There’s something about a celebrity wedding that gets our hearts in a spin. Between the grandeur and beauty, the exclusivity, or the way these iconic locations seem made for the moment just make us take a collective sigh of delight. From European castles to tropical hideaways and celebrity beach weddings, stars have a knack for finding the best wedding venues with privacy, style, and unforgettable backdrops.
Some of the most meaningful ceremonies happen in places where luxury feels natural, and not overproduced. Where vows are exchanged with toes in the sand, skies painted in sunset colors, and a villa that feels like home, only better. That is where the best wedding destinations in Costa Rica enter the scene.
But before we explore that hidden gem, let’s look at some of the most iconic celebrity wedding venues in recent memory.
FROM ROYAL VOWS TO RIVIERA VIEWS: WHERE CELEBRITIES SAY ‘I DO’
When George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin, the Hotel Aman in Venice made the city’s Grand Canal sparkle even brighter. The guest list included a host of high-profile celebrities from Hollywood and beyond. Cindy Crawford and her husband, Randy, we there, as was Bono, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski to name but a few. The setting was fabulous, blissfully understated yet timeless, which perfectly reflected the couple’s inherent style.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel made headlines with their rustic-chic wedding at Borgo Egnazia, in the southern Italian region of Puglia. The whitewashed village-style resort among olive groves created an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity. It was pure elegance without feeling staged.
And who could forget Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas exchanging vows at the opulent Umaid Bhawan Palace in India? Their celebration blended heritage and Hollywood flair in the most iconic of ways, and featured both Indian and Western ceremonies, each as lavish as the palace itself.
Even singer Jason Mraz went in a different direction, marrying in a simple chapel in his hometown. It was a reminder that true luxury sometimes means intimacy, love, and family rather than extravagance.
WHY COSTA RICA IS BECOMING THE NEW CELEBRITY FAVORITE
Costa Rica has long been known for its surf, wildlife, and natural beauty, but it is increasingly favored by celebrities who crave privacy and authenticity. Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady once owned a home in the Nicoya Peninsula, while Zac Efron has been spotted hiking rainforest trails and surfing along the Pacific coast.
For couples, Costa Rica offers all the goodies: direct flights from major US cities, world-class villas, and scenery that rivals anywhere in the world. A Costa Rica luxury wedding can be as grand or as intimate as you want it to be.
This is especially true in Guanacaste, where rolling hills meet golden beaches, and where private estates create the perfect stage for weddings that feel exclusive without the excess.
A CELEBRITY-WORTHY VENUE WITHOUT THE PAPARAZZI
Welcome to The Point Luxury Villa, set just outside Tamarindo where two stunning beaches meet. It is the kind of property you could imagine an A-list couple booking for their vows, yet it’s available for anyone who wants to celebrate love in style.
The Point offers sweeping ocean views, an infinity pool that melts into the horizon, and lush gardens designed with romance in mind. It strikes the rare balance between intimacy and glamour. Best of all, it is completely private: no onlookers, no hotel crowds. Just your people and your moment.
Nicole, The Point’s VIP Concierge and wedding specialist, has supported couples through everything from elopements to week-long celebrations. “We take time to really understand what couples want,” she says. “Some bring their own planners, others lean on us as wedding planner specialists, for every single detail. Either way, our role is to make it beautiful, easy, and unforgettable.”
WHAT MAKES THE POINT IDEAL FOR A DESTINATION WEDDING
Privacy is the first draw of our villa. We can accommodate up to 17 guests in luxury suites, making it ideal for small weddings with just your inner circle. A “buddymoon” destination like no other, The Point is the ideal place to retreat to when you want to celebrate your most momentous occasion with those you love most.
Then there’s the dreamy setting. The sun sets right in front of the villa over the Pacific Ocean, and casts aglow across the water at just the right time for vows and photos. The lawn and pool area offer multiple options for hosting the ceremony, each more stunning than the next.
Add to that a private chef, daily housekeeping, private transport, a catamaran, a helicopter, and a dedicated Concierge team to help you plan every detail, from flowers to fire dancers. You’re looking at a true five-star experience, without the formality of a hotel.
MAKE IT MORE THAN A DAY—MAKE IT A WEEK!
At The Point, weddings naturally become week-long celebrations. Couples and guests arrive early to enjoy yoga on the terrace, spa treatments, and private surf lessons. Rehearsal dinners might take place on a hidden beach, and the morning after the wedding could begin with a cacao ceremony to reflect on the new journey.
This extended stay creates memories beyond the ceremony itself. A waterfall hike with your bridal party, a sunset catamaran cruise, or even a casual Costa Rican BBQ by the firepit can all be part of the story.
THE POINT DIFFERENCE
What sets The Point apart from other Costa Rica wedding venues is its combination of privacy, flexibility, and connection. You are not just renting a villa, you are gaining a team that knows how to make this moment count. How to make your moment unique.
The Concierge team works closely with trusted local vendors and can help source everything from photographers to live music, florals, and officiants. Every couple is different, and that’s exactly how your wedding should feel.
“We take time to understand what each couple wants,” Nicole says. “Some bring a planner, others let us take care of everything. But either way, we’re here to make the experience smooth, beautiful, and meaningful.”
LET YOUR WEDDING BE ITS OWN KIND OF FAMOUS
Celebrity weddings may inspire us, but the most iconic weddings are those that reflect your own love story. Whether you want a showstopping celebration or something soulful and intimate, The Point Luxury Villa offers a setting where your wedding can be as unforgettable as any Hollywood moment.
And right now, The Point is offering an exclusive wedding promotion: couples who reserve seven nights receive 50% off the event fee. It is a rare chance to create your dream Costa Rica wedding at a private beachfront villa, with a team dedicated to making it perfect.
