How to plan a wedding in Spain without living here
The timeline, the visits and the decisions that matter most when you plan from the UK.
Planning a wedding in another country sounds daunting. With the right order of decisions, it's calmer than planning one at home.
Plan the legal part first
If you both live in the UK, the ceremony in Spain is symbolic and the legal part is done at home. Fixing that date early shapes your paperwork and your timings. Read Getting married in Spain.
Then the venue and the date
On the coast, the most sought-after venues book up early.
Plan your visits
One or two well-planned trips are enough: venue, tastings, florist, hair and make-up trial.
Keep everything in one place
A single wedding book with every decision, supplier and payment, so nothing lives only in an email thread.
