How to Get Married in Costa Rica
If you’ve ever dreamed about getting married in a beautiful beach location during a tropical sunset with all of your close friends and family with you then you are not alone. Tropical destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular with brides and grooms looking to have a unique wedding that they will never forget. A Costa Rica destination wedding can give you the exotic locale you are looking for.
If you’d like a Manuel Antonio luxury wedding in Costa Rica there are steps you’ll need to take to make sure it goes off without a hitch. Planning a wedding in a foreign country can be a little more difficult and involved than planning one at home, but as long as you prepare yourself you’ll end up having the wedding of your dreams.
1. Don’t forget to bring all the necessary paperwork with you to Costa Rica. You will need to bring your passport, certified copy of your birth certificate, certified copy of your police record, and an affidavit to prove you are single prior to the marriage. If you are divorced or widowed then you’ll need to bring a copy of divorce papers or death certificate, and at least 300 days will need to have passed since either event took place. You may also need to take a pregnancy test. Much of this paperwork will need to be faxed or scanned one month prior to the wedding so ask your Costa Rica wedding coordinator what they need you to send in to them and when. In addition, you should always check with your wedding coordinator or the local consulate for any laws that have changed or been updated recently.
2. If you are inviting family and friends to your Costa Rica Destination Wedding then they will act as your witnesses, you’ll need at least two. Otherwise you can make arrangements with your wedding planner.
3. Weddings are all in the planning, and when you are arranging a Manuel Antonio Luxury Wedding you should begin preparing as far in advance as possible to make sure everything goes smoothly. Make all your reservations, book the ceremony and reception locations, let your guests know the details, ask for vacation time, and begin researching wedding vendors as soon as possible so that everything is ready once you arrive.
4. Don’t forget that you will probably have at least a few moments of stress while planning your wedding, but as long as you remember to breathe and keep calm you will be able to get through them quickly. Planning weddings can be stressful, and planning a destination wedding requires more thought and detailed preparation since you aren’t going to be in Costa Rica while doing most of the arranging. Be prepared for a few snags, and remember that the most important part of any wedding is the people participating, especially the bride and groom.
