WEDDING CEREMONIES
Legal Civil weddings, including same sex marriages, are available in Spain, but recent changes in the qualifying criteria have made legal marriages in most areas difficult and very time consuming if you are not a Spanish resident.
Legal Civil weddings, including same sex marriages, are available in Spain, but recent changes in the qualifying criteria have made legal marriages in most areas difficult and very time consuming if you are not a Spanish resident.
It is less expensive and much easier to have the legal marriage papers completed in your own country and come to Spain for your Wedding Blessing.
This can be exactly the same as a real wedding- and your guests wont know the difference if you don't tell them. You can choose your own vows and readings, and exchange rings. Just as you sign a register in a legal wedding you sign a certificate with your witnesses for whichever ceremony you choose.
The ceremony may be small with just the couple and two witnesses, or may be a large event for hundreds. It can be exactly as you want - such as romantic & emotional. You can either write your own vows, or choose from the list sent to you. Friends & family can contribute with readings & poems. You can be assisted with your musical choices too.
CANDLE LIGHTING CEREMONY
This is a lovely way of signifying the joining of two families as one and is often incorporated into a Wedding Ceremony. It is especially poignant where there are children from previous relationships, as it symbolises them now being one family, and they enjoy being involved in this special day.
Candle lighting may also be used to signify a couple joining as one unit, or to remember those who could not be there on the day.

THE AREA
The Costa Blanca is one of the most stunning Coasts in Spain, with white sand beaches, small coves and dramatic mountains.The sun shines for over 300 days a year so weddings can be held in most months too. There are many fantastic Hotels,Venues & Restaurants which provide superb settings for your Special Day together with a wide range of foods and services.
Discounts are available for the Winter. Ceremonies may be held any day of the week. Advice re locations is available.
RENEWAL OF VOWS
A perfect way to celebrate an Anniversary or to reaffirm your love for one another- whether you have been together for a short time or many years
COMMITMENT CEREMONY
Some couples are unable to have a legal marriage for varying reasons. A non religious Commitment ceremony is a wonderful way of declaring their love and wishes to stay together in front of family and friends.
SAME SEX UNIONS & BLESSINGS
Humanism shows no discrimination,therefore same sex Blessings are available. Humanists value other humans equally no matter what creed, colour, age, gender, sexuality or social standing they are.

Weddings always include the Spanish Civil Code in both languages, and sometimes other parts in Spanish.
