Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We kindly ask that you come in cocktail attire and refrain from wearing loud colors. Neutral colors, earth tones, light florals, and soft pastels are some examples we love!

Those who come not adhering to the dress code will NOT be admitted.

Question

What should I gift?

Your presence on our special day is what is most important to us! If you would like to get us a gift, please visit the Registry section to contribute to one of our funds. Due to Tom and Sophia being homeowners in a condo, we pretty have everything we need.

Question

What will the weather be like?

Answer

You can expect very warm maximum average daytime temperatures of around 34°C (94°F) and nighttime temperatures around 21°C (70°F). Those night and day temperatures are average and some days may be even warmer.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all outdoors.

Question

What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?

Answer

Because the wedding is outdoors on grass and sand, we highly advise against wearing stilettos to our ladies. We suggest going with chunky heels or heeled sandals instead! For the men, we suggest wearing sneakers or dress shoes.

Question

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

Answer

We have hired a photographer to capture the day! Please refrain from using all electronics devices during the ceremony. After the ceremony, please take as many photos as you’d like to capture this special day!

Question

Do I need to exchange my money?

Answer

No. Costa Rica accepts and uses the American dollar as currency. However, you may be given change in Costa Rican Colons and will want to exchange or use that before coming back to the US.

Question

Should I notify my bank?

Answer

We suggest letting your bank know that you will be traveling abroad for the specified dates so you can use your cards without being flagged.

Question

What time is it in Costa Rica?

Answer

Costa Rica observes Central Standard Time (CST) all year. There are no daylight savings time changes.

Question

Do I need any plug adaptors?

Answer

Outlets are the same as in the US, so no electric adapters/converters are needed.
