Before planning your destination celebration, consider the heat of the day. Manuel Antonio has extremely hot mid-day sun from December to March (the high season). In other locations back in North America, the sun stays out until late, which means the sun sets when you're eating dinner. Fortunately, the sunset time in Manuel Antonio is reasonably consistent thanks to its proximity to the equator. Here is a handy Sunset Calculator which will help you plan your ceremony time. A special note that the best light for photographs is just before the sun sets. If you plan a ceremony an hour or so before sunset, you'll have lots of time for beautiful portraits. Any photographer can give you three times as much variety in this kind of light. Harsh sunlight is simply not flattering on anyone. :)

Another thing to consider for your wedding in Manuel Antonio is the tide. You'll have more beach front for your wedding at low tide. It's a great idea to figure out the tide on your special day.

Your guests will likely fly in from all over North America. The best way to reach Manuel Antonio is through San Jose (SJO) and then take a quick SANSA 15 minute trip to Quepos for about $50 each way!

There are plenty of activities in this region for your guests to enjoy so encourage people to stay for extra days beyond the wedding.
