FAQs

Question

Do I need to have a REAL ID to travel?

Answer

Currently the new REAL ID requirement starting May 7 is for domestic travel only. Your passport will be sufficient and is required for international travel to Costa Rica.

Question

Is there a dress code for the wedding?

Answer

Cocktail attire, but remember, we’ll be in the jungle! So ladies, feel free to break out the bright colors and bold prints in a maxi dress or elevated sundress. Gentlemen, a lightweight suit or dress pants and a button down are great, and if you’ve been wanting to try a fun color, now’s your chance! Both the ceremony and reception will be taking place in the sand, so please keep appropriate footwear in mind.
