Destination Weddings in Marbella

On the day of your wedding you and your partner will deservedly be the centre of attention, surrounded by the people who love you most and wish you all the best. For most it’s one of the few occasions in your life when you will feel like movie stars. Where better to tie the knot and celebrate getting married in Spain than in the bright and sunny retreat of Marbella, glittering Spanish home to internationally famous actors and rock musicians.

Getting married in Marbella, an idiosyncratic mix of the extravagant and humble, you can sample both the charms of an old Mediterranean village and the gin palace paradise of nearby Puerto Banus.

The old village of Marbella is an authentic piece of traditional Spain. Centred around the Placa de los Naranjos (Orange Square). Whitewashed buildings and shady lanes provide delightful corners for romantic strolls. You might like to take refreshments on a terrace alive with the colour of flower-decked balconies and the sounds of splashing fountains.  And if you feel in the mood for a little culture the Museo del Grabado Espanol Contemporaneo boasts a superb collection of Spanish etchings.

Puerto Banus stands at the end of what is locally known as the Golden Mile – the Beverly Hills of Spain. As the name suggests Puerto Banus is a port, but not of the working variety. With its massive marina, exclusive shopping area and expensive restaurants it is the perfect place to indulge in the highlife. You might choose to exchange vows on a chartered yacht or near the Puente Romano (Roman bridge) in the grounds of the hotel of the same name. However you celebrate your wedding you will become a part of the glamour and excitement of Marbella.
