We started off the season with a small but wonderful wedding. Molly & Derek reached out to me when they had already decided on their venue. They fell in love with the beautiful Casa Brewer at Las Catalinas, and well, who wouldn’t? We had planned a dinner party there earlier in the year (and it was also the location of my bachelorette weekend), and was thrilled to finally get to do a wedding there.
Molly and Derek wanted their guests to have a great Costa Rica experiences, so we helped them plan a casual cookout on the night of their arrival as well as their rehearsal dinner, which took place at the place wit what is possibly the coolest vibe and the most amazing views in the area, Casa Chameleon at Las Catalinas
Inspired by the colonial/mediterranean architecture of Las Catalinas and Casa Brewer (sorry, can’t really decide which describes it best), and the bride’s preference for clean and light decor, we opted for neutrals and whites all through the design, incorporating the surrounding greenery into it as much as possible. Tables were set up in the courtyard at Casa Brewer (for photos only, as unfortunately, we had a bit of rain that made us move into our covered space (a must in the Costa Rica rainy season, as rain can come out of the blue at any time) for the actual dinner. The rains did end, so dancing under the stars was in order.
The ceremony site was located on a terrace overlooking the ocean, and surrounded by trees, the sea and 30 of their nearest and dearest, Molly & Derek said I DO in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
