● Our couples' favourite months. Midsummer can be hot and August is the traditional Spanish holiday month, so we often favour late spring and September.
The best time of day
Under the Mediterranean summer sun, timing matters. The heat is at its strongest through the early afternoon, so a midday ceremony in an open, shadeless spot can be uncomfortable for you and your guests.
We usually plan the ceremony for the late afternoon, when the heat softens and the light turns golden, then let the celebration flow into the evening. The best venues book up early, so we recommend planning twelve to eighteen months ahead where you can.
- 5:30pmCeremony
Softer light and cooler air as the afternoon sun begins to drop.
- 6:30pmDrinks & canapés
Golden-hour photographs while your guests relax and mingle.
- 8:00pmDinner at sunset
Al fresco dining as the sky turns pink over the coast or city.
- 10:00pmDancing under the stars
The party comes alive in the cool of the evening.

Common questions
Catalonia wedding FAQs
What is the most popular area to get married in Catalonia?
+
Barcelona and its surroundings are the most popular, thanks to the city's style, its venues and easy access from Barcelona El Prat Airport. The Costa Brava to the north is a close second for coastal celebrations, along with Sitges just south of the city and the Penedès wine country inland.
Can we get married on the beach in Catalonia?
+
Yes. The Costa Brava and the Costa Daurada have beautiful beaches and coastal venues ideal for seaside ceremonies and receptions. We handle any permits or arrangements and match the setting to the look and privacy you are after.
Are there castle, masía or historic venues in Catalonia?
+
Plenty. Catalonia is rich in history, from medieval castles and cloisters to the masías, the region's traditional stone farmhouses, which make characterful, private wedding settings. The Penedès also offers historic cava cellars and vineyard estates.
Which airport should our guests fly into?
+
Barcelona El Prat (BCN) is the main international airport and the most convenient for the city, Sitges and the Penedès. For the Costa Brava and Girona, Girona–Costa Brava Airport (GRO) can be closer, and both are well connected across Europe.
When is the best time to get married in Catalonia?
+
Late spring and early autumn are ideal, with warm, sunny days without the peak of summer heat. The season runs from around May to October. Bear in mind that August is the traditional Spanish holiday month, so we often steer couples towards late spring or September.
What day trips would you recommend for guests?
+
Some favourites are the mountain monastery of Montserrat, the medieval city of Girona, the coves and towns of the Costa Brava such as Tossa de Mar and Cadaqués, and cava tasting in the Penedès. Barcelona itself easily fills a day or two of sightseeing.
Can you plan our wedding if we live in the UK or Ireland?
+
Absolutely, and most of our couples plan from abroad. We handle everything on the ground, arrange virtual and in-person viewings, and keep you updated at every step, so planning from home is never a barrier.
Do you help with the legal paperwork and translations?
+
Yes. We guide you through the options, help you gather and translate the right documents, and connect you with celebrants and officiants we trust. As requirements can change, we always confirm the current rules with the local authorities.
Do you cover the whole of Catalonia?
+
Yes. We plan weddings across the region, from Barcelona and Sitges to the Costa Brava, Girona, the Penedès and the Costa Daurada around Tarragona. Tell us the area you have in mind and we will guide you to the right venue.
What exactly do you look after on the day?
+
Everything. We run the schedule, coordinate every supplier, manage the timings and quietly handle anything that comes up, so you and your guests can simply relax and enjoy the celebration from start to finish.
