The Planning Process

From Zero to “I Do”

Planning a destination wedding shouldn’t feel overwhelming. We’ve shaped the journey into three clear stages — so you always know where you are, what comes next, and what we’re taking care of for you.

Stage 01

Finding Your Venue

Reach Out Early

We take on a limited number of weddings each year, so every couple gets our full attention. Get in touch by email or phone as early as you can — dates go quickly.

Come and Visit

We explore potential venues together, taste sample menus, talk through your budget and meet possible suppliers. No obligation — just a first real feel of your day.

Book Your Venue

Found the one? Confirm your date with a deposit paid directly to the venue. You’ll then receive our curated supplier list — from musicians to every vendor you might need.

Stage 02

Securing the Dream Team

Plan a Second Visit

Time for the fun part: tastings, hair and make-up trials, and meetings with florists, celebrants and musicians — so you experience everything first-hand before deciding.

We Coordinate Your Team

We bring together a carefully curated team of photographers, videographers, DJs, musicians and beauty professionals — all matched to your style and your vision.

Stage 03

The Final Touches

Finalise the Details

Supplier bookings are confirmed, menus are settled and the decorative concept takes shape. Most suppliers only ask for a small deposit at this stage.

The Countdown

In the months before the big day we stay in close contact, working through checklists together — flowers, schedules, deadlines and payments. Nothing slips through.

Wedding Week

Once you arrive, we meet for a final review. After the last confirmations with suppliers, your only job is to relax and enjoy your family. We take it from here.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why hire a wedding planner when everyone has email?

An experienced planner prevents miscommunication between suppliers and streamlines the whole process, so your day is genuinely stress-free.

Do you offer wedding packages?

No. We prefer that each couple hand-picks their suppliers, which gives a more personal celebration, clearer costs and a flexible budget rather than a fixed package.

How far in advance should planning begin?

Ideally around twelve months ahead to secure the best venues and suppliers.

How do we coordinate while living abroad?

Everything can be organised remotely through video calls and email, with well-timed visits to Spain.

Can I talk to previous couples?

Of course. We're happy to share feedback and put you in touch with past clients for reassurance.

What's the average wedding cost in Spain?

As a guide, around €35,000–€40,000 for 100 guests, though every wedding is different.

How much do your planning services cost?

Our full wedding planning service starts from €4,800.

What are the cancellation and refund policies?

These vary by vendor and venue; we explain all terms clearly before anything is confirmed.

What payment methods do vendors accept?

Bank transfer is standard; some suppliers also accept cash or PayPal.

Can foreigners legally marry in Spain?

Non-residents can marry through the Catholic Church if neither partner has previously married in the Church and at least one is Catholic, baptised and confirmed. Many couples instead complete the legal paperwork at home and celebrate with a symbolic ceremony here.

How far in advance should we complete legal requirements?

For a Catholic ceremony, start around six months ahead, as the paperwork can take time.

Can we have a symbolic ceremony?

Yes. Many couples choose a symbolic ceremony here and complete the legal paperwork in their home country.

Do you organise same-sex weddings?

Yes. We have planned many same-sex weddings, including for our own family.

Can we incorporate Spanish traditions?

Yes — flamenco, Málaga wine or the traditional sword cake-cutting are popular touches.

What's the best time of year to get married in Spain?

The season runs from April to October. April–May brings warm days and cool evenings, July–August is very hot, and from mid-October to March you'll find warm days with chillier evenings.

How does Spain's weather affect outdoor weddings?

Spain offers wonderfully sunny weather; for extreme heat or the rare shower, tents and covered areas provide a comfortable alternative.

Are flights or accommodation more expensive at certain times?

Yes — summer months and national holidays push prices up, so booking in advance is recommended.

How does the wedding day timeline usually look?

Preparations begin around 11am, the ceremony is typically at 4–5pm, followed by a drinks reception. Dinner runs roughly 6–8pm, dancing starts around 10–11:30pm, and the night ends between 3 and 4am depending on the venue.

What if I don't know how many guests will attend yet?

That's no problem. Fewer guests may involve a supplement or minimum spend, and more guests simply means adjusting the venue's spaces — we guide you through it as your guest list firms up.

Do you help arrange guest accommodation?

Yes. We recommend hotels, villas and apartments across a range of budgets.

How can we arrange transport for guests?

We coordinate local buses or taxis so everyone arrives comfortably and on time.

How can we entertain children at the wedding?

A professional crèche and play service is available, including babysitting, so younger guests are looked after and parents can relax.

What can guests do during their stay?

Visits to the Nerja Caves, boat trips, wine tastings and flamenco classes are all lovely options.

Should we organise pre- or post-wedding gatherings?

Yes. Informal get-togethers with tapas, a BBQ or drinks are a lovely, cost-effective way to connect your guests.

Can we have casual dining like BBQs or tapas?

Yes. Many venues offer relaxed dining experiences such as BBQs or tapas.

Do guests get a meal choice?

Not usually, though pre-arranged options can be offered if confirmed around ten days beforehand.

Are dietary requirements catered for?

Yes. Most caterers offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menus tailored to your guests.

Can we have late-night snacks after dancing?

Absolutely. Churros with chocolate, mini burgers or pizza are always a hit.

Can I choose my suppliers?

Yes. You can select from our trusted supplier list or bring your own.

Can I bring my own suppliers (hairdresser, photographer…)?

Absolutely. Just share their contact details and we'll coordinate with them.

What about photography and videography?

We work with wedding specialists, or you're welcome to bring your own team.

What entertainment options are there?

Everything from flamenco performers to DJs and photo booths, to create exactly the atmosphere you want.

Can we customise keepsakes?

Yes — fans, ceramics or personalised wine bottles make beautiful mementos of the day.

Can we organise fireworks or a light show?

Yes — depending on the venue, a display can close the evening spectacularly.
