Q + A

Where should we stay?

There are several hotel options in the immediate vicinity of the wedding venue. These include "Grandpas," "Las Brumas," and "El Guarco." These hotels offer a variety of rooming options to fit your needs. They also offer different ambiance. If you will be traveling with a group, AirBnB is a great option as well. If you need help making your housing arrangements, please do not hesitate to contact us!

How do I get to the venue?

We recommend that our guests arrive at the venue via car. As there is ample parking space, one option is to rent a car. If you would like to rent a car, an SUV is preferable, as some of the roads, especially during the rainy season, can be somewhat difficult to navigate for the inexperienced driver. We recommend Payless for rental car purposes. Another option is to use Uber, if you write down Colina San Miguel the option will be displayed as located in Cartago Province. We do not recommend using official taxis (red cars) at any time or for any reason.

Where are the ceremony and reception taking place?

All day's events will occur at Colina San Miguel in Cartago Province. This venue is located on the mountainside of Ochomogo and overlooks the cities of San Jose, Cartago, and Paraiso. The wedding ceremony will take place outside on a deck overlooking the valley. All other events will move inside the catering hall.

What is the timeline for the day?

Arrival... 2:30 pm, Ceremony... 3:00 pm, Reception... 4:30 pm, Departure... 10:00 pm

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Spring Vintage Theme with formal dress etiquette. Please avoid sandy colors, such as gray, beige, and ivory, as well as shiny or gala-type dresses. Be prepared to bring a coat and an umbrella if necessary.

How do I RSVP?

Please RSVP using the appropriate page on this website.

Do you have a gift registry?

The number one gift we request is the honor of your presence on our special day! We love and appreciate you and know that Costa Rica is a long trip for some. If you would like to bless us with a gift, we kindly ask for a cash contribution that we can use towards visas, flights, and other travel expenses. We plan to live in fully furnished apartments until we move to the United States, and we will be saving to make that happen as soon as possible. You can do that by using the Gift Registry page of the website or on the day of the wedding by including your gift with any card and leaving it in the designated area.

Can I bring a plus one?

As we have worked with the venue to determine the number of guests that will be accommodated, we respectfully ask you to please refrain from bringing any guest that was not explicitly included when you received your invitation.

Are kids welcome?

We respectfully ask you to please refrain from bringing any guest that was not explicitly included when you received your invitation. As a general rule of thumb, children under a certain age have not been invited to this event due to restrictions with the venue. However, some children asked to participate in the ceremony have been included. We appreciate your understanding.

Do you have a wedding hashtag?
