Fully included

What's included in your wedding as a British couple?

Why the Spanish civil ceremony is not built for most British couples

Spain only allows a civil wedding when one of you is a legal resident here. If neither of you lives in Spain, the registry office route is not available to you, which is why the Gibraltar option below is the one most British couples choose instead.

The Gibraltar route, in a single day

Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, allows civil marriages for non-residents with a short notice period and no Spanish residency requirement. You marry there in a single day and the marriage is recognised back home in the UK and across Spain. No extended stay, no extra bureaucracy.

Costa del Sol is right next door

Gibraltar borders La Línea de la Concepción, and Sotogrande, Marbella and the rest of the Costa del Sol are a short drive from there, so your legal marriage and your wedding celebration can happen within the same trip. We build your itinerary around this if it is the route you choose.

British traditions, at home on Spanish soil

The best man speech: The best man and the father of the bride still take the floor, exactly as expected, with your maestro de ceremonias keeping the running order on track. Morning suits and fascinators: Your dress code travels with you: morning suits for the groom's party, fascinators for the guests, all photographed against a Spanish backdrop instead of a grey British sky. A proper gin and tonic bar: Spain takes its G&T seriously too, so we build a dedicated gin bar into your open bar, with a proper glass, garnish and tonic selection, not just a splash from the well. Afternoon tea, reimagined: A late-afternoon tea corner, scones and all, tucked between the ceremony and the reception for guests who want a quieter moment before the dancing starts.

What's not included

Your outfits, rings, guests above 50, and visa or residency paperwork.

About weddings for internationals

Questions about getting married in Spain as a British couple?

Is it legal to get married in Spain as a British couple?

Your celebration, yes, wherever in Spain you like. The civil paperwork, not directly, unless one of you is a Spanish resident: Spain reserves civil marriage for residents only. Most British couples solve this with a short trip to Gibraltar, where you marry legally in a single day, then travel on to Spain already married for the real celebration. We help you plan both legs of the trip.

Is a Gibraltar marriage recognised back in the UK?

Yes. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and marriages performed there are recognised in the UK and in Spain with no extra registration needed. It is a genuinely popular, straightforward route for British couples getting married in Spain.

What about our guests flying in from the UK?

The pack is built for exactly this: up to 50 guests, so your family and friends can fly in without organising any of the wedding logistics themselves. You handle their flights and hotel; we handle the venue, catering and every other supplier on the ground.

Does our wedding planner speak English?

Yes, throughout the whole process, from your first call to your last dance. Your dedicated planner deals directly with the venue, photographer and every other supplier on your behalf, in English.

How much does it cost, and how do the payments work?

15.000 € fixed price for up to 50 guests, no hidden line items. 500 € reservation, refundable if the suppliers don't work for you (we retain only a 10% handling and processing fee). 25% once you accept them, locking in your date. The rest a week before the wedding.
