Outdoor Jungle Baths – Soak beneath the stars in natural springwater the night before your wedding in this ultimate self-care ritual.

Wildlife Companions – Peacocks Shiva & Shakti, our bougie flock of fluffy-footed chickens, and our wild duck Mrs. Waddles, who flew in one day and chose to lay her eggs here. Truly one of the most beloved highlights of the sanctuary.

Eco-Conscious & Off-Grid – Solar-powered, spring-fed, and designed in harmony with the natural world.

MAGICAL beyond our wildest dreams!!!!

I just had my wedding at Templīs Aquaria April 2nd, 2025… and I finally understand what we created.

I’ve poured so much of my heart and soul into this land, curating every detail, building every structure, growing the gardens, welcoming the peacocks, and dreaming into being a space that could hold love in its truest, wildest, most sacred form.

But experiencing it as a BRIDE… changed everything.

From the moment I walked down the garden isle on my wedding day, I felt like I was stepping into a dream I didn’t even realize we had fully brought to life. The sound of the river beneath the ceremony deck, the soft wind through the trees, our animals wandering freely as if they were guests… it was all so alive. Sacred, playful, peaceful. Just… right.

The Four Rivers Ceremony, which I had envisioned so long ago, felt even more powerful in practice. Collecting the water from our land, merging it with Dominick, and beginning our marriage with that ritual, it rooted me in a way I’ll never forget.

I saw my guests truly relax, connect, breathe deeper and light up with the magic in the air. People danced barefoot under the bistro lights all night, sipped from crystal goblets, and told us over and over that it felt like they were part of something ancient and meaningful and completely blown away by its fairytale like ambience.

Even though I built this place (alongside my husband Dominick), I was still surprised by how it held me. And that’s the magic of Templīs Aquaria, it gives back. It’s so alive. It meets you where you are, and it celebrates your love with you in a warm embrace of natures sounds...

To anyone considering this venue: just know that it’s not a typical wedding venue...and that’s the point. It’s for couples who want connection, nature, freedom, and soul. And I’m so honored to share it now not just as a host, but as someone who stood in the center of it, heart wide open, and said YES!

I hope each couple has the same magical and mystical experience at our venue and take home the sweetest of once in a lifetime memories!

With deepest love,

Nuestro Paraíso Perfecto!

OMG, where do we even start?! We had the most increíble elopement at Templis Aquaria. From the moment we stepped into the venue, it felt like un sueño. Kalina y Dominick made us feel como familia, and they took care of every little detail so we could focus on enjoying our moment. The waterfall deck its going to be Bellísimo. We did our ceremony on the rock facing the waterfall. And the outdoor tubs? Literalmente, best honeymoon vibes ever! Honestly, it was the perfect mix of naturaleza y romance—just how we dreamed. This place is paraíso, y si estás buscando algo auténtico, look no further. We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary. Gracias por todo, de corazón!

Wow factor = off the charts!

When Peter and I started our search, we kept dreaming of something that looked like something out of a fantasy movie, unique, untrammeled, and absolutely teaming with life. We had surrendered to the possibility that we would probably just have to settle for the boring and traditional venues, until we heard by word of mouth about TEMPLIS AQUARIA.

We had never seen the venue before so took a leap of faith, but when we arrived after a long flight from San Francisco we were completely blown away! We had a small destination wedding and reception, and it was truly the most magnificent and magical night of our lives. We got to spend 4 nights in this magical place, which helped us ease into the ceremony, make sure everything flowed well, and enjoy the process.

Kalina & Dominick were outstanding, helping me along the way with my 10,000 bits on anxiety I had. The venue is personal, authentic, down to earth and WILD, yet so so gorgeous. Statues of the greek water bearers through out, the tropical flowers, the herb gardens, the chickens/ Shiva and outdoor tubs made this like a fairytale honeymoon and wedding all in one! We fell in love over and over again with this venue.

10000 stars out of 10! Highly recommend!!!
