The entire staff here a Sueño del Mar was excited to welcome Kasey and Pat for their Costa Rica destination wedding! After researching for wedding locations, the couple chose our property based on pictures they had seen of our beachfront bed & breakfast.

The decor highlighted the tropical feel and natural colors of Costa Rica using local flowers, serving fresh coconuts, and creating the perfect lounge space for their guests to enjoy the sunset. For dinner, the couple surprised guests with a tropical taco bar complete with several choices of salsas and toppings prepared in house by Eduardo and Sol.

Sueño del Mar:: Perfect place to propose!!!!::

One of the perks of being located on one of the most beautiful spots on Langosta Beach is having a front row seat to many special occasions. Along with weddings here at Sueño del Mar, we also host birthdays, anniversaries, and even wedding proposals. Last high season wedding photographer Jeff Hooper brought his girlfriend, Katie, to breakfast at Sueño del Mar to celebrate their two year anniversary of dating. Katie and Jeff met in Tamarindo while Jeff was on a surf vacation from Colorado. Katie had lived and worked as a photographer in Costa Rica for several years shooting weddings all over the country. One of their first days hanging out Katie suggested Sueño del Mar, and it quickly became the couple’s favorite local spot for brunch. She had no idea that two years later Jeff would take her here for brunch and propose to her on the beach right in front of our property! The two now live part time in Costa Rica shooting weddings together and were married last year. They return to Sueño del Mar regularly, and still consider it one of their favorite places in all of Costa Rica. Here are some engagement photos of the couple in front of our boutique bed & breakfast captured by Julie Comfort of Comfort Studio.

Looking for the perfect place to celebrate your special occasion? Contact us today to reserve your room at our beachfront bed & breakfast for your wedding, birthday, anniversary, or even a wedding proposal!
