Nosara, Costa Rica

Hi friends!

We can’t wait to celebrate our wedding after-party with you in Nosara, Costa Rica! Here’s the lowdown — we’ve taken over a villa as our home base and we’re turning it into a full-on Celebration of Love - think, a night of sharing our vows followed by dinner & dancing in a festival-like celebration with music that probably doesn’t know when to quit.

The main event is Friday, February 5th, 2027, but we’ll be down there for 5-nights (Feb 3–8) and would love for you to make a vacation out of it too. There will be other smaller, more casual gatherings mixed in throughout the week because we hope to see a lot of you while we’re there!

Here’s what we have planned so far:

Wednesday, Feb 3 — Arrival Day
Thursday, Feb 4 — Welcome Party
Friday, Feb 5 — Celebration of Love: Dinner & Dancing
Sunday, Feb 7 — Farewell Dinner
Monday, Feb 8 — Hasta Luego, Costa Rica!

See the Stay tab if you have questions about accommodation or the venue.

Throughout the week we’re also planning optional group activities — surfing, catamaran tours, horseback rides on the beach, zip-lining, snorkeling, you name it. The Schedule tab has the preliminary breakdown.

We know it’s a big ask to travel, and we know it’s almost a year away. No pressure — just let us know if you’re pretty confident you can make it (or not) by filling out this handy little RSVP by Oct 30th:

Let Us Know You’re Coming!

A note on kiddos: While we love your little ones, we’re keeping this one for the grown-ups. Think of it as your excuse for a kid-free vacation!

Our favorite people, one special place, celebrating the joy of what’s ahead!

With Love,
Angela & Eric

Stay

Venue

Castillo Colonial is a boutique hotel in Nosara that we've rented out for the week. It's where our Celebration of Love will take place on Friday, Feb 5th, and some guests are staying on-site in a few of the extra rooms. That said, everyone is welcome to come and use the space from February 3rd to 8th. The pools, grounds, and common areas are yours the entire time.

Accommodation

There are quite a few different options on where to stay. There are some recommended AirBnBs that our host Coltin can help you book or of course you're welcome to find your own options and hang out at the Castillo Colonial whenever you'd like.

If you'd rather grab a simpler place nearby without a lot of facilities, totally fine. You'll still be hanging at the villa with everyone during the day.

Nearby Airbnbs (5-minute walk to the villa)

To book, reach out to Coltin via WhatsApp at +1.914.920.1964. He knows the area really well and can also help you find other options or give you a gut check on location. The closest hotel to the villa is Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort.
