  • Why You Should Absolutely, Positively, 100% Elope to Spain

Hey lovebirds! Are you weighing up whether to go big and all-out with your wedding or keep it small, sweet and intimate? Well, let me spill the sangria on why you should grab your passports and elope to Spain! Buckle up for the ride, because I am obsessed with elopements in Spain.

The Ultimate Romantic Getaway 

Spain isn't just a country; it's an experience. From the passionate flamenco rhythms in Andalusia to the stunning beaches of the Costa del Sol, Spain sets the stage for adventurous romance like no other. Imagine saying "I do" against a backdrop of Ronda's Medieval Puente Nuevo bridge or tying the knot in Malaga's stunning mirador of Gibralfo that looks out onto the entire city. It’s like living in an awesome, dream but better—because it’s your real life!

Foodie Heaven 

Forget the typical wedding chicken or fish dilemma. In Spain, you’re diving into a culinary paradise. Picture yourselves sharing a giant pan of authentic paella in Málaga or eating way too many churros dipped in thick, velvety chocolate - finger-looking good! And let's not forget the tapas! A little patatas bravas, some jamón ibérico, a glass of Ronda wine… your taste buds will be in heaven!

Stress-Free Vibes 

Who needs the stress of seating charts, picky relatives, and the fuss of decorations and flowers? Not to mention the cost of hosting an event on this scale. Eloping to Spain means you can focus on what truly matters: your love for each other. Stroll hand-in-hand through the picturesque streets of Ronda, or lose yourselves in the lush landscapes of the Málaga countryside. It’s all about you two, with zero fuss.

Instagram-Worthy Backdrops 

Every corner of Spain is a photo op waiting to happen. Your elopement photos will be the most amazing record of your wedding day - that special time where you took a bold step and got married in exactly the way that you wanted to. Not to mention, you’ll have the ultimate backdrop for a wedding album that will make everyone swoon.

Adventures Galore 

Eloping doesn’t mean missing out on adventure. Spain is a playground for thrill-seekers and culture buffs alike. Surf the waves in Tarifa, walk the Camino del Rey, or lose yourself in the art and history of Malaga's museums. Your elopement can be the start of an epic adventure you’ll never forget

Flamenco and Fiestas 

In Spain, life is a celebration. From the passionate flamenco shows to the vibrant local festivals, you’ll find plenty of ways to keep the party going. Why not join in a traditional fiesta? Dance the night away and let the rhythm of Spain infuse your special day with unforgettable joy.

Legal Ease 

Worried about the legal side of things? Fear not! All you need to do is to have a basic low-key legal ceremony in your country of origin (it's almost impossible for non residents to be legally married in Spain), either before or after your elopement in Spain. Your legals are done and your Spanish celebration of marriage can begin! 

Unbeatable Weather 

Spain’s climate is as diverse as it is delightful. Whether you crave the sun-drenched beaches of the Mediterranean or the mild, pleasant temperatures of the interior, Spain has got you covered. Say goodbye to rain checks and hello to sunshine-filled memories.

The Language of Love 

Even if you don’t speak Spanish fluently, the language of love needs no translation. The friendly locals, the romantic phrases, and the beautiful sounds of Spanish will add an extra layer of magic to your elopement. By the end of your trip, you’ll be saying “Te quiero” with ease. And our elopement team is made up of both Spanish and British nationals, all speaking English and Spanish, so you'll really have no difficulties or language barriers when it comes to planning your elopement in Spain.
