With so many weddings postponed in 2020 due to Covid-19 there has been an uptick in couples looking for alternatives in 2021 & 2022. Many are looking to Elope in Costa Rica! So much so, we have had to decline some elopement trips. We only do a maximum of 4 elopement adventures a month and demand has been higher than we can handle some months. Sometimes I can squeeze 5 elopement trips in a single month if the dates are spread out enough.
Eloping is a lot more socially distant as opposed to a traditional wedding. This is a good approach during this crazy time of pandemic.
Costa Rica offers a wonderful option for nature lovers! This year we had weddings near waterfalls in the rain forest, weddings on our beaches, and weddings near volcanoes. Our couples have rafted down rivers, had breakfast with baby sloths, and zipped from tree to tree on zip-lines! The beauty of the trips we create is that they are created for our couples, focused on their interests from start to finish.
Overall travel in Costa Rica is down considerably due to Covid. For the travel side of my company (C.R. Referrals Travel) working on regular trips such as family adventures and groups things have been slow. On the wedding side it has been busy-busy!
Here are just a couple of highlights from 2 of my weddings this year, a waterfall rain forest wedding near Poas Volcano and a beach wedding in beautiful Manuel Antonio! 🙂
As we approach the third quarter of 2021 I look forward to what 2022 will bring. I hope that things can improve globally and that we can all put the sadness this pandemic has brought us to a close.
We are looking at new wedding locations for 2022 that are unique. I will be making some updates on this soon so stay tuned! If you are thinking to Elope in Costa Rica I am here to help! – Catalina Cuervo
