We pioneered Costa Rica

luxury weddings

As the first destination wedding/event planners in Costa Rica, we pioneered the luxury event industry there and have worked in the country longer than anyone else. And we continue to grow every year.

We are the only Costa Rica event-planning company to have both local and U.S.-based offices. Which means we’re always there for you, available and ready, at home or abroad. We pride ourselves on our quick response time, and the extra care and attention we give as your big day approaches.
