The Mariana Wedding Chapel at Villa BlancaCloud Forest Hotel & Nature Reserve

The Mariana Wedding Chapel was the 50th anniversary-wedding gift from former President Rodrigo Carazo to First Lady Estrella Carazo. Its unique hand painted ceramic ceiling depicts the history of the Virgin Mary when first introduced into Latin America by Christian missionaries. The chapel is open daily to our hotel guests (8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.), and available for personalized weddings and other special events. It is located on a grassy knoll overlooking the farm village and hacienda of Villa Blanca. The Chapel’s backdrop is the 840 Ha (2000 acre) Los Angeles Cloud Forest, with over 300 listed bird species included within a variety of flora and fauna in this protected habitat and serene mountain setting.

The chapel’s ceiling is covered with 840 ceramic plates, all of them hand drawn and painted with high temperature enamel paints. Each side of the ceiling has 15 panels of 28 plates divided in two vertical rows of 14 plates. Each one of the columns formed by the 14 plates conveys a theme allusive to a Latin-American virgin and her country of origin.

We also have facilities to accommodate small intimate events and/or larger parties of up to 75 guests. Please email our bridal consultant to get started on an unforgettable personalized wedding experience.
