Destination Wedding in Catalonia
Hundreds of couples from around the world choose Catalonia to tie the knot under the Mediterranean sun. With a long, warm wedding season and spectacular scenery, outdoor weddings are a dream. Sun-kissed skies, warm welcoming waters and photo-friendly architecture… it’s the perfect backdrop for wedding ceremonies.
Many of Catalonia’s stunning wedding venues – historic estates, charming country houses, and coastal retreats – offer accommodation, so couples and guests can stay together, turning the wedding into a mini-holiday.
Destination weddings have a unique magic as smaller guest lists allow you to focus on quality time with your nearest and dearest. And, with guests arriving early it gives everyone a chance to mingle and unwind before the big day.

He will take the time to get to know you, with as many video calls as needed, to create a completely unique ceremony that reflects your personalities and tells your story.
