Planning Your Costa Rica Ceremony
Everything you need to know, whether you're getting married or renewing your vows
Best Time for an Outdoor Ceremony
Dry Season: December to April
The most popular time for Costa Rica ceremonies. Sunshine, low humidity, and perfect Pacific sunsets. Book early — venues fill fast during peak season.
Green Season: May to November
Lush tropical landscapes, dramatic skies, and fewer crowds. Mornings are typically clear, and rates are more affordable.
Legal Wedding vs. Vow Renewal
Getting Legally Married
Requires valid passports, apostilled birth certificates, proof of single status if previously married, and two witnesses. Our coordinators handle documentation, a licensed officiant, and civil registry filing.
Renewing Your Vows
No legal paperwork needed — a vow renewal is a personal ceremony, completely flexible on location, format, and guest count. Simply bring each other.
Common Questions
Do we need to get legally married in Costa Rica, or can we just renew our vows?
It's entirely your choice. A legal wedding requires passports, apostilled birth certificates, and a licensed officiant to file paperwork. A vow renewal is a personal ceremony with no legal requirements — any location, any format, any guest count.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks ahead to secure your preferred date and vendors, though we've coordinated beautiful last-minute ceremonies in as little as a week.
Can we include our children or family?
Absolutely. Many couples choose to include their kids, siblings, or closest friends. We coordinate group villa stays, family activities, and a ceremony setup that feels welcoming for everyone.
What is the best time of year for an outdoor ceremony?
Costa Rica's dry season (December through April) offers the most reliable sunny weather. Jaco's rainy season ceremonies have their own moody, lush beauty too — and we always have a backup plan.
How many guests can Jaco venues accommodate?
Intimate venues host 10–25 guests for an exclusive feel, while hillside palaces and villa estates accommodate 60–200+ guests. We match your headcount to the perfect venue.
