Say “I Do” Where the Jungle Meets the Pacific
Jaco sits on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast, where green hills roll down to a long golden beach. At Casa Rio Mar, your ceremony takes place on the sand in front of the villas, with the ocean behind you and the sun setting over the water.
Our wedding team handles the details that are hard to arrange from abroad: the arch and décor, tables and tents, dinner and cake, bartenders, sound and lighting, flowers and photography. You choose a package or build your own, and we take it from there.
Because the venue is also a collection of private villas, your family and friends can stay on site for the whole wedding week, with pools, an on-site restaurant and bar, and the beach at the door.

Why Couples Choose Jaco for a Destination Wedding
Close to the airport
Jaco is one of the closest beach towns to San Jose International Airport, so guests can land and be on the beach the same day.
Warm all year
Expect warm days year-round. The dry season (December to April) is the most popular; the green season (May to November) brings lush scenery and afternoon showers.
Plenty for guests to do
Surfing, Tortuga Island boat trips, ziplining, sport fishing and day trips to Manuel Antonio National Park keep everyone busy before and after the big day.
Everything in one place
Ceremony, reception and accommodation share one beachfront property, so there is no shuttling guests between venues.

Stay Together in Seven Beachfront Villas
Casa Rio Mar’s seven villas sit side by side on the quiet south end of Jaco. Rent one for the wedding couple and close family, or book several so the whole party stays together, with private pools, rooftop terraces and the on-site restaurant and bar.
