Villa Laureana
Villa Laureana is the perfect combination of sophistication and tradition, with large green areas (more than 50,000 m2 of gardens!) and luxurious halls of classic charm. 15 minutes from the center of Madrid, in the town of San Sebastián de los Reyes, at Villa Laureana you will enjoy a magical atmosphere for weddings that seek exclusivity and elegance. Do you prefer an outdoor wedding or a majestic hall? Or how about a ceremony in the garden, which gives way to the celebration indoors?
La Casa de Mónico
A classic among classics in Madrid weddings: known for its exquisite cuisine and customization options, La Casa de Mónico is the ideal venue if you are looking for a tailor-made luxury wedding.
Located in Aravaca, just minutes from the city of Madrid and with excellent communications with the center, its gardens and halls offer unparalleled versatility for any style of wedding.

Bonus track: recommendations for your wedding in Madrid
Seasons and weather: choose the perfect date
Madrid is characterized by its continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) are the ideal times for outdoor weddings, thanks to milder temperatures and a very attractive natural landscape.
In summer indoor celebrations are recommended, while from December to February Madrid will allow you to enjoy winter decorations without suffering the rigors of other major European capitals.
Traditions and customs: add a Madrilenian touch
Incorporating local traditions into your wedding can enrich the experience and give it a special charm: you can add a flamenco show during the reception or take advantage of local delicacies such as sangria, calamari or patatas bravas. Do you dare to include tripe or cocido madrileño on your wedding menu?
You can also opt for a decoration that reflects the style and architecture of Madrid, inspired by Goyesque or chulapa, for a truly traditional wedding in the center of the capital.
Documentation and paperwork for international couples
If you or your partner are not residents of Spain, you will need to apply for and present certain documentation in order to have a legal wedding. Although we can help you with this, here is a summary of the necessary documents:
Birth certificates of both spouses, translated if necessary, and validated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Photocopy of valid passport of both spouses.
Certificate of census registration (in the case that one of the two members of the couple resides in Spain).
Certificate of consular registration of the country of origin of the bride and groom.
Certificate of the need to publish edicts issued by the Consulate or Embassy of the country of origin of the spouses.
Lodging and transportation for guests
We can help you with bulk reservations of hotel rooms to guarantee availability and more advantageous rates and arrange transportation to and from the airport, as well as between the hotel and the venue.
Your guests will greatly appreciate this detail, especially if they have traveled a long way to attend your wedding or are unfamiliar with the city.
