A little guidance

For an outdoor celebration, the weather matters. Here are the approximate average daytime highs across our destinations through the main wedding season, to help you choose the month and setting that suit you.

| Costa del Sol, Spain | 24° | 28° | 30° | 31° | 28° |

Can we view venues before we book?
+
Absolutely. We arrange viewings in person or virtually, whatever suits you, so you can get a real feel for each setting before deciding. For couples planning from the UK and Ireland, virtual tours make it easy to shortlist from home.
How many venues will you show us?
+
We curate a focused shortlist of venues worth your time rather than an overwhelming list. Each one is chosen to match your style, guest numbers and budget, so every option is one we would genuinely recommend.
Can you work with a venue we have already found?
+
Of course. If you already have a venue in mind, we are happy to work with it, handle the negotiations and coordinate everything around it. You do not have to start from scratch.
Do the venues include catering and accommodation?
+
It varies by venue. Some are all-inclusive with catering and on-site rooms, while others are a blank canvas we build around with trusted suppliers. We will always be clear about what is included so there are no surprises.
How far in advance should we book our venue?
+
The best venues book up early, so we recommend twelve to eighteen months ahead where you can, especially for weekend dates in peak season. That said, we regularly plan beautiful weddings on shorter timelines.
