Destination Wedding in Costa Rica

With the help of Chiquita Tours, Emily and Dennis exchanged
wedding vows in the Beautiful beach town of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Twenty-four of their family and friends were present for the ceremony and a week full of fun, sun and excitement!

After sharing with Dennis and Emily everything there is to do in Costa Rica, they elected several activities for everyone to participate in. They chose white water rafting down the Rio Balsa with class II/III rapids, volcano hiking with hot-springs soaking, and canopy zip-lining thru the cloud forest. Several people even went on a last minute ATV tour. The rehearsal dinner the night before was held on a magnificent sailboat where everyone was able to snorkel, watch for dolphins and enjoy the sunset. The guests and wedding party stayed at Volcano Lodge in La Fortuna the first 3 nights, and at The Parador Boutique Hotel and Spa in Manuel Antonio for the remaining 5 nights.

After consulting with Emily and Dennis on the colors of her flowers, ceremony location, decorations, chair coverings, cake flavor, dinner menu, bar menu, and music selection, Chiquita Tours took it from there to make her day and unforgettable one. The beautiful ceremony was held at the Palapa on the grounds of The Parador Boutique Hotel and Spa. The Palapa is a tiki-style hut which is nestled on a hill, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It was decorated with exotic flowers, rose petals on the ground , and covered chairs. As Emily walked down the forested trail, you could hear the sounds of the waves breaking as the acoustical guitar music was played.

Emily chose to have one long beautifully decorated table for everyone to sit at with a row of mixed exotic flowers trailing down the middle. The chairs were decorated with Lime Green sashes that matched the table runners. Candles lit the night air and the breeze from the ocean was inviting. The delicious dinner buffet that was served included Turkey with Cumberland sauce, Beef Tenderloin and Chicken Blanquette. The photographer , John Williamson, was there to catch everything on film. The D.J. played all their favorite songs as they danced the night away.
