Planning a wedding abroad doesn’t have to mean inviting 200 guests and spending a fortune. More couples are now choosing small destination weddings in Spain — intimate, romantic, and stress-free experiences set against the stunning backdrops of the Mediterranean coast.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to plan your dream micro wedding or elopement in Spain, with the expert help of Casamiga Weddings.


Why Choose a Small Destination Wedding in Spain?


  • 🌞 Breathtaking Views: From beach cliffs in Costa Brava to historic towns like Girona and Sitges.

  • 💶 Cost-Effective Luxury: Smaller guest lists mean more budget for quality venues and services.

  • 🕊️ Intimacy & Freedom: Share your day only with your closest loved ones, or elope for a truly personal experience.


Spain offers the perfect mix of charm, sunshine, and celebration — especially for couples seeking something more intimate than a traditional big wedding.


Step-by-Step Guide to Planning Your Micro Wedding in Spain


1. Choose Your Ideal Region


Some of the best destinations for intimate weddings in Spain include:

  • Costa Brava – See full destination guide

  • Barcelona – Romantic rooftops and Mediterranean venues

  • Girona & Blanes – Hidden gems for elopements

  • Platja d'Aro & Tossa de Mar – Seaside villas and panoramic views



2. Define Your Guest List


  • 💑 Elopement (just the two of you)

  • 👨‍👩‍👧 2–10 guests (close family/friends)

  • 👥 10–30 guests (mini destination wedding)


A smaller guest list means more time with each person, lower costs, and more venue options.


3. Pick a Venue That Matches Your Style


Whether you're dreaming of a secluded beach ceremony, a rustic finca, or a luxury villa, Casamiga Weddings has curated a portfolio of stunning venues for small weddings in Spain.

Legal vs Symbolic Ceremony in Spain


Most international couples choose a symbolic ceremony in Spain and register the legal part at home. But we also assist with civil or religious weddings if needed.
