Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio is located on the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

There are opportunities to get married down by the sea or up in the hills behind the park overlooking the rainforest and the ocean. Manuel Antonio is a destination wedding location straight out of a fairy tale. Imagine getting married with scarlet macaws flying overhead, monkeys howling, the sea lapping against the shore, and a landscape enveloped in every shade of green.

Playa Langosta

A short jaunt south from the popular and lively beach town of Playa Tamarindo is Playa Langosta. Playa Langosta is a tiny upscale beach community that backs up to a beautiful estuary and an extensive soft sand beach. Everything in Playa Langosta is within easy walking distance, including an all-inclusive resort, a luxury boutique villa hotel, and dozens of high end vacation rentals. The beach here is a dreamy spot for your wedding ceremony. You are also just far enough away from Tamarindo as to not feel like you are in the middle of all the tourist and party action, but close enough to explore some of the amazing dining options, shops, spas, yoga studios, and bars.
