WEDDING CELEBRANT SERVICES

Same-Sex Weddings in Barcelona & Catalonia

Spain is one of the most gay-friendly countries in Europe* and Barcelona’s cosmopolitan, open-minded vibe means non-traditional weddings are truly celebrated here.

Many couples choose to tie the legal knot in a registry office and then celebrate their love with a humanist or symbolic ceremony. That’s where The Wedding Man comes in as your inclusive wedding celebrant based in Barcelona.

The best part? You can hold your ceremony wherever you like. Catalonia is bursting with options: the emblematic city of Barcelona, the rugged Costa Brava, the fabulous, LGBTQ+ friendly town of Sitges, or picture perfect country houses and castles tucked away in the Catalan countryside. Whether you’re planning a city celebration, a seaside party, or a magical countryside escape, you’ll be spoilt for choice. And The Wedding Man will be on hand to officiate for you.

* Since July 2005, same-sex couples have been able to marry legally in Spain. However, you do need proof of residency to legally marry in Spain!

FAQs About The Wedding Man’s Inclusive Celebrant Services

How does The Wedding Man make a wedding ceremony inclusive?

An inclusive wedding ceremony ensures that every couple feels seen, celebrated, and fully represented.

The Wedding Man takes the time to get to know each couple before the big day, helping him craft a ceremony that reflects their story, their values, and their personalities. Every ceremony celebrates love authentically and joyfully in all its glorious forms – bride & groom, bride & bride, groom & groom, or any two humans mad enough about each other to say “let’s do this!.”

As an inclusive celebrant, The Wedding Man is happy to conduct ceremonies in English, Spanish, Catalan, and French. He’ll also happily weave in a phrase or two from the languages spoken by your guests, helping everyone feel included and engaged throughout the ceremony. Some couples also choose to include rituals from their own culture, making the ceremony feel personal for them and meaningful for guests who share that heritage.

Making ceremonies truly inclusive is central to The Wedding Man’s approach, welcoming all couples, all backgrounds, and all expressions of love. This is especially important for Barcelona destination weddings, where friends and family often travel from across the world (and across cultures) to celebrate with you.

Absolutely! The Wedding Man has conducted 30+ same-sex weddings in Spain and Catalonia, making him a trusted and experienced LGBTQ+ friendly wedding celebrant. Every ceremony is crafted to celebrate love authentically and joyfully, no matter who’s saying “I do.”

Check these lovely words from Alex Village who published a 5 star review for The Wedding Man on weddingsonline.ie for his destination wedding ceremony at Mas Casamitjana (AKA This Must be the Place) near Barcelona.

“When looking for an officiant we wanted the best. Charming, confident, professional, sincere, great delivery and the odd cheeky wink. I’m pleased to say that James delivered beyond our expectations and was a crucial part of the day’s success. We actually first met James back in 2020 pre covid. It was a chance to get to know each other and ask questions about our wedding plans. As a same-sex couple I think we were perhaps a little nervous when meeting new people and talking about the wedding. James put us completely at ease and helped to visualise the ceremony from start to end. He had lots of tips and suggestions to help us decide on the format and even the wording of our vows. Covid delayed our Barcelona wedding twice but when it finally came around, everything was just perfect and James was a massive part of that! He even had a tissue ready for my inevitable tears ???? Ever since the wedding our friends have said ?wow where did you find the officiant!? and ?he fitted in so great, was he a family member?!? Such glowing comments, that we couldn’t agree with more. Thank you James!”

Which languages can The Wedding Man confidently conduct a wedding ceremony in?

The Wedding Man can confidently conduct wedding ceremonies in English, Castellano, Français, and Català.

He also enjoys weaving in a phrase or two in other languages spoken by your guests, helping everyone feel included and engaged, even if they don’t understand the main language of the ceremony.
