Weddings, Proposals & Private Celebrations
Some moments deserve an entire journey
A celebration in Costa Rica does not have to be a single evening. It can be the reason everyone you love travels somewhere together.
Collections
Your celebration, and the days around it.
We help connect the pieces that usually take months to coordinate from another country: arrival, transportation, where everyone stays, how everyone eats, the celebration itself, and what happens the day after.
Celebrations are designed around the people celebrating them. Every couple, every family and every group is welcome here.
Forever Begins in Costa Rica
Private Wedding Journey
Celebrations · 6–7 nights · approx. 10–20 guests

Your wedding does not have to begin and end in a few hours. Spend the first chapter together at El Retiro — arrivals, dining, preparation and the celebration itself — then continue into Arenal, where volcano landscapes, thermal waters and shared adventures become another chapter. Your guests don’t simply attend your wedding. They experience Costa Rica with you.

- Welcome evening
- Flowers and decor options
- Farewell experience
- Private group transportation

The Big Yes
Private Proposal Journey
The couple + approximately 8–12 close friends and family.
From approximately USD $8,500 per journey

- A proposal setting chosen with you
