If you are dedicated to living a more healthful lifestyle, choosing a wedding, honeymoon, or romantic getaway location may have its challenges. You want to enjoy a beautiful celebration to mark this special moment in your lives, but, you don’t want to stray from your healthy lifestyle of a clean diet and regular exercise. How do you choose a place that’s both memorable and not bad for your health?
#1: Before choosing a destination for your wedding or romantic retreats in Costa Rica, find a place respectful of your health needs.
Not all locations are created equal when it comes to accommodating your health needs. If part of your hesitation of choosing a destination wedding involves sticking to your values or dietary requirements, there’s a way to have it all when you choose the right location. You don’t have to memorize bizarre tips for minding your eating habits like wearing a belt to feel yourself getting full. If you’re getting married, you have enough to think about without tricking yourself into “behaving.”
Find a destination location for your wedding in Costa Rica where they will do all the work for you.
You want to look for a location with the creativity and sensitivity to accommodate your needs. It may sound impossible to have a decadent, gourmet style serving of food at your wedding or elopement without destroying your healthful habits.
Food is a critical element to offering your gratitude to your guests and for replenishing yourself at the start of your new life. You and your guests can feel nourished and exhilarated to enjoy exotic, fresh meals which are “out of the ordinary” at your destination wedding in Costa Rica.
The Waterfall Villas will offer a delectable vegan gourmet spread for your wedding in Costa Rica. You and your guests will enjoy the benefits of vegan detox meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during your stay without even noticing. The range of local produce has inspired the chefs at the Waterfall Villas to create a delicious and beautiful feast for the eyes that will not take a toll on your waistline.
You can celebrate your romantic union without losing your focus on your health and well-being while giving your guests (and yourselves) an experience to remember.
#2: When searching for Costa Rica locations for weddings, notice how much attention they pay to your privacy.
If a destination wedding fits your personality, one of your goals is likely make getting married uniquely memorable. Rather than choosing the ever-repeating variations of white walls and hotel carpeting, a destination wedding site offers a completely new, exotic setting to mark the occasion.
When you choose a destination location in Costa Rica to have your wedding, you’re competing with other groups vacationing or on retreats. Depending on the time of year and what your location has to offer, you may find your wedding photos overrun with strangers watching your ceremony or unintentionally photo-bombing your unrepeatable, special moments.
Choose a destination wedding location in Costa Rica which has a system in place for respecting the intimacy of your special occasion.
It’s easy to forget part of taking care of your good habits and wellness is avoiding excessive stress during what is meant to be one of the best days of your life. You might want to elope and steal away with your partner and feel completely alone in paradise when you exchange your vows; or, maybe you have a small guest list of only your nearest and dearest in attendance. You want to find a location which creates a beautiful setting apart from the tourists to set your mind at ease.
Making a vow to your partner surrounded by nature should be a private affair, but, not all destination locations can offer the setting without the gawking tourists. At the Waterfall Villas, there are breathtaking rainforest waterfalls which are closed to the public. Only guests have access to these areas which will be further secured to only you and your wedding party for your ceremony and reception.
#3: If you can’t maintain your typical exercise regimen, choose from romantic retreats in Costa Rica which include physical activities to replace your routine.
While it may seem like too much to ask of yourself to make sure there’s a place to run or perform your typical daily exercise routine, you can still pick a location in Costa Rica which affords you equally challenging activities.
A guided nature walk in the Baru Nature Reserve (an area recovered from cacao and teak farming, now teaming with forest, lined with beaches, lined with clean, natural streams and home to creatures such as sloths, capuchin monkeys, sea turtles, sea otters, coatis, etc.) will keep you moving and maintain the element of enchantment during your stay for your wedding. At the Waterfall Villas, you have the option of hiking and touring various natural parks, enjoying a canopy zipline tour, and taking a horseback ride to Nauyaca falls.
You can also attend yoga classes at the Waterfall Villas to maintain your body and mind wellness during this exciting phase of your new life. After all this hard work and movement, there are spa treatments available to include indulgences like couples’ massage.
#4: Pick a destination wedding location in Costa Rica with all-inclusive rates and services.
The more services a destination wedding location in Costa Rica includes, the less you have to worry about preparing on your own. You are already choosing to travel away from home to be married in a beautiful, natural setting and the fewer tasks you have to take on prior to the big day the better for your state of mind.
Even for small, intimate weddings of only your closest friends and family, there are a number of elements you would ordinarily need to hire multiple other vendors to cover from flowers, food, officiate or minister, ceremony seating and décor, music, a reception hall, hair and makeup services, etc. It can prove challenging to attempt to locate and hire quality vendors to provide all of these services.
The Waterfall Villas serves every aspect of the ceremony and reception with all-inclusive packages. After the initial consultations to verify everything you want to have for your wedding, you don’t have to lift a finger to make sure all the details fall into place. The Waterfall Villas provides a full staff dedicated entirely to preparing and managing all the details of your wedding.
You will have your very own wedding planner and site coordinator monitoring the events of your day. There are officiates for both Christian and non-denominational/customized ceremonies to make certain your vows are meaningful and reflective of your unique relationship. The location will be selected ahead of time and the flowers and seating will be arranged for you. Hair and makeup services are available so you don’t have to worry about bringing everything you need for your romantic look or learning how to engineer your own up-do. A reception site will be equally private and there are various options for live music.
