Desiree and Joachim

Desirée and Joachim had a specific vision for how they wanted their wedding day in Costa Rica to be. Ana from Prestige Weddings planned this perfect day! And, dare I say, the day turned out to be a dream come true!

A Favorite Destination

Both Desirée and Joachim love Costa Rica and they’ve been to visit several times. Thus, it seemed only natural that they should get married in this beautiful place. 

They rented a villa in Dominical, a small beach town to the south of Quepos. It’s a great place to get off the beaten path and surround yourself with the natural beauty of Costa Rica’s rainforests. Though it’s a small town, there are quite a few amenities like nice restaurants, nature activities, and the like. 

The villa, Casa Ambiente, provided just what they needed to make their special day perfect. It is tucked into the jungle yet offered a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. 

Surrounded by their closest friends and Desirée’s daughter, they expressed their love to one another in a way that was uniquely them!

Having a private villa wedding in Costa Rica is a fantastic option. Though there are many beautiful venues, private villas offer a level of luxury and privacy that you can’t get at a big hotel. 

That is just what some couples are looking for!
