Anyone considering a destination wedding in Costa Rica ...you must use Larissa Banting at Weddings Costa Rica. Larissa is incredible. She responds to every need and question in a very timely way. She has a knack of making each inquiry feel important and not a bother. She personalizes your affair and adds unexpected touches to make it so nice. Larissa takes such good care of you even as the wedding is in progress she is there making sure that all is well. Her recommendations were top notch. The chef was excellent.All of our guests were in awe. The food was as good as one would find in a fine N.Y. restaurant. The officient was also a recommendation of Larissa's. She performed the MOST beautiful meaningful ceremony! We just came home from our daughter's and son-in law's wedding. It was so far beyond our wildest dreams....largely thanks to Larissa. It was a masterpiece!!!

Hola Larissa and Pamela!
just wanted to thank you so very much for the beautiful job you did with our wedding. The day went better than we could have imagined it, and none of it would have been possible without all the hard work you put into it. Please forward my thanks to everyone who contributed. I didn't get the chance to meet the harpist or thank her for the beautiful job she did, but please tell her that it was absolutely perfect! We were ecstatic with the way it all turned out. The decor was unbelieveable and captivated the theme of the wedding so well. The food was to die for, and the way you made yourselves available at any moment was so great! We will definitely be reccommending you and Costa Rica to any of our friends or family who plan to get married in the future!Thank you and we hope to see you again in the future!
Lots of love from Canada,

Can't tell you how many people have told me it was the best wedding they have ever attended. We could not have done it without you. (We did not even know about the Parador and everybody loved it there.) Again Thanks for all your hard work in putting it together.

Hi Larissa,

We just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful job you did! Although it was rainy and windy...we loved it. It just brought the intensity up a notch and added to the ceremony.

All our friends just left and were still talking about the wedding and how amazing everything was a week later. Our friends daughter just had a destination wedding and told us she wished she would have had you for her wedding! Marsh's mom said everyone gasped when they saw how beautiful the El Avion was.

Everything was just amazing from all the detail, the phenomenal Gator cake, bulgogi (although no one could pronounce it) Not to mention, you were able to pull off the fireworks and make changes up to the last minute. I believe the consensus was that no one else could get married for at least a couple years or would have to elope because it would be hard to top our wedding! I believe the term "EPIC" was used on several occasions!

Costa Rica alone is amazing but you really made it very memorable.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
