Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

Welcome to Costa Rica! It’s officially the start of the seven-month rainy season, early May really isn’t that rainy. Most days are sunny with occasional afternoon showers. May marks the end of the dry season in Costa Rica. But Costa Rica’s rainy season starts soft and gradually builds over time. As a result, early May is often indistinguishable from the dry season. Only by the end of May do the afternoon rains become more consistent.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Please see our Schedule for the dress code for each event.

Question

What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?

There are a bunch of grassy areas that you might have to walk in so wear chunky heels or sandals. Can't have any of you ruining nice shoes.

Question

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Answer

Yes! We would love for you to take pictures before the ceremony and during the reception. In order for you to be most present with us during the ceremony, however, we request that you silence or turn off your phone until we finish exchanging vows and rings. Please also be mindful of the professional photographers so that they can do their thing.

Are masks required?

Answer

Newly elected President, Rodrigo Chaves, eliminated the mandatory use of masks for the population, as well as the obligation to be vaccinated against covid-19.
