FAQs

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Wedding: While we would have loved a black-tie celebration, the warm weather calls for something a bit lighter. "Beach formal" strikes the perfect balance: elevated and elegant, yet comfortable for the setting. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear a lightweight suit. Ladies are encouraged to wear floor-length gowns, cocktail dresses or elegant maxi dresses in breathable fabrics like silk, chiffon or linen blends. Note the events will be held on grass (not sand), so we recommend block heels, wedges or dressy flats rather than stilettos. Please, no flip-flops, shorts or casual sundresses. We kindly ask guests to avoid wearing white, cream or sage. Other Events: White Welcome Party: Guests are encouraged to wear all-white attire. Waterfall Hike: Closed-toe shoes with a good grip (no flip-flops; Keens/Chacos are fine), extra clothes, extra shoes, sunscreen and towels.

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about?

Answer

Yes! We'd love for you to join us for the white welcome party and the waterfall hike. Please refer to the "Schedule" tab for more information.

Question

Will transportation be provided for the events?

Answer

Yes, we will have a shuttle from the JW Marriott hotel to all wedding events. Shuttle schedule will be shared closer to the event date.

Question

Transportation from the Airport

Answer

While we have not organized transportation to and from the airports, to the extent you would like to set up a transfer we highly recommend reaching out to David (+506-8803-1862) who has been amazing in helping us coordinate our transportation.

Question

Is childcare available?

Answer

In addition to the kids club at the JW Marriott, professional nanny and babysitting services are available, so parents can spend a relaxing day together, enjoy an extended dinner, or even attend a special event, all worry-free. The hotel (and our wedding planner) has recommended the services of Guana Nana (nanny services). Their rates begin at $10 per hour plus taxes and fees. Please reach out directly to Solimar Guevara from Guana Nana at +506-8684-4551 to coordinate for your nanny needs.

Question

Do I need a passport to travel?

Answer

Yes! You must have a current valid passport and a return ticket to exit Costa Rica within 90 days. Your passport has to be valid for at least six months after the arrival date to Costa Rica. If you already have a passport, be sure to check the expiration date. If you do not already have a valid passport, it is a good idea to apply early to be sure you receive it in time for the trip.

If you are an American or Brazilian citizen you do not need a visa to travel to Costa Rica.
