Tropical Sunset Wedding in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
For Caroline and Marco, a destination wedding in Costa Rica was about more than escaping somewhere tropical – it was an opportunity to bring the people they love into a place already deeply connected to their story. With Marco’s family roots in Costa Rica and the couple’s shared love of travel and adventure, Manuel Antonio offered the perfect setting for a wedding that felt equal parts meaningful getaway and joyful family celebration.
Inspired by a “tropical sunset,” their wedding embraced the lush beauty of Costa Rica with rich shades of green, red, and orange woven throughout the day. The celebration began with a traditional ceremony at Parroquia Inmaculada Concepción de María in nearby Quepos before guests made their way to Hotel Costa Verde, surrounded by the tropical landscape Manuel Antonio is known for.
At the heart of the celebration was the joining of two families and cultures – Trinidad-American and Costa Rican – in a destination that invited everyone to experience something new together. The result was a wedding that felt vibrant, warm, and wonderfully personal, balancing the romance of a tropical destination with the significance of celebrating somewhere that already felt like home.
“A tropical celebration where adventure, family, and two cultures came together in one unforgettable corner of Costa Rica.”
