Question

Will you still be having your wedding due to COVID-19?

Answer

Yes! Our wedding is moving forward as planned. Costa Rica has opened its borders to US citizens; however, there are some restrictions/requirements in place. Please visit this site for additional information: https://www.visitcostarica.com/en/costa-rica/planning-your-trip/entry-requirements

Question

What are the COVID related travel restrictions?

Answer

1. Costa Rica requires that you complete a "Health Pass" form 48 hours prior to departure. Before boarding, you will be required to show the QR code. It will likely be provided by your airline carrier, but you can also access it here: https://salud.go.cr/ 2. Costa Rica also requires that you carry insurance that specifically covers COVID related illness/quarantine lodging while in Costa Rica. The website below gives two travel insurance options that include the coverage required: https://www.visitcostarica.com/en/costa-rica/planning-your-trip/entry-requirements 3. Negative COVID tests are not required for entry; however, in order to return to the United States, you must provide a negative COVID test 3 days prior to departure. A doctor will be on site to do antigen COVID testing the morning of Friday, April 16th. The test is $85/pp and can be paid via card. Barbara Broutin will be emailing everyone a form that must be filled out to schedule an appointment.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Both the wedding ceremony and reception will be on the beach, so please be sure to dress light and breezy! However, this is a classy affair, so our dress code is Beach Formal. We've listed some recommendations below: For girls, think nice sundresses or jumpsuits that are light and dressy. For shoes, we recommend nice sandals or wedges. For the guys, we recommend summer suits, linen shirts, khakis, loafers, or boat shoes. We're okay with fitted button-up short-sleeve shirts. (No shorts please!) Ties are not required.

Question

Can I bring my children to the wedding?

Answer

We ask that you leave the littles for the ceremony and reception! While we adore your children, our venue simply does not have the room for all the little ones. Please make it a date night. Of course, the rest of the time is your own so please feel free to bring your children to Costa Rica! If you need help finding childcare for the night of, please contact our wedding planner, Barbara, at barbara@fournineteenweddings.com.

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Of course! We want to spend as much time with all our guests as possible. Please see the Schedule page for more information. We may have other small events planned, and we will continue to keep you updated. We look forward to celebrating with everyone!
