The Papagayo Peninsula is Costa Rica’s luxury playground, with pristine beaches, beautiful landscapes, and high-end resorts. One of the biggest perks? Exclusivity. Papagayo feels like a private oasis, perfect for couples who want an intimate yet luxurious celebration.

Getting here is a breeze! The Liberia International Airport (LIR) is just 40-50 minutes away, with direct flights from major U.S. and Canadian cities. And once you land, you and your guests can enjoy world-class golf, snorkeling, zip-lining, and even sunset catamaran cruises. It’s the kind of place where a wedding feels like a vacation.

The Papagayo Peninsula is home to some incredible wedding venues, from beachfront gazebos to enchanting ballrooms and gardens. So whether you want a barefoot ceremony on the sand or a grand celebration with breathtaking views, you’ll find a perfect spot.

Plus getting married in Costa Rica as a foreigner is relatively straightforward and hassle-free.

If you're having your wedding at an all-inclusive resort, most wedding packages include all the essentials like the officiant, venue setup, floral arrangements, reception, and food and drink. Higher-tier wedding packages will add DJ, photography and videography. Always budget 25-50% extra for add-ons!

Papagayo resorts can handle any group size, from intimate weddings with just a few guests to larger celebrations with over 300 people. Some resorts have a maximum guest capacity, so it's important to check with us for specific limitations.

The majority of couples do not get legally married here, they only have a symbolic ceremony. But, if you prefer to have a legal wedding, we'll help you get a marriage license. The process typically involves providing identification, birth certificates, and other documentation. Some resorts we work with offer wedding packages that include assistance with legal requirements.

There are pros and cons to every season! Papagayo offers warm weather year-round, but the high season runs from December to April. The off-peak months (May through November) offer lower rates, but there is a higher chance of rain and hurricanes. You'll also want to keep away from major holidays like Thanksgiving, as rates tend to be much higher for you and your guests.

Of course! We can help you customize the wedding packages! You can add extras like upgraded floral arrangements, specialty cocktails, unique entertainment, and photography or video services. Expect to spend 25-50% more than the wedding package on these customizations.
