- Tiffany + Sami

Thank you to the team at Mil Besos for creating the best wedding experience me and my husband could’ve ever imagined. From beginning to end, the wedding process was so smooth and they were there for me every step of the way. I cannot thank them enough. I never wanted to be the bride that was stressed about the wedding, or think back and have negative emotions surrounding the planning phase, and with them it was possible. This team is incredibly detail oriented and professional, and made the experience and vision complete. My guests were amazed at how smooth everything went, and how beautiful it was. I cannot recommend Mil Besos enough!

Meghan and her team at Mil Besos are AMAZING! If you are thinking of having your destination wedding in Costa Rica and are considering a wedding planner, look no further than Mil Besos. Everyone we worked with was so friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, including all the local vendors (whom we also all loved!). Also, the extra help they provided with travel logistics and activities for my family and guests was the ultimate stress-reliever. My husband and I were so happy with how our small, intimate wedding turned out, we couldn’t have asked for more. 100% recommend! Thank you, Mil Besos! <3

"Choosing Mil Besos for our wedding planning was the absolute BEST decision we could have made. We are immensely and eternally grateful to the entire Mil Besos team for their dedication and hard work. "

- Parissa Tavakoli – Parissa + Mick

Choosing Mil Besos for our wedding planning was the absolute BEST decision we could have made. Despite our busy schedules and living/planning the wedding from NYC, the Mil Besos team managed every detail of our wedding weekend flawlessly from the very moment we met with Meghan and the team – ultimately allowing us to enjoy the process and celebrate with zero stress!

From the outset, their flexibility in accommodating our unique and SUPER specific needs set the tone for a personalized service that continued throughout our time planning with them. Their responsiveness to our questions and concerns was remarkable, making a typically daunting process seamless, memorable, and enjoyable. The team’s organizational skills and deep knowledge of the wedding industry, their extremely valuable relationships with local Costa Rican vendors (from venues, to design, to music, and everything in between) shone through, securing our DREAM venue in Las Catalinas and managing vendor relations with extreme professionalism and grace.

Each member of the team brought a unique touch to our wedding weekend. Their creative vision was evident in the stunning decor that perfectly captured our style, and their meticulous planning and organizational skills ensured that no detail was overlooked—from the schedule to guest management. They even sourced items that we didn’t think existed in the area because they were so invested in ensuring our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. You really don’t find a team that is willing to go so above and beyond, almost as if they were planning for their own weddings – we are still in awe.

Most importantly, the Mil Besos team went above and beyond to ensure that all our guests were well taken care of, which was a HUGE relief for us. Their exceptional coordination and problem-solving skills allowed our wedding to run smoothly, making it a memorable experience for everyone involved. Our guests were raving about them from the moment we sent out our Save the Dates because they coordinated every detail to ensure our wedding was also an enjoyable vacation for them before/after our events.

We are immensely and eternally grateful to the entire Mil Besos team for their dedication and hard work. We HIGHLY recommend them to any couple looking for a stress-free and beautifully orchestrated wedding that will exceed any and all expectations! Thank you, Mil Besos, for making our special day beyond perfect! We will dream about this weekend forever thanks to you

My experience with the Mil Besos team was seamless. They were so easy to work with. I really just coasted through the entire process without having to worry about making any calls myself or looking for vendors. You would think that getting married in a different country would be difficult and a headache but NOT AT ALL with Mil Besos. I would do it all over again! One of the best days of my life. Special kudos to Connie. She was there from start to finish on the day of my wedding. She made sure everyone and everything was done on time. She even took the time to steam my dress. I’ll never forget this experience. Thank you Mil Besos Team. Pura Vida!

"If you're thinking about getting married in Costa Rica, immediately hire Mil Besos. We got married at Hacienda Pinilla in December 2023, and hiring Meghan and her team was the best decision we made."

- Zoe + Mark

If you’re thinking about getting married in Costa Rica, immediately hire Mil Besos. We got married at Hacienda Pinilla in December 2023, and hiring Meghan and her team was the best decision we made.

Not only did they recommend incredible vendors (our DJ, photographer, and food were beyond exceptional) but they took care of communicating with our guests about transportation, setting up a catamaran cruise for the entire group of 50 the day before, and coordinated everything with us using project management tools. They were incredible designers who have an eye for beauty, but they’re also amazing planners and coordinators to reduce stress.

The pictures speak for themselves!

"If you are thinking about it… DO IT! BOOK YOUR DESTINATION WEDDING NOW. WORTH ALL THE PRECIOUS MEMORIES. They genuinely cared about us, they listened to us, and they gave us the best memories of our life. Thank you, Josh & Sara."

- Sara Perez

Mil Besos,

If you are thinking about it… DO IT! BOOK YOUR DESTINATION WEDDING NOW. WORTH ALL THE PRECIOUS MEMORIES.
We had our wedding in Tamarindo, CR at Sueno Del Mar in April 2023. Ceremony was at Sueno Del Mar around 5pm and then our reception was next door at the Airbnb. We had 53 guest to attend. Our budget was 25k and I think we were under 32k.

Naturally planning a wedding is a bit overwhelming and time consuming. A hundred decisions need to be made and you have to dedicated a lot of time to this.
But omg, once we arrived to CR our trip was relaxing and so much fun. If you want your guest to have an experience to remember for the rest of their lives, have a destination wedding. The best part is Mil Besos assist your guest with reservations, questions, and activities. This took a lot of stress off a bride while planning.
Mil Besos has a laundry list of vendors they recommended and most of those vendors you can stalk through instagram. Trust Meghan and her crew! The girls that helped our guest- true MVPs!

Cata (with Mil Besos) is the wedding design goodness. She was sweet and attentive. 10 out of 10 for service, professionalism, and being a genuine human.

Our flowers were locally grown and the rentals were handcrafted by Flores de campos. They even made us a surf board stand for the bar idea. I can’t not believe how many beautiful tropical flowers we got for the price. I brag about my flowers all the time.

We are stoked to have spent the extra money to have a live band at our wedding. The musical guru Max and his crew jammed all night long and crushed their performance. They had great hits which kept people on the dance floor. My favorite moment was my brother singing every lyric of ‘ganster in paradise’ during the encore. SERIOUSLY BOOK THEM!!

Sylvia Guardia is the most talented and kind photographer. Every single photo was priceless. She makes you feel comfortable right away and guides you effortlessly through the whole evening. BOOK HER TOO!

I can’t remember the company who we rented the tent from, but they did a fantastic job setting up and breaking down. Very professional.

Sueno Del Mar… where to even start with this gem of a place. The villa is out of this world. Sol, Eduardo, and the crew- thank you for keeping us hydrated, filling our tummy’s up with delicious food, and being there every step of the way.
All the staff for the entire week, the day of the wedding, and the rest of our trip were incredible.
BOOK HERE EVERY YEAR!

Then the icing on the cake… Victoria Victoria Victoria. You are so special. Thank you for making the 45 min drive to Tamarindo. Sitting down with us for a cake tasting which was a core memory. The cake was to die for. I still day dream about how good that cake was. To the staff that left it in our room… <3

I could go on and on about the love I have for this company. They genuinely cared about us, they listened to us, and they gave us the best memories of our life. Thank you, Josh & Sara.
