Your Wedding, Your Way
Close your eyes. When you think about your wedding day, what do you see? Is it just you two, or do you envision a small gathering of your nearest & dearest? Where are you and what do you see? Beach, rainforest, waterfall, ancient ruins, mountaintop? Whatever you have in mind, we'll help you make it happen.
Your perfect day
Fun, Meaningful Weddings in Costa Rica
Intimate. Sustainable. Unforgettable.
Our Ethos
Imagine this: the great outdoors as your church. The sound of waves, or birdsong, or tropical rain, as your music. The lush green of the rainforest your backdrop and a remote stretch of sand or the rocks beneath a rushing waterfall, your aisle.
Costa Rica isn't extravagant, which is part of what draws people here. It's full of locales that effortlessly embody paradise - picturesque sandy beaches, glorious, rugged coastlines, deep, emerald-green jungles - some of the most beautiful and isolated locations this world has to offer. Here, you can breathe in an experience, instead of checking things off of a to-do list. At ROAM, we ensure your day feels the same way: sweet, relaxed & unfiltered.

How It Works
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your inclusivity policy?
Love is love. We joyfully celebrate all people in love.
Ceremony Details
Can we invite guests?
Absolutely! Whether it's a minimony, a micro-wedding, or something a bit bigger, we love planning weddings for up to 100 guests.
Can I have a wedding party?
Yes! And, if you want your dad to walk you down the aisle, that's great too. We can incorporate whatever traditions you've always dreamed of.
What will the ceremony be like?
Our default is a short & sweet ceremony, personalized to you, but it's completely your call. You can go in depth into your love story, and include fun rituals like ring warming, handfasting, and a sand ceremony. The typical ceremony length is around twenty to thirty minutes.
What's the best time of day for my ceremony?
If you're choosing a heavy traffic area for your ceremony (like a public park, beach or waterfall), mornings are ideal, as there are typically fewer people around. For photography, mornings and late afternoons are best, as midday sun can be harsh in the tropics!
What if I have my own photographer?
No prob. We are happy to connect with your photographer to ensure all the details and logistics are ironed out. When you book with us, we can make vendor recommendations, or you are welcome to seek out your own.
Booking + Payment
How far out should we book?
The sooner the better! While we have been able to accommodate a few elopements and legal marriages the week after booking, booking early means you have more choice with your date and time, and access to our best vendors. It also allows more time for your officiant to personalize and prepare for your ceremony.
Is full payment due right away?
Once a contract has been signed, a deposit payment of $2,000 is due within two business days. The specific payment terms depend on the package selected.
Can I use a credit card to pay?
Yes, you can use a credit card for payment. We will issue you an invoice via Stripe. There is a 4% fee for USD credit cards, and a 6% fee for credit cards that require currency conversion.
What's the best low-cost option for payment?
The easiest, cheapest payment option is via Wise (previously known as TransferWise). This service allows you to do a low-cost international bank transfer. You can also send a wire transfer from your bank.
Travel
What is the best time of year to get married in Costa Rica?
The best time to visit Costa Rica is between December & April, because weather is nearly guaranteed to be clear! This is also why it's peak wedding season. Shoulder season, in May and November, is also an excellent time to get married here - it's not as crowded as it is during high season, and not as rainy as during green season.
Can you help us make travel arrangements?
Yes! Our sister company, ROAM Wild Travel, specializes in honeymoons and special event travel in Central America. We are happy to help you and your guests plan anything you need to.
Where are the best places in Costa Rica to get married?
That all depends. It's such a beautiful country, with no shortage of stunning backdrops - volcanoes to waterfalls, rainforest to beach. Depending on how many guests you'll have, some locations are preferable to others. Logistically, the Tamarindo area is a popular spot to get married because of its proximity to Liberia's international airport (LIR), but the whole coastline of Guanacaste is peppered with beautiful beaches and beautiful venues: Nosara, Samara, Tamarindo, Papagayo, Playa Langosta and more.
If you're looking for a greener backdrop, consider La Fortuna/Arenal (the volcano is a bonus); Nicoya Peninsula: Santa Teresa and Malpais; or the Central Pacific: Playa Hermosa, Manuel Antonio, Dominical, or Uvita.
For really adventurous couples who love the outdoors, the Osa Peninsula is a stunner, but hard to get to.
