Getting Married in Barcelona

Let Iberian Escapes help you say ‘I do’ in the Catalan Capital.

Many foreigners choose Barcelona to celebrate their wedding. And who can blame them?

With gorgeous venues, incredible accommodations, memorable food and almost guaranteed fabulous weather, Barcelona is the perfect destination for nuptials.

Iberian Escapes offers full wedding planning in Barcelona, from the paperwork to the photographers, from caterers to the grand celebration.



Planning The Big Day

If you dream of getting married in Barcelona, you can never really plan too far ahead.

This is particularly true if you want to legally tie the knot here, and not just celebrate your partnership after you have officially become a married couple back home.

Iberian Escapes has organised countless weddings in Spain and Portugal and we partner with legal professionals who are experts in navigating Spanish bureaucracy for you.

If you don’t speak Spanish fluently, or don’t live in Barcelona permanently, advice for a local, legal professional is essential.

Iberian Escapes works with the best, who can advise you on eligibility and the paperwork you need to get legally married in Barcelona.

Contact us today, and we’ll start to get everything organised for your dream Barcelona wedding.



The Wedding Ceremony Venue

Civil weddings in Barcelona are conducted at the registro civil (or Civil Registry Office) - a modern building in the old town.

Given the wait times to book a slot, many couples choose to book a registry office out of town.

Smaller villages and towns either along the coast or inland, conduct wedding ceremonies in the local town hall – and they are mostly pretty, historic buildings that brim in high romance. Often it’s the mayor himself that conducts the ceremony!


Getting married in a small chapel attached to a traditional masia (country estate) where you can also host the reception is another glorious way to celebrate your love.

Beach weddings are also hugely popular, with the ceremony carried out on the sands under a frothy white marquee before cocktails and a seafood banquet under the stars.

The incredible and varied beauty of Barcelona and Catalonia offers an enormous choice in wedding and reception venues.

From medieval castles with landscaped gardens in the Costa Brava, to smart, designer reception venues in Sitges and Barcelona restaurants with incredible gardens and views.


Our wedding partners thoroughly research all the options according to your vision, finding you the perfect venue to say ‘I do.’

We can also arrange for a celebrant who speaks your language, and a photographer who will beautifully document the most important day of your life.

Perhaps you would like a Spanish rumba band playing as your guests arrive?

Leave that to us!



Finding The Perfect Wedding Dress In Barcelona

Spain loves a wedding and Spanish wedding dress designers are world-renowned.

As part of our full wedding planning service, our personal shopper can help you find your dream dress.

She will make private appointments in the salons of the most famous wedding dress designers in Spain for made-to-measure creations that are simply spectacular.

She can also guide you to independent boutiques to find your ‘second’ wedding dress and outfits for your bridesmaids. From vintage bo-ho styles to glamourous catwalk-ready gowns, Barcelona’s boutiques can outfit the entire wedding party in incredible style.

For grooms, we can show the best tailors and ready-to-wear – even take you to a private workshop that supplies suits to the Spanish Royal Family!

Catering for your Barcelona wedding

When it comes to wowing the guests at your Barcelona wedding with fabulous Spanish food, the sky’s the limit!

Our partner catering companies in Barcelona can provide gourmet banquets for hundreds, and take care of all the extras such as floral arrangements, table settings and wait staff.

If you are planning on a more intimate wedding, we can also arrange private dining rooms in centrally located restaurants, or at-home caterers in luxurious villas with a pool – the perfect choice for ‘destination’ wedding celebrations that last all weekend long.

One of our more popular wedding venues is a renowned restaurant in traditional masia located in a verdant neighbourhood of Barcelona.

With parking, landscaped gardens, grand dining rooms and delicious food based on classic Spanish dishes such as paella and fiduà, it combines rural romanticism and easy access from the centre of Barcelona.
