When you book a Marriott to host your destination wedding, you'd expect a high level of service. Well, Los Suenos really topped that! All of our guests said they had the best time and the events team (Katherine) was amazing to work with. The food was amazing and the hotel itself is stunning. I could not express how grateful I am for every single employee who really went the extra mile to make our day special. Talk about endless bottles of champagne and chocolate strawberries too! My love for Marriott has always been there but I have a new found love for the Los Sueños property in particular and all the wonderful people who helped plan the best wedding ever!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Jeanette, our wedding coordinator at Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica. From the very beginning, she was in constant communication with us, sending daily messages that made us feel completely prepared and at ease planning a destination wedding. Her support extended not only to us, but also to our family and friends who traveled to Costa Rica to celebrate our special day. We had a 50-person wedding, and Jeanette handled every detail flawlessly. She guided us through all of our choices—from flowers, chairs, food selections, and venue options, to coordinating the DJ handoff and leading an incredibly thorough and reassuring rehearsal walkthrough. Her organization, professionalism, and calm presence made the entire process seamless. What truly set Jeanette apart was her attentiveness and eye for detail. From the big-picture planning to the smallest touches—like the flower petals leading to the arches where we were married—everything was executed beautifully. She genuinely cared about our vision and made sure it came to life perfectly. Jeanette went above and beyond in every way, and we are endlessly grateful for her dedication, patience, and passion. Thanks to her, our wedding day was stress-free, meaningful, and absolutely unforgettable. If you’re considering a destination wedding at Secrets Papagayo, you could not be in better hands than with Jeanette.

A Dream Venue for Intimate & Luxury Weddings – Villa Ocaso As a wedding planner with many years in the industry, I’ve had the privilege of working at some of the most beautiful venues around the country. Villa Ocaso in Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica, truly stands out as one of the most exceptional. I recently planned an intimate wedding here for one of my clients, and the experience exceeded every expectation. What makes Villa Ocaso unique is that the owner herself is a former wedding planner with 15+ years of experience and a background in the luxury hotel industry, including Four Seasons. She has thoughtfully designed every detail of this 9-bedroom villa to combine the refined service and polish of a luxury hotel with the warmth, privacy, and character of a private villa. There is no villa like it in Costa Rica. Beyond its breathtaking architecture and ocean views, Villa Ocaso seamlessly weaves in the traditions and culture of the country, so guests never feel separated from the authentic Costa Rican experience—even while surrounded by the luxury of a world-class property. The service is equally exceptional. The staff, concierge, and butler team deliver the kind of attentive hospitality you would expect at a five-star resort, but with the intimacy and flexibility that only a private villa can provide. For weddings, Villa Ocaso is a dream. It offers versatile spaces for rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, poolside receptions, and post-wedding brunches. My clients felt at home yet completely pampered, and every guest commented on how the villa created a perfect blend of luxury and authenticity. As a planner, I deeply appreciate how much thought has gone into making Villa Ocaso a wedding-ready venue—from logistics and flow to curated guest experiences. It’s rare to find a property where the owner truly understands both the hospitality and event side of weddings, and that’s what makes this place so special. For couples looking for a luxury destination wedding in Costa Rica, Villa Ocaso is an unforgettable choice.

Our wedding at Amor Arenal was the most magical day, something beyond my wildest dreams. The rainforest setting took our breath away, the staff made every moment feel effortless and full of love. It was the most beautiful soul-filled experience. A day we will never forget. The resort itself is a true sanctuary — nestled in the lush rainforest with breathtaking views of the Arenal Volcano. Every aspect of the property exudes tranquility and luxury, with meticulous attention to detail evident throughout. Our suite was, without question, the most beautiful room we have ever stayed in. The combination of natural materials, thoughtful design, and a private plunge pool overlooking the forest created an atmosphere of serene indulgence. We chose Amor Arenal as the setting for our wedding, and it could not have been more perfect. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was flawless. Their professionalism, kindness, and genuine care made our special day even more memorable. From the ceremony to the celebration, everything exceeded our expectations in every way.

We had our wedding here in February and by the time we left, the entire hotel staff was giving us hugs as we departed. Our coordinator, Ale was truly an angel. She was kind, attentive, and sincere. No wedding comes without its fair share of roadblocks, but Alejandra made the process feel seamless and easy. In addition, all of their vendor recommendations were excellent. From the flowers and decor, to our incredible DJ Diego Salas, we received so many compliments about the experience. Our guests constantly told us they could feel the love at our celebration. Costa Rica is a beautiful place and Andaz is another addition to its charm. Can’t thank the staff enough. We will be back soon!

When we chose Arenas Del Mar as our wedding venue back in 2019 we knew right away we were in amazing hands with Elaine Solano as our event planner. From the very beginning she was incredibly knowledgeable, a wonderful communicator and always so patient and flexible with us. Planning a wedding from afar can be challenging, but she made it so easy. When the pandemic hit in 2020, a couple days before we were to fly out to Costa Rica, Elaine stepped up in a huge way to help us. She contacted the majority of our vendors and officiant to postpone. She understood how difficult the situation was but stayed positive throughout; she never once made us worry about the money aspect of it. For the next year and a half we stayed in touch with Elaine and as things started to open back up we picked a new date (December 2021) and kickstarted the planning again. It was seamless, as if we had never stopped. And from the moment we arrived in Costa Rica through to our wedding day, Elaine made it magical. Every step of the way she handled every detail and didn’t miss a beat. She was even flexible up to the wedding day itself, planning back up plans in case it rained. We loved Arenas Del Mar and all of the hospitality staff there; it’s a fantastic paradise that we can’t wait to visit again. But Elaine Solano made our wedding trip amazing and stress free. We are so grateful to her and any couple would be so lucky to have her help them plan their special day. Highly recommend!!

We hosted our welcome party, rehearsal dinner, and wedding at El Mangroove in February 2025 and had the most wonderful experience. Paola and her team were incredibly professional & couldn't do enough for us and our group of over 100 guests. Both us and our guests thought the value was 10/10. The quality of service & the food were standouts for us. Highly recommend hosting at this property!

Where do I begin??? As a bride, planning a wedding is beyond stressful ESPECIALLY from overseas. However, I can 100% say with absolutely certainty that the Westin Reserva Conchal was the BEST decision I've ever made in my whole life! They made planning my wedding so easy and they went above and beyond for everything!!! Milady was my wedding planner and I feel like she's family! Don't hesitate. Pick this vendor! You definitely won't be disappointed!

Amazing experience and dream wedding fulfilled by the staff at margaritaville Costa Rica. The place is great, but the staff and people were the difference for an incredible experience and wonderful memories. Rosaura and all staff, will help make your day special and complete.

We had our wedding on 11-11-11. We had 50 guests. We roasted a pig, took a sunset Cruise and danced the night away. It was all very magical.
