Say “I Do” in COSTA RICA
“Heartfelt, seamless ceremonies, crafted in the beauty of Costa Rica. Personalised, professional, and designed to make your day effortless and unforgettable.”
Your Ceremony, Your Story, Your Costa Rica
Celebrate your love in beautiful Costa Rica.
I’m David J. MacNeil, an ordained wedding officiant based in Playas del Coco. I work with couples to create ceremonies that feel genuine, personal, and true to who you are.
With over twenty years of experience as a performer and event host, I know how to make every moment flow smoothly. I’ll help you and your guests feel relaxed and fully present so your ceremony feels natural, heartfelt, and memorable.
I’m fluent in English and French and speak conversational Spanish, which means I can officiate weddings that bring different languages and cultures together. Every love story deserves to be celebrated.
I am an ordained minister, registered with American Marriage Ministries and the Universal Life Church. Because the legal requirements for marriage officiants can vary depending on where you live and where your ceremony takes place, I encourage couples to reach out so we can review the specific rules that apply to your situation and ensure everything aligns with local requirements. In many cases, I can officiate either a legally recognized marriage or a symbolic ceremony, depending on your needs and preferences.
You can view our price sheet on this page for ceremony details or contact me to start planning your wedding in paradise.
*It is important to point out that I am a legal resident of Costa Rica, and my company, Grupo Maravilla operating as GRUPO MRV LIMITADA, is a fully registered Costa Rican corporation that pays taxes locally. When choosing a wedding officiant or events provider, it is important to work with someone who is legally entitled to operate here and contributes to the local tax base, ensuring compliance, accountability, and peace of mind while supporting the Costa Rican economy.
