Express wedding in Barcelona "turnkey": when the decision is made but time is short
What it is. An express wedding is a full celebration with a ceremony, banquet and decor, organised in a compressed timeframe (from 2 days). It is not a "cut-down" wedding but a ready-made package that already includes all the key elements: from the bridal bouquet to the work of the host and DJ. The format suits those who value flexibility, want to save on specialist services at reduced prices and are ready to adapt to available (last-minute) dates.
What types there are. An express wedding can be intimate (for the couple and a few close ones) or classic (for 20–30 guests). An outdoor ceremony on the coast, at a historic masía or on a boutique hotel terrace — we select a venue from among those with available dates in the coming month.
Where we work and where we travel
We organise express weddings in Barcelona and throughout Catalonia. We travel to the Costa Brava coast (Sitges, Calella), to country masías in the province of Barcelona (Sant Cugat del Vallès, Esplugues de Llobregat), as well as to historic city centres (the Gothic Quarter, El Born district). For ceremonies in nature we work with wineries and estates within 30–60 minutes of the city.
What the "Express" package includes
Banquet and cocktail reception. Including the corkage and service fees. The menu is developed by a chef to suit your budget.
Decor. Bridal bouquet, decoration of the newlyweds' table, arrangements for guest tables (3–4 pieces), decoration of the outdoor ceremony area, transport costs, setup and dismantling. Decorative flowers and fabrics are included; replacement with fresh flowers is at an additional cost.
Host and DJ. The host's work and sound equipment for the banquet.
Photographer. Professional shooting of the key moments of the day.
Wedding cake. A signature cake from a pastry chef.
Outdoor ceremony. A symbolic ceremony with an officiant (official registration for foreigners in Spain is difficult — residency is required for at least one of the parties).
Technical details and materials
All the venues we work with are checked for compliance with sound, light and setup requirements. We clarify in advance: until what time music is allowed, whether there are noise restrictions, what equipment is already on site and what will need to be brought. For the express format this is critically important, as little time remains for coordination.
The decor is made from decorative flowers and fabrics (replacement with fresh ones on request). The technical equipment includes light, sound and, if necessary, a generator for country venues. All suppliers have experience working in Catalonia and know the local requirements for holding events.
How the preparation works in a compressed timeframe
Stage 1. Introduction (day 1). We discuss the concept of the celebration, select the ideal venue from among the available dates, show examples of our weddings and conduct a tour (or an online showing if you are abroad).
Stage 2. Contract (day 1–2). 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 (wedding day). We coordinate the day 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.
Who the express format suits
Those who value flexibility and savings, who are ready to hold the celebration without being tied to a specific date, yet still receive quality service, beautiful decoration, professional services and a high level of service. The number of such dates is limited — it must be confirmed with the manager.
