Such a sweet, sweet couple! Despite some language barriers Curtis’s family from the US and Ana’s family from Peru joined together for incredibly great time. At the end of the evening the bride’s family surprised the couple with a comparsa, (wedding carnival) which they planned themselves, bringing all the props with them in their luggage. Thanks so much for letting me part of this great occasion.

I had the pleasure of meeting with this great couple long before their wedding when they made a trip to Costa Rica last year. They stayed at Bahia del Sol and fell in love with it. On the day of the wedding they were so laid back no one would have ever guessed that it was their wedding day. Alessandro and Catherine I am so glad I got to know you! Congratulations!

A wonderful couple who were truly the best of friends! Teresa’s custom designed gown was amazing! During the reception the bride and groom showed off their dancing expertise and the champagne flowed all night. The father of the bride surprised his daughter with a heartwarming video presentation of her life. A perfect wedding day for a perfect couple!

I loved designing this wedding using a bamboo theme, a beige, crème and white color palette and the lily as the signature flower. Great jazz quartet, great food, great couple!

Michelle and Ryan

Michelle and Ryan were married on June 1 on the beach at Langosta Beach Club with an incredible sunset as the backdrop. Instead of hosting a traditional rehearsal dinner this water loving wedding group, from Cape Coral FL., chose to spend the day before the wedding cruising Tamarindo Bay on a catamaran and snorkeling.
We wish you many years of happiness and thanks for letting us be a part of your celebration!

Lindsey and James were thrilled with the enormous turnout of family and friends from all over the US for their wedding at Bahia del Sol, Playa Potrero. A week of planned activities including lots of Imperials proceeded the wedding day where the fun just continued.

Keah and Christopher
Keah was such a pleasure to work with! We communicated for such a long time before the wedding that I felt like we were old friends by the time the wedding date rolled around. Tamarindo Diria was the setting for a very romantic wedding of two people marrying their best friend.

Natasya and Brent

Natasya and Brent were married on April 8 at Tamarindo Diria. A beach ceremony was followed by a candlelit reception dinner at Mixcoa overlooking the scenic pools at Diria. I loved being part of this wedding and watching all the fun this group had. It’s a rare occurrence that every guest is on the dance floor the entire evening! This group really knew how to celebrate. We wish you many years of happiness together.

Jennifer and Trevor

Jennifer and Trevor were married beachfront at sunset at Hotel Capitan Suizo. Their color palette of lime green, white and brown was so much fun to work with. They followed their ceremony with a wonderful reception dinner held directly on the beach and lit with tiki torches and candle light. Congratulations to a great couple!
