Monumental CR is a Tamarindo wedding planner for groups of 15 and up. We work on Costa Rica's Gold Coast in Guanacaste. Tamarindo fits lively groups who want energy and connection.
The town has surf, sunsets, dining, and nightlife. Guests can walk to restaurants after the ceremony. Groups who want a social week often choose Tamarindo over quieter bays.
Most guests fly into Liberia International Airport (LIR). Direct flights from many US and Canadian hubs land at LIR. Drive time from LIR to Tamarindo is about one hour to 75 minutes. We arrange private drivers from the airport to your villa or hotel.
What we handle in Tamarindo
We coordinate villas, beachfront hotels, and vacation homes matched to your group size. We coordinate the ceremony setting and the reception plan. We coordinate transportation between lodging, the venue, and group dinners. We coordinate catering, private chefs, excursions, and guest logistics.
We interview you first. We learn guest count, budget, and style. Then we match you to the right Tamarindo setting. If Tamarindo is not the right fit, we say so. Flamingo and Playa Conchal offer a more refined shore. See Flamingo and Conchal destination weddings.
Group size and guest flow
We specialize in groups of 15 and up. Partner settings across the Gold Coast seat groups from 15 to 120 guests. Tamarindo works well when your guests want a walkable town and a full week of shared meals and water time.
We planned our own Costa Rica wedding with more than 50 guests. We know how guest arrival, lodging, and the event day fit together. We run that same discipline for Tamarindo weddings.
How we plan
Twelve months out, share dates and a guest count. We confirm the setting. Six months out, we lock lodging and vendors. Thirty days out, we confirm arrivals and the schedule. Event week, we run the plan on the ground.
Our team is bilingual. Local experts on our team have more than 20 years of Gold Coast experience. We are the bridge between US and Canadian couples and the right people in Tamarindo.

We cover legal steps, payment in US dollars, and date changes on the first call. We reply to every inquiry within one business day. Start planning when you have a season, a guest count, and a sense of the week you want in Tamarindo.
Tamarindo is not a quiet hideaway. Choose it when your group wants energy. We will still protect the ceremony and the dinner so the day feels considered, not chaotic.
Guest arrival and the week
Guests land at LIR. A private driver takes them to Tamarindo. We plan the ceremony, the dinner, and the days around them. We coordinate villas or hotels, transport, catering, private chefs, excursions, and guest logistics. You work with one team.
On the first call we cover the civil ceremony and home-country registration. We cover payment in US dollars, contracts, and the deposit schedule. We cover what happens if you need to move the date. You leave the call with a next step.
We reply to every inquiry within one business day. Start planning when you have a month and a guest count of 15 or more. If you are still comparing settings, request the venue guide first. Both paths stay on monumentalcr.com.
Tamarindo rewards groups who want a social Gold Coast week. We protect the vows and the dinner. We let the town supply the energy after that.
