FAQs

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Question

What to wear?

Answer

Please wear cocktail attire for the wedding. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or concerns!

Question

Are kids allowed?

Answer

We love your kids, however the ceremony and reception are childfree. We would love to celebrate with your entire family after the weekend!

Question

What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?

Answer

We advise against wearing stilettos for safety as there are a bunch of grassy areas where you might get stuck; chunky heels or heeled sandals are the way to go.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony will be outdoors on a veranda overlooking the Arenal Volcano. Our reception will take place within the attached building, which is open-air but covered.

Question

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

Answer

We ask that you please leave your phones in your hotel room during the ceremony. We understand you want to remember this experience as much as we do, however we have hired professional photographers to do just that. You will have access to view and download all professional pictures taken during the wedding and reception.

Question

Do I need to exchange my money?

Answer

No. Costa Rica accepts and uses the American dollar as currency. However, you may be given change in Costa Rican Colons and will want to exchange or use that before coming back to the US.

Question

Should I notify my bank?

Answer

We suggest letting your bank know that you will be traveling abroad for the specified dates so you can use your cards without being flagged.

Question

CAN we DRINK tap WATER IN COSTA RICA?

Answer

Yes. You can drink the tap water in Costa Rica safely in most every part of the country. In some rural areas, including the Caribbean and in non-touristy places, you may want to stick with bottled water.

Question

Is there transportation being provided between reception and hotels?

Answer

Yes! We will have a shuttle on the day of the ceremony and after the reception to take guests from the venue into La Fortuna. For guests staying at Mountain Paradise, you can easily walk from the venue to your hotel!
