Couples who send us a brief for Spain state a median budget of about EUR 14,500 and a median of 40 guests (10 briefs, January to October 2026). That is our own data, and a single wedding can cost less or more. A legal wedding is possible but requires extensive documentation, and the file is handled where one of you is domiciled, so many couples choose a symbolic ceremony instead. The best months are May-June and September-October, as summer is hot, especially inland. Mallorca and Ibiza suit island weddings, while Marbella lies on the Andalusian coast.
