(the details)

Questions, answered.

Everything guests keep asking, in one place.

By when should I RSVP?

Kindly reply by August 1, 2027. Head to the RSVP page and enter your name. One reply covers your whole household. Once it is recorded, email our wedding team if you need to make a change.

What airport is closest to the peninsula?

Liberia (LIR, Daniel Oduber Quirós International) is about 45 minutes from the peninsula. Many U.S. cities have direct flights. San José (SJO) looks close on a map and is a five-hour drive; we don't recommend it. More on the Travel & Lodging page.

What travel documents are needed to visit Costa Rica?

Bring a valid passport and proof of return or onward travel. U.S. citizens generally do not need a tourist visa; the immigration officer determines the permitted stay at entry, up to 180 days for travelers in the applicable country group. Review Costa Rica's current official entry requirements before you travel.

What should I know before booking a taxi in Costa Rica?

Always ride with a registered Costa Rican taxi driver. It is common for people at the airport to offer taxi service, but some are not legal drivers and may overcharge you. Official taxis are red with a yellow triangle on the roof, the driver's door, and the front passenger door. The triangle displays the taxi's official number. You can also book a private or shared airport shuttle on our Travel & Lodging page.

What will the weather be like?

November is a transitional month in Costa Rica. The rainy, or green, season typically begins tapering off, and the dry season starts by late November. In Guanacaste, the dry season can begin as early as the first half of November.

What do I wear?

Each event has its own dress code (Breezy & Botanical, Cocktail in Color, and Black Tie), spelled out with each event on the Itinerary. The short version: breathable fabrics, botanical prints, and heels that forgive grass.

Can I bring a Plus One?

When you enter your name on the RSVP page, your household's reply opens with everyone invited in your party listed. If someone you expected is missing, or you have a question about a plus-one, reach out to us directly.

When should I arrive and leave?

Arrive by Thursday morning, November 11, to make the opening night celebration that evening. There are no formal events on Sunday, and breakfast is included with your hotel reservation, so head home whenever suits you.

Do I need to exchange my money?

No. Costa Rica accepts U.S. dollars as currency. You may receive change in Costa Rican colones, so plan to spend or exchange them before returning home. We also suggest letting your bank know that you will be traveling abroad so you can use your credit and debit cards without being flagged.

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Yes! We would love for you to take photos and share them. However, please refrain from taking photos during the ceremony. Our photographer will have that covered!

What time is it in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica observes Central Standard Time (CST) all year. There are no daylight saving time changes.

Do I need any plug adapters?

Outlets are the same as in the U.S., so no electrical adapters or converters are needed.

What should I use to navigate while in Costa Rica?

Google Maps and Waze work best in Costa Rica. Apple Maps does not work here.

How do I contact people while I'm in Costa Rica?

Please confirm your available international plan with your phone provider, and be sure to download WhatsApp. It is the most common way to communicate with locals. As we get closer to the wedding, we will create a WhatsApp group for guests. It will be our main communication channel for timing, meeting points, and important updates.
