Their connection, which began in school and was rekindled at university, culminated in a romantic proposal under the starry sky of Africa.

Early venue booking & seasonal planning

Barcelona is a popular destination, so booking your wedding venue early—ideally 12 to 18 months in advance—is essential, especially if you're planning for high season. This helps secure your preferred date and venue and aligns your wedding with the best local weather conditions.

Guest experience

Enhancing the guest experience is key to making your wedding memorable. Consider arranging transport, comfortable accommodations, and engaging activities such as city tours, beach outings, or wine tastings. Welcome bags with local Catalan treats can also add a personalized touch.

Backup plans for weather

While Barcelona enjoys pleasant weather, it's wise to have a contingency plan for unexpected changes. We ensure that there are provisions for moving your celebration indoors if needed, or setting up protective coverings to shield against the elements.
