Destination Wedding Planners In Mallorca

Getting married in one of Mallorca’s rustic fincas is a dream for many couples. But before you exchange vows on this Balearic paradise, understanding the legal process is essential.

Required Documents:

• Marriage application: Submit your application at the local Civil Registry Office (Registro Civil) or Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) in Mallorca. Processing times can take several weeks, so early preparation is recommended.
• Passports: Both partners need valid passports, along with photocopies.
• Birth certificates: These must be officially translated into Spanish and apostilled for legal recognition.
• Certificate of No Impediment (Certificado de Capacidad Matrimonial): Issued by your home country, this document confirms that you are legally free to marry. It must be translated and legalized.
• Proof of residency: At least one partner must have lived in Spain for a minimum of two years to qualify for a civil wedding. If neither of you meets this requirement, a symbolic or religious ceremony might be a better option.
• Divorce or death certificate (if applicable): If either partner was previously married, official proof of divorce or widowhood must be translated and legalized.
• Religious requirements (if applicable): Catholic weddings require baptism and confirmation certificates, along with premarital counseling. Most non-Catholic religious ceremonies must be preceded by a civil wedding for legal recognition.

Civil weddings in Mallorca typically take 30–45 days to process, though this can extend during peak wedding season. You will also need at least two witnesses with valid identification present at the ceremony. If neither of you is a Spanish resident, the easiest option is to legally marry in your home country and celebrate with a symbolic ceremony in Mallorca.

The paperwork, translations, and legal process can feel overwhelming, but that’s where we come in! At TWS, we handle all formalities, ensuring a smooth and stress-free path to your dream wedding in Mallorca.

Andalusia is a dream wedding destination in Spain. With its sun-drenched coastal towns and Moorish palaces, you could never go wrong. But you still need an action plan or else many things can go wrong. Here is your step-by-step guide to planning the perfect Andalusian wedding:

• Choose the best time: Mallorca enjoys a Mediterranean climate year-round. The best months for weddings are April to June and September to October when the weather is warm but not overly hot. The summer months (July–August) can be quite busy with tourists, while winter (November–March) is quieter but with unpredictable weather.
• Find the perfect venue: Mallorca has an incredible selection of wedding venues but the island’s top venues book up quickly, especially during peak season, so securing your dream location early is key.
• Handle the legalities: For a legally recognized civil wedding in Spain, at least one partner must have been a resident for 2 years. Most international couples opt for a symbolic or religious ceremony in Mallorca and complete the legal paperwork in their home country. Our team helps navigate the entire legal process for your big day.
• Work with a local wedding planner: Planning a destination wedding from afar comes with challenges. A local wedding planner in Mallorca, like TWS, ensures smooth coordination of venues, vendors, and logistics. With our deep network of trusted suppliers, we handle every detail.
• Select your wedding vendors: Mallorca is home to exceptional wedding vendors, from renowned photographers to expert florists and Michelin-starred caterers specializing in Mediterranean cuisine. We connect you with the best ones on the island and with contracts and negotiations so that you won’t have to lift a finger.
• Arrange accommodations for guests: Mallorca offers a wide range of accommodations for guests but having the right connections and rapport matters in negotiating deals and group bookings. To make travel easy for your guests, we recommend group bookings at locations close to your wedding venue.

• Mallorca is a dream wedding destination, but planning an event on the island comes with its own set of challenges. After years of organizing weddings here, here are some key advices from our experts:
• Popular venues book up fast, especially between May and October. If you have a specific venue in mind, secure it at least 12–18 months in advance.
• Due to local regulations, outdoor music at many venues must stop by midnight or 1 AM. If you’re planning a lively after-party, a venue with an indoor space or one with a permit might fit better.
• While a ceremony on Mallorca’s stunning beaches is possible, you will need a permit from local authorities. Some public beaches have restrictions on decor, amplified music, and alcohol too.
• Events like the Sant Joan Festival in June and local Fiestas Patronales can impact hotel availability and drive up accommodation prices.
• If you are booking a rural finca in Serra de Tramuntana, some roads are narrow and winding. Opt for smaller shuttles instead of large buses. For coastal venues like Deià or Port de Sóller, parking can be limited, so always choose pre-arrange transport over taxis.
• The Mediterranean climate is usually reliable, but unexpected Tramuntana winds can be strong in northern and coastal areas. Local florists and decorators know which floral and décor arrangements hold up best under these conditions.

• Treat your guests to local delicacies like sobrassada (spicy cured sausage), ensaïmada (sweet pastry), tumbet (vegetable dish), and freshly caught seafood.
• Almond blossoms, which bloom in early spring, make for a stunning seasonal touch. Apart from that, you have the options of wild olive branches, bougainvillea, and fragrant rosemary in local blooms.
• Mallorca is home to incredible local wines, particularly from Binissalem and Pla i Llevant vineyards. For a unique touch, offer a hierbas de Mallorca tasting—this aromatic herbal liqueur is a local favorite.
• A Spanish guitar duo or a traditional Mallorcan folk band (xeremiers) will add a magical touch to your ceremony or cocktail hour.
• A sunset sailboat arrival or departure is a must for coastal weddings, while classic vintage cars or even horse-drawn carriages suit countryside and estate venues beautifully.
• Take advantage of Mallorca’s gorgeous weather with long banquet tables under fairy-lit olive groves or a seafood barbecue on the beach. A live paella station adds to the fun.
• End the night in style with a fireworks display over the Mediterranean, a surprise performance by local musicians, or a lantern release into the night sky.
