I am getting married in Nov 09 in Manuel Antonio. We are looking for beach locations for the ceremony and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. We will be having approx 40 guests and think that we should be able to arrange this ourselves to save. Are you allowed to do a ceremony at any local beach? Does anyone have any recommendations for chair rentals or alter rentals?
Thanks for any information you have

Hi,
A few great hotels that cater to this are:
Makanda by the Sea - they have a private beach
Arenas del Mar

These are some of the best hotels for getting married in MA area. They have private beaches and cater to you in every way

Congratulations, you will love getting married in CR!

Are you hoping to keep the lodging costs down so it's affordable for the entire group? If so, you might take a look at Costa Verde and inquire as to beach ceremonies. On the beach, you could check with Hotel Espadillas. If you want more lux accommodations you could check with Tulemar Bungalows or Buena Vista Villas. They have a really pretty private beach there and there are some villas on the property as well as individual rooms, but they are not cheap.

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for your responses

We already have our accomodation sorted out (we rented a vacation rental, and will have the reception there). I am only looking for a spot to have the actual ceremony, and need to arrange lawyer etc. I think i can save alot by planning this on my own so any suggestions would be great.

Thanks again
