F.A.Q
The best months to get married in Malaga or Mallorca are during the spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October). During these months, you can expect pleasant weather with milder temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor weddings.
While these are generally the best months for weddings, it’s essential to consider your specific preferences, the availability of venues, and your budget when choosing your wedding date. Keep in mind that the summer months (July and August) can be hot and crowded, so if you prefer milder weather and a more relaxed atmosphere, spring and early autumn are usually the preferred choices.
In Spain, there are two ways to achieve legal marriage status: through a Catholic church or by both partners residing in Spain for at least two years.
Malaga Weddings specializes in symbolic ceremonies set in unique locations, so we do not arrange church weddings. Instead, we collaborate with professional celebrants who can conduct your ceremony in your preferred language. Alternatively, you can invite a friend or family member to craft a personal speech for your ceremony.
Regarding the legal process, our couples handle the necessary paperwork themselves and sign the official marriage certificate at their local city hall, typically just before or after their wedding in Spain. Some couples choose to legally marry several months in advance and have a small celebration with their closest guests in their home country.
We partner with over 100 diverse venues in Malaga, Marbella, and Mallorca. Furthermore, we are open to collaborating with venues in other regions of Spain and around the world upon request.
Our venue options include beachfront locations offering stunning sea views, rustic fincas exuding authentic Spanish charm, private villas ideal for intimate gatherings, or elegant hotels for a touch of luxury – and the list goes on as we continue to discover more locations every day.
To tailor our offerings to each couple’s style and preferences, we curate a personalized list of venues meticulously chosen to align with your envisioned atmosphere and budget. From there, you can select your favorite venues and prepare for a full guided venue tour in Spain.
We suggest two visits to Malaga or Mallorca. The initial visit involves a 1-2 day venue tour to view the selected venues firsthand and choose your wedding venue. The second visit includes a tasting meal to finalize your wedding menu and a hair & makeup trial for the bride(s).
Nevertheless, we are adaptable and cater to our couples’ requirements. In the past, we have organized video tours for couples unable to visit before the actual wedding day. Nonetheless, we encourage visiting and experiencing the locations in person.
For our couples concerned about potential future events such as a new pandemic, war, or any other global occurrence, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Our contracts are carefully crafted with the guidance of an advisor to safeguard our couples, providing them with transparency and peace of mind in the event of a major unforeseen circumstance. You always have the option to reschedule your wedding, with only a minimal fee in exchange for a comprehensive re-planning process and a new date.
Our primary focus is on helping our couples address these concerns and ensuring they do not become a hindrance to enjoying and celebrating one of the most significant and memorable days of their lives.
