Wedding weekend in Barcelona: 3 days everyone will remember
A wedding weekend is a format in which the wedding turns into a shared journey for the guests. If your friends and relatives are flying in from different countries, one day is often not enough: they spend hours on the flight, check in, get dressed, spend one evening with you and leave. A weekend solves this problem — you create not just an event but a small shared journey, where people have time to get to know each other, talk and breathe out.
The format is ideal for couples who want to spend more time with their guests and remove the question of "what to do with the visitors" on the free days.
Budget and features
A wedding weekend adds 30–40% to the budget of a classic wedding. This is due to the rental of additional venues (for the welcome dinner and brunch), extended catering for guests and increased staff working hours. Budget guideline: from €30,000 (basic classic + 30%) to €50,000+ depending on the number of guests and the level of the venues.
It is important to understand: three days are not automatically better. They mean additional venues, food, drinks, logistics, time and budget. When can one wedding day be the best solution? If most guests live nearby, if the budget is better directed to the quality of the wedding day itself, or if the couple does not want to be the centre of attention for several days.
Venues for a wedding weekend
Country masías and villas. They allow part of the guests to be accommodated right on site (in rooms or in adjoining villas). This reduces transfer costs and creates a sense of privacy. The rest of the guests stay in hotels in Barcelona or nearby towns.
Hotels on the coast (Costa Brava, Sitges). They solve the problem of accommodating guests "in one place" (room + banquet), but have strict restrictions on music and time (often until 00:00).
Urban boutique hotels in Barcelona. If guests want to combine the wedding with a holiday in the city — Gaudí architecture, restaurants and beaches within walking distance.
What the organisation of a weekend includes
We include rental of venues for all three days, catering (welcome dinner, banquet, farewell brunch), transfers for guests, coordination of accommodation and work with visas (if needed). We also draw up a scenario and timing for each day so that guests are not bored and you are not working as an information desk.
The price includes the work of a coordinator and a preparation chat, where we answer the guests' questions instead of you. You do not turn into a round-the-clock information service in the last week before the wedding.
How the preparation works
Stage 1. Introduction. We discuss the concept of the celebration, select the ideal venue (or several), show examples of our weddings and conduct a tour of suitable locations.
Stage 2. Contract. We sign the rental agreement, draw up the banquet menu contract, offer a choice of suppliers from 100+ professionals and arrange payment in several instalments.
Stage 3. Coordination. We coordinate every day of the wedding — from setting up the decorations to serving the guests. We control quality from the table setting to the work of the technical team. We take the organisational hassle upon ourselves for your perfect atmosphere.
