The real party started the next day, in an old textile factory near Barcelona. At La Puta Suegra, we took control of this industrial venue and transformed it in an extraordinary way. We weren't intimidated by any limits or obstacles.

Extra Bonus 1: How do I get married on the beach?
Step 1: Hire Your Allies If You Don't Want Just Any Wedding
If you desire a beach wedding in Barcelona that breaks away from the conventional and sets a milestone in the world of celebrations, it will be necessary to hire a wedding planner specialized in luxury ceremonies.
When we talk about the best in beach wedding organization in Catalonia, La Puta Suegra stands out as the team capable of turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
We are not just any wedding planner; at La Puta Suegra, we are renowned for our ability to innovate, anticipate, and resolve every detail with surgical precision. We are not only experts in planning but also in reading our clients and translating their desires into unique moments.

We are the first-choice wedding planner for entrepreneurs and unicorns, athletes and artists, aristocrats, politicians, renowned families, and successful professionals who are redefining the world.
If you want us to be the organizers of your beach wedding, we must tell you that we don't do conventional or traditional ceremonies. We warn you that with us, you will have a luxury wedding not suitable for the faint-hearted. Crazy ideas are our hallmark.
Step 2: Define the Concept of Your Wedding
The concept is the cornerstone upon which everything is built. Without a clear vision, you run the risk of having a generic wedding. By defining the concept, you can establish the foundations upon which to choose the perfect venue, whether it's a more intimate and private beach or a sophisticated beach club with all the luxuries.
The concept will also guide you in choosing the ideal time of year: do you want to take advantage of the bright summer sun, or do you prefer a more intimate and bohemian autumn sunset? Even details like the dress code, music, and gastronomy should be aligned with this central idea.
Defining your concept will not only help you coordinate all these aspects but will also allow all the elements to flow in a common direction, creating a cohesive and special atmosphere that will truly be remembered by your guests.
Step 3: First-Class Logistics and Transportation for Your Guests
A luxury beach wedding should dazzle not only with the ceremony but also with attention to every detail in the organization, including logistics. Providing high-end transportation services for your guests ensures their experience is comfortable and uninterrupted. Forget the stress of arriving late or getting lost on unknown roads; instead, a sophisticated transfer service can include everything from classic cars or limousines to yachts or jet skis that take guests directly from their locations to the wedding venue.
Moreover, logistics is not limited to transportation alone. Other critical aspects of the organization, such as seating arrangements, venue access, and rest areas, must also be well-coordinated to maintain the flow of the celebration. Paying attention to this aspect is vital so that the wedding is not hindered by inconveniences that can be avoided with proper planning.
Step 4: Entertainment—An Aspect That Cannot Be Missing
Entertainment is the heart of any memorable wedding and an area where you can dazzle your guests in unexpected ways. Don't limit yourself to a live band, an internationally renowned DJ, or fireworks displays. Challenge yourself to go much further, although the real challenge will be for us, as we will be in charge of designing some very good "ready-to-go" shows for you.
This is where you can truly make a difference from other weddings. If you're looking for an immersive and unique experience, at La Puta Suegra we will design entertainment that fits perfectly with your vision, and about which you won't have to worry about anything at all.
For example, we organized the first and only bungee jumping ever held at a wedding. For that, we hired a crane over 90 meters high that was used so that both the couple and the guests could jump.
Our premise is that entertainment should surprise and keep the energy of the celebration at its highest point, ensuring that your wedding is remembered as an unforgettable experience.
Step 5: Add the Details—That's Where the Soul of Your Celebration Shines
The details are what transform a beach wedding into an event everyone will remember. Every element—from the decoration and centerpieces to the small gifts for the guests—has the power to leave a lasting impression.
It's not just about choosing flowers or table linens, but thinking of each piece as an extension of your love story. Personalizing every aspect of the wedding—such as creating themed corners with family memories or incorporating special messages for your loved ones—infuses warmth and soul into the event.
Invitations, exclusive drinks bearing your name, even the tableware and the music during dinner are opportunities to showcase your style and make your guests feel deeply connected to your celebration.
The Party Continues! Pre and Post-Wedding Events
At La Puta Suegra, we are an all-in-one wedding planner. We can take care of absolutely all activities before and after your wedding—proposals, engagement dinners, bachelor/bachelorette parties, trips, spa sessions, nightlife, outings, tours, etc.
Imagine an exclusive cocktail on the beach the day before the wedding or a relaxed brunch with sea views the next day. At La Puta Suegra, we even take care of organizing 100% personalized honeymoons anywhere in the world, and even getaways for your guests to spectacular places.
We will have the responsibility to do everything, but you will have one responsibility that you cannot avoid: making sure your body can handle all the excitement and entertainment we will make you experience before, during, and after your wedding.
A clear example of our magic is the unforgettable proposal of Marga and Toni. It's a Parisian love story in which we wanted to make everything easy for Toni, as he had the most challenging task: proposing to Marga.
So at La Puta Suegra, we took charge of planning the trip to Paris for the proposal in front of the Eiffel Tower. We organized the couple's accommodation, Marga's attire, makeup, and styling, luxury transportation for touring the most beautiful and emblematic places in Paris, and even professional photographs of everything that was happening.
But the story doesn't end there! As expected, Marga said, "Yes, I do!" And from that very moment, at La Puta Suegra, we got to work to plan a dream wedding for them.
Extra Bonus 2: What Do You Need to Get Married in Barcelona?
Documentation for the Couple
To get married in Barcelona, the couple needs the following documentation:
Valid identification documents (DNI, NIE, or passport).
Updated certificate of residence registration (empadronamiento).
Family book (in case you and your partner have children together).
To learn more about each document, we recommend visiting their respective links.
Residence Registration (Empadronamiento)
The empadronamiento is the official registry that certifies a person's residence in a specific municipality—in this case, any locality in Catalonia, such as Barcelona.
To get married in Barcelona, one of you must be registered. Depending on your particular case, the empadronamiento can be carried out through:
Citizen Attention Office (OAC)
Citizen attention telephone line
Virtual Procedures Office (OVT)
Office of Social and Economic Benefits (OPSE)
To obtain the empadronamiento, the resident must present their identification documents and a proof of address, such as a rental contract, a utility bill in their name, or a Certificate of Residence Knowledge (ICR).
Civil Marriage Application and Marital Capacity
To initiate the procedure, you need to fill out and download the civil marriage application and marital capacity form corresponding to Catalonia. Once you have the document in hand, you and your partner must appear at the Civil Registry along with at least one witness (of legal age, whether a relative or not).
For the appearance, along with the application, you must add the following documents:
Valid ID (original and photocopy).
Certificate of residence registration.
Literal birth certificate.
Sworn declaration of marital status.
What Type of Dress Is Worn at a Beach Wedding?
For a beach wedding, the ideal dress is light, fresh, and comfortable. Fabrics like chiffon, tulle, or silk are perfect for maintaining a feeling of coolness under the sun, and designs are usually simpler and bohemian, with details like soft lace or discreet embroidery that reflect the relaxed nature of the setting.
The train should be minimal or detachable to avoid complications with the sand, and empire waist cuts or backless styles are often chosen for their elegance and practicality in this type of environment.
What Colors Are Used for a Beach Wedding?
The colors for a beach wedding are usually inspired by the natural surroundings, predominated by soft and fresh tones. White is always a classic but is often combined with palettes of sky blue, mint green, coral, sandy beige, and pastel tones like lavender or dusty pink, which provide a sense of calm and harmonize with the marine landscape.
You can also opt for soft metallic tones, such as rose gold or silver, to add a touch of luxury without disrupting the relaxed beach aesthetic.
