A Stunning Destination Wedding in Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Ema and Tim have traveled the world together, so when it came time to plan their big day, they knew a destination wedding was the perfect choice. They wanted to share their love of adventure with their closest family and friends in a place that held special meaning—Tamarindo, Costa Rica.

A Dreamy Wedding Getaway

To bring their vision to life, the couple started by hiring a Sacramento wedding planner to help coordinate every detail. Their celebration was more than just a wedding—it was an unforgettable week filled with surfing, swimming, and cocktails by the pool. Guests kicked off the festivities with a rehearsal party at the couple’s private villa, where they even spotted monkeys in the trees.

A Beachfront Ceremony with Tropical Elegance

Ema and Tim exchanged vows on the stunning beach at Pangas, beneath the shade of a breathtaking tree. The bride’s floral design featured lush tropical leaves and vibrant flowers, perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the venue. As the ceremony ended, guests sipped on refreshing tropical cocktails while watching the sun set over the ocean.

A Night to Remember

Dinner was served buffet-style, featuring delicious Costa Rican cuisine that delighted every guest. As the night unfolded, the beach transformed into a lively dance floor where friends and family celebrated under the stars.
