Wedding Planner in Valencia, Spain

Most weddings I plan land between €20,000 and €50,000 for 30 to 100 guests, depending on the venue, catering and season. That covers a beautiful finca, good food and wine, flowers, music and photography. My planning services start from €1,000. On a first call I'll give you a realistic budget estimate for your guest count, for free.

May, June, September and October are the sweet spot: warm, sunny and not too hot. July and August work well for evening ceremonies. Spring and autumn dates at popular fincas get booked first, so those need the most lead time.

For a legal marriage registered in Valencia, at a registry office or notary, at least one partner generally needs to be a legal resident here. For a couple living in, say, the US, registering the marriage in Spain is difficult in practice. That's why most international couples handle the legal paperwork at home and hold their real celebration, a symbolic ceremony, here in Spain. Your guests see no difference. I'll explain how it works on our first call.

For full planning, 10 to 14 months before the date is comfortable, mostly because the best fincas book out early. Shorter is possible: I've put together lovely weddings in under six months, and elopements in a few weeks.

All the time, that's most of my couples. I run all vendor communication, contracts and negotiations in Spanish and report back to you in English or Ukrainian. You never have to translate anything yourself.

No. Most of my couples see Valencia for the first time either on one short venue-hunting trip or a few days before the wedding itself. I visit the venues, film walkthroughs for you, taste the menus and meet the vendors. We do the rest over video calls.

Venue search and visits, a vendor team matched to your budget, budget tracking, the timeline, all coordination with suppliers, and me personally running your wedding day. You get one point of contact for everything, from our first call to the end of the party.

Yes. I guide you through the documents for a symbolic or civil ceremony, connect you with sworn translators when needed, and read through vendor contracts in Spanish so you always know what you're signing.

Anything from two people to around 200. Fincas around Valencia comfortably host 60 to 150 guests, and there are venues for both tiny elopements and big celebrations. Tell me your rough guest count and I'll shortlist venues that fit.

Yes. I regularly work across the Costa Blanca, including Alicante and Benidorm. If your dream venue is a bit further along the coast, ask me, chances are I already know it.
