Many couples choose to utilize both properties for different aspects of their wedding celebration.

The properties are connected, making it easy to move between them.

When to Plan Your Nayara Wedding

The dry season (December through April) offers the best weather conditions for outdoor ceremonies with clear volcano views. However, the green season (May through November) provides lush, vibrant landscapes and more competitive pricing. As your Costa Rica wedding photographer, I can help you capture beautiful images in any season.
