Marriage Proposal Setups in Costa Rica

You bring the ring and the words. We prepare the place. Costa Celebrations designs and sets up proposal decoration at the villa or vacation rental where you are staying in Costa Rica.

What a proposal setup is

A proposal setup is the decorated space where you ask the question. We design the proposal decoration and style it on site, so the setting is ready when the moment comes. Depending on the design, your setup may include balloons, floral elements, petals or decorative lighting, in the colors and mood you choose, from soft and romantic to bright and bold.

No two are the same, because each one is designed for the couple and for the space. Tell us about your partner: favorite colors, whether they would love something grand or something quiet, anything that would make them smile. If you have a specific idea, describe it or send a reference picture so we can take it into account when preparing your quote.

Proposal decoration at your villa or vacation rental

We prepare the setup at the villa or vacation rental where you are staying. Depending on the space and the design, the setup can use a terrace, a garden, the pool area, the living area or another suitable spot on the property. A villa or vacation rental can also give you more flexibility to choose a setting that feels personal to the two of you.

A proposal setup may also be possible at hotels, depending on the property and the arrangements for the setup.

When you write, tell us about the space you have in mind. A picture of it, even one from the rental listing, helps us prepare your quote.

How we keep it a surprise

A surprise depends on timing, so we plan it with you in advance.

  • We agree on the setup timing with you, based on your plans, the location and our availability.
  • We coordinate the setup details directly with you so the surprise stays discreet.

Planning timeline

Write to us as soon as you have your travel dates and your accommodation booked. More notice gives us more room to plan.

  1. Tell us about it. Your date, where you are staying and what you picture.
  2. We send a quote. Based on what you share, we reply with any questions and a quote. Once you book, we finalize the design details with you.
  3. We set it up. We bring the decoration and style it on site at the time we agreed.
  4. You ask the question. If the setup needs to be taken down afterward, we arrange that with you when we plan it.

A style idea

Hearts and warm lights

One idea for a proposal space: balloon columns crowned with hearts, framed by warm decorative lighting. Every proposal setup is designed around your partner and the place you are staying, so yours will have its own look.

Questions before you book

How far ahead should I contact you?

As early as you can once your dates and accommodation are set. Early contact leaves time to plan the setup and to adjust if your schedule changes.

What information do you need for a proposal setup quote?

Your date, the area and the villa, vacation rental or other accommodation where you are staying, the space you have in mind, and the colors or style your partner likes. A reference picture also helps, if you have one.

Can you set up a proposal at our villa or vacation rental?

Yes. Tell us the name of the property and the space you have in mind. What we can prepare depends on the space, the design and availability.

Can you set up a proposal at a hotel?

Setting up a proposal may be possible at hotels depending on the property and the arrangements for the setup. Tell us the hotel and date when requesting your quote.

What if it rains?

If your idea is for an outdoor space, tell us whether the property also has a covered or indoor area. We can take that into account when preparing your setup and quote.

Do you take the setup down afterward?

Removal can be arranged when the setup requires it. Tell us what you need and we include it in the plan.

How much does proposal decoration cost?

Every setup is quoted individually based on the location, type of setup, amount of decoration and level of customization. Send us the details and we will prepare a quote for your proposal.
