ONDA Weddings
Destination weddings in Costa Rica & Panama
Bring your guests to ONDA for a destination wedding. Choose a beach-town celebration in Costa Rica or a mountain retreat in Panama, and let our team help shape the stay, meals, gathering spaces, and guest flow around your group.
A private home base for the whole celebration
A wedding at ONDA is less about a ballroom and more about a full celebration together. Your guests stay close, the common spaces become yours, and the schedule can move from welcome drinks to ceremony, dinner, dancing, pool time, excursions, and slow mornings without everyone scattering across town.
Choose the beach-town celebration of Playa Grande or the mountain-retreat feeling of Boquete. Both give your guests an ONDA home base for the full experience, with a team that understands how group travel, shared meals, and destination logistics come together.

Recent wedding weekend
Nicole + Jeremy at ONDA Playa Grande
Beach ceremony, ocean time, shared meals, late nights, and one home base for the whole group.
This is the kind of full-property celebration ONDA Playa Grande was built to host: intimate, relaxed, and easy for everyone to stay connected across the whole trip.
Choose the ONDA setting that fits your wedding
Both destinations can be planned as private, multi-day celebrations. The difference is the feeling you want your guests to remember.
Playa Grande, Costa Rica
ONDA Playa Grande
A beach-town wedding setting for surf, sun, pool parties, barefoot guest moments, and warm-weather celebration energy.
- Best for intimate wedding buyouts, beach ceremonies, welcome pool parties, and social destination weddings.
- Guests can mix the wedding schedule with surf lessons, catamaran trips, beach time, and local restaurants.
- On-site bar and restaurant make food and drink planning easier for casual multi-day gatherings.
Boquete, Panama
ONDA Boquete
A mountain wedding setting for larger rooming blocks, cooler weather, coffee country, garden spaces, and a slower retreat-style pace.
- Best for couples who want a destination celebration with more guest capacity and a mountain-adventure setting.
- Restaurant, bar, coworking hub, plenary venue, breakout rooms, yoga deck, and firepit create flexible gathering points.
- Guests can build the trip around coffee tours, hiking, outdoor adventure, shared meals, and unhurried time together.
What ONDA helps you bring together
Start with the setting, then shape the details around your guests. ONDA brings together the property, the local context, and the everyday coordination that helps a destination celebration feel easy once everyone arrives.
A private property
Turn the hotel into a shared space for your people instead of scattering everyone across separate reservations and venues.
Food and drinks
Use the on-site restaurant and bar as the anchor for welcome gatherings, casual meals, reception flow, and recovery mornings.
Celebration flow
Build a schedule that can include arrival drinks, ceremony time, group activities, dinner, music, downtime, and a farewell moment.
Local coordination
Lean on the ONDA team for property details, guest logistics, activities, vendors, and practical planning support.
Love from past ONDA couples
Past couples have used ONDA as the place where the celebration, the stay, and the guest experience all happen together.
Cami & Cheke | Beach ceremony, reception dinner, DJ dance party
“We celebrated our wedding with family and friends at ONDA and it was the best decision!! The ONDA team is the best, always attentive if we needed anything. The Beer Garden and the bar are a very nice space, with delicious food and drinks at a good price.”
“The hotel is steps from the beach, and we had the opportunity to surf with the ONDA Surf team. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the pool perfect and common areas equipped. Allie accompanied us throughout this experience and took care of the details of the wedding, it was beautiful!”
Lillian & Alex | Welcome pool party, beach ceremony
“We bought out ONDA for our close crew of friends for our celebration of love. The ONDA staff were amazing. They helped organize shuttles for some of our guests, a group surf lesson, and pulled off our epic pool party with no problems.”
“Everyone raved about the food and beverage, and even when things were hectic, they pulled everything off without a hitch. I would recommend ONDA to anyone looking to host a non-traditional celebration or wedding or event in an intimate yet very cool and trendy space.”
