I can honestly say that I had the best time of my life at your resort. The rooms were great, the food excellent, and the staff AMAZING. We had 33 people there for our wedding and each person had a great experience. We all keep saying- let's go back to Flamingo Beach! Chef David made our stay perfect. He was so kind, personable, and extremely helpful. We looked forward to talking with him each day. I have never been to a hotel before that had such a wonderful staff. We will recommend your resort to people in the future and I promise to come back for a visit! Again- thank you very much. Your resort made my wedding dream and vacation come true! Thank you.

My wife and I would like to thank you for the hospitality you showed our family, and most specifically your care for Zeb and Jessica. Their wedding and honeymoon stay will always be a wonderful memory for them, and we want you to know that the resort created a special moment in our lives!
~Chuck and Pat
We had our wedding at the Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa. Our experience exceeded my expectations! All of the staff did a superb job setting up for all of our events. The service was spectacular and food was outstanding. I would recommend your resort to anyone who is interested in having a destination wedding. We had an unforgettable experience.
~Dean and Emily Gvodas
I've genuinely never written to a hotel after a stay but we were so impressed with our holiday and wedding at your resort that I had to write. All the staff were incredibly helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Francisco was especially helpful and Juan Carlos and Jacqueline also made sure everything went perfectly. We had 20 friends and family stay for the week and we all had a thoroughly amazing time.
Many, many thanks
~Tobin & Cleo
Everything was absolutely AMAZING. The whole experience was like a dream! The resort's own wedding planner Ivannia went way above and beyond our expectations and made our wedding day better than we ever could have imagined! I am so thankful to our travel agent for recommending the resort for our special day. All of the staff were so wonderful to us and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. We cannot wait to come back and visit soon. We have recommended this to everyone we know and have nothing but the best memories!
~Laura and Jeff Bobst
We would like to thank you for your hard work in getting everything ready for our wedding. You were great to work with and we appreciate everything you did, and also for answering all of our questions! You were a great help! The wedding and services from the hotel turned out to be wonderful! Thank you again for everything!

Tips and Trends for your Costa Rica Destination Wedding
We are seeing some inspiring trends happening with destination weddings! Here are some of our favorite and most popular:
Friends and Family: There are lots of ways to make your family and friends feel special at your destination wedding; here a few ideas to consider: Welcome them with beach bags filled with sunscreen, bottled water, a map, and brochures of fun things to do while in Guanacaste! Or, how about a native basket with local Costa Rican coffees and some macadamia candy? You can also arrange a little family-friendly competition with a game of beach volleyball, or organize a yoga class for your bridesmaids! We can help coordinate a variety of fun activities for your guests!
Personalized Online Group Reservations: We can provide you with a private web page so your guests can conveniently book online. We can even put you and your fiancé’s picture and other personalized information on the page!
Flowers: Beautiful tropical flowers are abundant and relatively inexpensive in Costa Rica, so be sure to incorporate them into your wedding. Bunched bougainvillea make a lovely bouquet, hibiscus flowers look lovely tucked in your hair.
Environmentally Friendly Weddings: More and more we see our wedding couples “going green,” and we like to encourage it! What better way to celebrate than to use natural, sustainable materials for your décor! One of the most popular eco-friendly wedding favor ideas for couples is to give something organic like local mango or banana paper pads, or packages of seeds.

 Legal requirements / General information
People think that getting married in Costa Rica is a complicated matter but your legal officiant can perform a
wedding with just copies of your passports and thewedding questionnaire. Your legal officiant takes care of the rest.
You do not need to apply for a marriage license from your county or from Costa Rica. According with Costa Rican Laws,
women do not change their last name when they get married.On the legal documentation on your marriage certificate your
names will appear as they currently appear in your passports. You can start the process in order to change your last name
in your country, if this is your desire, when you submit your marriage certificate to your county.
After the ceremony, you will receive a marriage statement sent to the Costa Rican Civil Registry (the governmental
institution which records the marriages in Costa Rica) officially translated into English. You will be able to submit
this document to your Marriages Record Office and get your marriage filed in your country once you get back home without
waiting for the registration process in Costa Rica to be concluded.
The registration process of a Civil Marriage in Costa Rica takes approximately three months afteryour wedding day.
You will be mailed the definitive official marriage certificate issued by the Costa Rican Civil Registry Office and
officially translated by your legal officiant.
The marriage in Costa Rica is recognized in the USA and Canada and it is considered legal internationally.
Your legal officiant services include performing of all the legal documentation you will need, the registration of the
documents at the Costa Rican Civil Registry Office and the translation and mailing of the final marriage certificate.
The fee for their services is $500.00.
Below you will find the necessary information needed to begin planning your Costa Rican wedding.
If you have any questions, you can contact us, and we will be glad to help you. We look forward to meeting you and assisting
you for such a special occasion!
REQUIREMENTS FOR GETTING MARRIED IN COSTA RICA:
- Current passports for Groom, Bride and Witnesses (obligatory / copies needed beforehand).
- Birth Certificates for Groom and Bride (dispensable).
- Single or divorce certificates for groom and bride (dispensable).
- If any one, groom or bride, has been married previously, a photocopy of the final Judgment executing the divorce (dispensable).
- In case the bride has been divorced from previous marriage during the previous 10 months from the wedding date, certifications
issued by two official Costa Rican Physicians stating that she is not currently pregnant.
- Two witnesses at the ceremony. Anyone can serve you as witnesses even your close family or the Hotel employees
(In case you do not have any witnesses the attorneys office can provide them for you without any additional cost).
- Fill out the wedding information questionnaire
It is not necessary to stay in Costa Rica for any period of time before getting married. The documents you bring here do not
need to be translated into Spanish, and you don't need to bring the originals.
When we say “dispensable” it is because we substitute all the dispensable documents with a sworn declaration by the two of you
that are prepared based on the information you give.
All that we need from the couples to prepare the legal documentation is that fill out the questionnaire below:
