The couple arrived at Origins Luxury Lodge a few days before their wedding, eager to explore the natural wonders surrounding the property. Their adventure began with a hike to Catarata Oro, a hidden gem located within the lodge’s grounds. This waterfall is a place where time seems to stand still, allowing the couple to soak in the serene beauty of the lush forest. After their hike, they spent the rest of the day relaxing, allowing the tranquil atmosphere of the lodge to set the tone for the days ahead.and monkeys chattering in the background. It’s a perfect spot for those who want a combination of natural beauty and adventure.

Farm-to-Heart Experience

The day before their wedding, the couple participated in one of the lodge’s most cherished experiences: the farm tour. They learned the traditional ways of making cheese and fresh cane juice. With the help of our naturalist guides, they even had the chance to milk a cow and squeeze sugarcane, a moment that allowed them to connect with the land and its history. Savoring the sweet juice afterward was a small yet delightful reminder of Costa Rica’s natural abundance. This day gave them a sense of grounding before their wedding, creating beautiful memories beyond just the ceremony.

The Day of the Wedding: A Special Beginning

The morning of the wedding, the couple enjoyed the luxury of a relaxing spa session, designed to melt away any lingering nerves. The bride’s make-up artist arrived shortly afterward to begin the transformation. The bride had the perfect setting for her preparations in the elegant Three Bedroom Vértigo Lodge. With a glass of red wine in hand, she soaked in the anticipation of her special day. As she got ready, the atmosphere was filled with a sense of calm, yet excitement hung in the air — a moment of pure bliss before the magic unfolded.

Saying “I Do” in Paradise

The groom was escorted to Koora Yoga, the chosen venue for the ceremony. Adorned with handcrafted floral arrangements, the space was intimate and personal, a reflection of the couple’s taste. As he waited, a mix of excitement and nerves was palpable, but the officiant was there to keep things light and even offered him a glass of freshly made cane juice, a thoughtful gesture that reflected the warmth of the occasion.

Then came the moment the groom had been waiting for. The bride arrived in a golf cart, making her way down to the ceremony. As she stepped out, her presence left the officiant and the two witnesses in awe. Her dress, her hair, her makeup — every detail was impeccable.

The ceremony was simple yet deeply meaningful, an intimate elopement experience with just the two of them and their witnesses, standing side by side, focused only on each other. They exchanged vows, completely immersed in the beauty of the moment, with no distractions or worries. Just them, in nature, saying “yes” to forever.

It was a beautifully designed masterpiece, just like their special day.
