October Updates
It has been 6 years since I launched Elope in Costa Rica (.com) as an extension of my boutique travel company, C.R. Referrals Travel, and what a wonderful time it has been! I have been happy to plan a few hundred elopement adventure honeymoons her in Costa Rica over that time and LOVE the way the trips come together! Being a small part of these trips has been the highlight of my career as a travel & event planner.
2022 is looking to be a very busy year for elopement adventures and full-size weddings! With the disruptions in travel from Covid-19 it is no surprise that more couples are looking for alternatives. I am even planning wedding trips as far ahead as 2023 right now! I normally only take 4 elopement adventure trips on any given month but I have been stretching that to 5 elopement trips if they are spaced apart well enough in the month. Some months I have larger weddings booked so I take fewer elopement adventure trips.
So, what are the most popular months that couples want to get married? Dry season months are always the best for beach weddings, January – April provides nice weather on much of our Pacific Coast. July is still my favorite month of the year for weddings, with our little summer falling during that time it can be perfect weather on the coast or inland. We are working on some new locations for 2022 and beyond and I will be making some announcements about this soon.
Some popular honeymoon areas in the age of Covid 19 are Glamping on islands in the Pacific! This is about as socially distant as you can get! Island Glamping can be combined with bio-luminescent kayaking, it is just magical! Costa Rica offers couples the chance to stay away from crowds while surrounding yourself with nature. Volcanoes remain high on everyone’s travel list and our most requested waterfall/rain-forest weddings are always romantic and magical!
We are doing a lot more private rentals these days as many travelers want to have the extra social distancing. We have a wonderful selection of villas for couples or small wedding groups that want to lodge together. If you want to start planning your Costa Rica Elopement, please use our online wedding trip designer to get started!
