Celebrate Your Love, Your Way, Under the Spanish Sun

Planning a wedding abroad is a dream for many couples, and Spain continues to be a top destination for unforgettable ceremonies. One of the most personal and important choices you’ll make is finding the right wedding celebrant, someone who can craft a ceremony that reflects your love story, your values, and your vision.

What Is a Wedding Celebrant?

A wedding celebrant is a trained professional who creates and leads personalized ceremonies. Unlike religious or civil officiants, celebrants offer the flexibility to hold your wedding wherever and however you choose. That can be on a beach, in a vineyard, or tucked into a romantic Spanish courtyard for example.


Why Choose a Celebrant in Spain?

  • Personalized & Meaningful: From boho-style weddings to elegant elopements, celebrants work closely with you to craft something totally unique.
  • Legal Flexibility: Many couples choose to do the legal paperwork at home and have their symbolic ceremony in Spain.
  • Bilingual Options: Celebrants can offer ceremonies in English, Spanish, or both , which is perfect for international guests.
  • Local Knowledge: A celebrant based in Spain can recommend venues, traditions, and vendors that align with your vision.

5 Tips for Finding the Perfect Wedding Celebrant in Spain

  1. Start Early
    Good celebrants get booked up fast, especially in peak season (May–September).
  2. Research & Read Reviews
    Look at testimonials, social media, and blog posts to get a feel for their style and personality.
  3. Look for Specialization
    Want a boho wedding? A beach ceremony? or something more formal? Find someone who aligns with your style.
  4. Schedule a Call
    Chemistry matters. A video call is a great way to meet your celebrant and to see if your personalities click.
  5. Ask About Customization
    A good celebrant should be open to including symbolic rituals, readings, and personal touches that matter to you.
