Discover how to plan a perfect small destination wedding in Spain. Tips, venues & packages by Casamiga Weddings – your expert wedding planners in Spain.

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.
