With beautiful beaches, lush rainforest surroundings, warm weather year-round and a plethora of affordable accommodation options, it's no wonder Costa Rica has become a popular destination wedding spot for Canadians. Twenty years ago the country's venue options were rather limited, but these days Costa Rica boasts a host of new resorts that actually specialize in over-the-top celebrations - these are the types of places whose on-site wedding planners won't bat an eyelash when you stress the importance of having peonies in your centrepieces and gluten-free meal options for your guests.

Check out the newest full-service resort venues perfect for your destination wedding in Costa Rica.
