Although a mutual friend tried to set Kendal and Joe up, both were busy with their own lives. Kendal already found her one true love, Mission, and Joe was busy graduating the FBI National Academy and welcoming his first grandchild into the world. After a happenstance encounter at the 2023 Annual Guidopalooza, the rest is history, as they say.

Why Costa Rica? Just as Kendal and Joe were falling in love, they also fell in love with Costa Rica. Kendal started surfing just before she met Joe. A chance encounter with a NJ surfer connected them with locals in Jaco. That’s where their love for Costa Rica and pura vida started.

We’re beyond excited to celebrate our marriage with our closest family and friends at the beautiful Villa Punto de Vista in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter, amazing views, and yes—plenty of cocktails to keep the good times flowing! To make your trip as smooth as possible, we’ve gathered all the important details right here on this website.

We are asking guests to stay at one of two luxury villas that are secured for 4 nights, 5 days of Pacific seascape, gourmet delights, and memory making moments surrounded by Costa Rican paradise. Wedding events will take place at Villa Punto de Vista, the "main" location. Villa Costa Vida is a second villa next door, just a five minute walk away. Both offer the same amenities, so rest assured that neither option is going to leave you wanting for more.

You will receive an email within the next couple of weeks on how to book your room, which is first come, first serve. Until the email reaches your inbox, please RSVP and explore this site for more info to help plan your trip. We know villa stays can feel a little different if you’re used to hotels, but don’t worry—the details are easy to handle with all the info on this website and the concierge team ready to help you plan and coordinate your stay. Once that’s all set, your only job is to relax, enjoy the views, and raise a glass (or two) to a great trip ahead.
