You can exchange vows on the edge of a volcano, at the base of a waterfall or deep inside a rainforest. And if you are a beach person, there is a plethora of white sand beaches to choose from. Tamarindo has emerged as a destination wedding hotspot in its own right with options ranging from the very simple to the quite extravagant. Several of the larger hotels offer full service wedding packages.

This very popularity has also become a formidable boost to the local economy, with hotels, restaurants and tourism companies (just to name a few) reaping the rewards. Local entrepreneurs have also seized the opportunity and created their own businesses to serve the demand that has been created.
