THE SHORT ANSWER

Looking for the Mil Besos wedding planner?

Planning from far away is easier with someone local.

A destination wedding has many moving parts: venue, vendors, guest travel, paperwork and the schedule on the day. A planner who works in Costa Rica every week can carry much of that for you.

Mil Besos is one team we point couples to. They describe themselves as Costa Rica wedding planners and designers, offering a guided experience for planning a destination wedding. If you are comparing planners, read their site in their own words and ask them directly what is included for your date. Our notes on Costa Rica weddings explain why couples choose this country.

OTHER DAYS

Proposals, vow renewals, anniversaries, birthdays

They also plan other celebrations. They describe elopements as part of where they began, so ask about a small or elopement-style day if that is your plan.

A guided way to plan.

Mil Besos describes a process where they plan the structure of the day, add your style in the details and handle the logistics so the two of you are present. Couples work with them on communication and collaboration, since each ceremony is different.

Their about page introduces a team of planners and coordinators, and says its lead planner has 10 years of planning weddings in Costa Rica. Their site names venues in places such as Tamarindo and Playa Conchal.

Mil Besos also lists Adri as a photography and film vendor on its own site. You can see that listing on our Mil Besos vendor page.

Questions to ask any planner.

General guidance from us, not a statement about any one team. The same questions are useful with Mil Besos or anyone else.

  1. What is included on the day?

    Ask who is on site, for how many hours, and what they handle. Day-of coordination and full planning are different services.

  2. Do you help with paperwork and permits?

    Some teams explain the legal route and some leave it to you. Ask what is included. Our guides on planning your Costa Rica wedding and planning a destination wedding in Costa Rica summarize what the civil registry publishes.

  3. How do you handle guest travel?

    Ask about transport to the venue, lodging suggestions and how they communicate with guests.

  4. Which languages do you work in?

    Their website does not state this, so ask when you write.

  5. How do you work with your other vendors?

    A planner who shares a schedule early helps the photographer, the florist and the venue work as one team.
