Question
How do I get there?
Answer
To join us for our special day, we recommend flying into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), located in Alajuela. It is the closest international airport to our wedding venue in Playa Herradura, approximately 1.5 hours away by car. From the airport, you have a couple of convenient options to reach the venue: -Rent a car – a great choice if you'd like to explore more of Costa Rica at your own pace. -Book private transportation – perfect if you prefer a relaxing, hassle-free ride. You can do this through Viator or we have some private services. This will come as a first come first serve basis, but a highly family known recommendation for a private ride is an option. This contact has a team of drivers waiting for you.

Question
How should I prepare for the weather?
Answer
February is one of the best months to visit Costa Rica! It’s the dry season on the Pacific coast, which means you can expect plenty of sunshine, warm temperatures, and little to no rain — perfect for a beach celebration! Daytime temperatures typically range between 82–90°F, while evenings are comfortably warm. We recommend packing light, breathable clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable shoes for exploring or dancing the night away. Even though rain is unlikely, a light layer or shawl for breezy nights can come in handy. Get ready to soak up the sun and enjoy the pura vida vibes!
Question
How many days should I book my room?
Answer
This is your vacation too, and we truly hope you take time to soak in the beauty of Costa Rica! While you’re welcome to stay for as long (or as little) as you'd like, the key dates to keep in mind are February 6th – 8th. We’ll be kicking things off with a Welcome Dinner on Friday, February 6th at 6:00 PM, and we’d love to see you there! But no worries at all if you can’t make it. The wedding ceremony will be on Saturday, February 7th at 5:00 PM, so we kindly ask that you arrive before then to join us for the most special part of the weekend.
Question
Should I bring cash/ does everywhere take credit card?
Answer
Most places, especially resorts will take credit card, however we encourage everyone to bring cash to Costa Rica as there will be some places that only take cash! Especially if you want to buy souvenirs, stop at small local restaurants, use cash for tipping, etc. We encourage you to order foreign currency at your bank prior to the trip (Costa Rican Colones), but you can also just bring US cash as most places take cash as well.
Question
Where should I look to stay elsewhere in the area?
Answer

Question
Safety Tips and Information - PLEASE READ
Answer
Costa Rica is a warm, welcoming country, and the locals are incredibly kind. As with any destination, especially in busy areas, it’s always good to stay aware and take simple precautions to keep your trip smooth and enjoyable. A few helpful tips: Avoid wearing flashy jewelry or designer items, especially when exploring downtown Jacó. Keep your valuables secure—either with you or stored safely at your accommodations. Stay aware of your surroundings, particularly at night or when out in downtown Jacó. Pickpocketing can happen in crowded areas, so just stay alert to anything that feels out of place. These are common travel best-practices and nothing to stress about—we just want everyone to feel comfortable and enjoy the celebration to the fullest!
