Your wedding ceremony in Spain.
Just imagine your wedding ceremony in the majestic mountains of Andalucia, or on a beach, next to the deep blue Mediterranean sea, or at a funky beach club in Marbella, maybe at a private villa, a mansion or even a castle! No matter where your wedding venue is, if it's here in beautiful southern Spain, then I can offer my professional services for your wedding ceremony here in Spain.
The beauty of a humanist wedding ceremony/blessing is that it can be performed just about anywhere, often without the need for any special permissions and while it's only symbolic, it can be made to be very real indeed. Reciting your vows to each other in front of your family and friends, performing little rituals, and having your friends or family members perform readings, it's all possible. Your wedding ceremony in Spain can be beautiful, meaningful and memorable, I would be truly delighted to be your officiant on this very special day!

Legal Aspects of Wedding Ceremonies in Spain:
- For civil weddings to be legally recognized, they must be officiated by a legally authorized celebrant, such as a judge, notary or registry official. Religious weddings, particularly Catholic ones officiated in the Catholic Church, are also legally binding in Spain. However, if you choose a symbolic or humanist ceremony, of the type offered by a celebrant like myself, you’ll still need to have a civil ceremony to make the marriage legally valid. This is what most couples embarking on a destination wedding tend to do! They treat the official wedding as a formality, often having very few guests attend and then enjoy a bigger gathering with a ceremony that includes all the flowers and decorations you dreamed of, at the wedding reception venue itself!
