Weddings in
Seville
Getting married in Seville means stepping into an Andalusian hacienda with orange-tree courtyards, exchanging vows with the bells of La Giralda in the background and knowing that flamenco is not a hired act but part of the celebration's DNA. March, April, October and November are the chosen months: in summer the thermometer passes 40 °C and weddings shift to autumn.

Where to get married in Seville
Andalusian haciendas and cortijos
Andalusian haciendas and cortijos
Seville holds over 150 haciendas and cortijos for weddings, the largest concentration of this venue type in Spain. Spaces like Hacienda de San Rafael, Hacienda Benazuza, Hacienda El Vizir or Hacienda de Orán combine Mudejar architecture, century-old orange trees and fountain courtyards that make photography almost effortless. Most hold 100 to 400 guests with an indoor backup hall.
Venue types in Seville
Options for your wedding in Seville
- Courtyards and palaces in the historic centre
- The Real Alcázar, Casa de Pilatos, Palacio de las Dueñas or the Hotel Alfonso XIII are the city's most coveted venues. Capacity is limited — 80 to 200 guests — but their historical and visual weight is unmatched in Spain. The Real Alcázar requires special permission and availability is limited to certain days and times; contact the Tourism Board at least a year ahead.
- Flamenco at the wedding: how to integrate it well
- Flamenco at a Seville wedding is not a 20-minute spectacle at the end of the night: it is a structural part of the celebration. The standard at quality Sevillian weddings is to hire a flamenco ensemble for the cocktail hour (guitar, singer and dancer) and leave the first hour of the party free for spontaneous dancing. Budget for a professional ensemble in Seville runs from €1,200 to €3,500 depending on the number of artists and duration.
- Civil ceremony at Seville City Hall
- Seville City Hall, in the Plaza Nueva, holds civil ceremonies in the Salón de Plenos with views over the city's most elegant square. Demand is high: spring dates (March and April) and autumn dates (October and November) book five to eight months in advance. The Civil Registry of Seville is at the Palacio de Justicia (Avenida de la Buhaira) with shorter lead times of two to four months.

Frequently asked questions about weddings in Seville
How much does a wedding in Seville cost?
The average cost of a wedding in Seville is €26,000, with a typical range of €130 to €200 per guest. For a 150-person wedding — the city average — the total budget runs between €19,500 and €30,000. Seville is one of the most affordable cities for a high-quality wedding thanks to the large supply of haciendas and strong competition among Andalusian wedding caterers.
Why should summer weddings in Seville be avoided?
Seville is the hottest city in Western Europe: July and August regularly exceed 40 °C. An outdoor ceremony at 20:00 is still 36 °C. Even with air conditioning in the hall, guests suffer during transfers, cocktail hour and outdoor photos. Local professionals universally recommend March, April, October and November for Seville weddings.
How many wedding vendors are there in Seville?
Seville has over 1,800 verified wedding vendors, including photographers specialising in Andalusian light, caterers with traditional Sevillian menus, copla and flamenco orchestras, and florists expert in orange blossom and carnation arrangements. The supply is wide and average quality is high: Seville hosts over 3,000 weddings a year and the industry is very professional.
What makes a Seville wedding different from the rest of Spain?
Three things set a Seville wedding apart: the setting (no Spanish city has as many haciendas with orange-tree patios and Mudejar architecture), the food (the Iberian ham, gambas al ajillo, salmorejo and honey pastries are on another level) and the music (the handover from the orchestra to the flamenco ensemble at two in the morning happens nowhere else quite like this). If guests are not talking about the wedding for years, something went wrong.
