Hotel Wedding Venues in Manuel Antonio

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!!
