Planning a small wedding in Spain? Discover expert tips and intimate wedding venues across Barcelona, Costa Brava & Girona with Casamiga Weddings.
Planning a wedding doesn't mean you need hundreds of guests or a massive budget. For many couples, a small wedding in Spain offers intimacy, romance, and unforgettable experiences — all with fewer logistics and more meaning.
At Casamiga Weddings, we help couples plan micro weddings, elopements, and intimate ceremonies in Spain's most beautiful locations: Barcelona, Costa Brava, and Girona.
Why Choose a Small Wedding in Spain? 💍
More couples are moving away from grand, traditional weddings and opting for smaller, more personal events. Here's why Spain is ideal for your intimate celebration:
Mediterranean Magic 🌞
From sunset beach ceremonies to castle garden vows, Spain offers dreamy settings that feel luxurious, yet relaxed.
Budget-Friendly Options 💸
Fewer guests = more flexibility. Enjoy designer décor, gourmet cuisine, or premium venues — without overspending.
Quality Over Quantity 📸
With fewer distractions, your wedding becomes more intentional, personal, and photogenic.
Easy for Destination Weddings ✈️
Spain’s excellent infrastructure and flight connections make it easy for international guests to join.
What Is Considered a Small Wedding?
At Casamiga Weddings, we define small weddings as:
Elopements: 2–10 guests
Micro Weddings: 10–30 guests
Intimate Weddings: 30–50 guests.
Whether it's just the two of you or a handful of your closest friends and family, we’ll help you design an unforgettable event.
Tips for Planning a Small Wedding in Spain 📋
1. Choose the Right Region
Barcelona: Stylish rooftop venues, artful settings, and cosmopolitan flair
Costa Brava: Idyllic beaches, fishing villages, and romantic sea cliffs
Girona: Fairytale castles, rustic masías, and peaceful countryside charm
2. Pick an Intimate Wedding Venue
For small weddings, venue atmosphere matters more than size. Look for places that offer charm, privacy, and natural beauty.
Popular Venue Types:
Private villas and masías
Garden courtyards
Boutique hotels
Seaside terraces
Historical chapels.
3. Keep the Ceremony Meaningful
A smaller guest list allows you to customize the ceremony:
Personal vows
Involvement of family & friends
Symbolic rituals like handfasting or sand ceremonies
Multilingual officiants (EN/ES/RU available)
4. Curate a Unique Experience
Small doesn’t mean simple — your wedding can still feel luxurious.
Enhance Your Day With:
Private chef dinners
Flamenco or Spanish guitar performances
Sunset photo sessions
Personalized décor
Boat tours or vineyard visits for guests
5. Plan for Flexibility
With a micro wedding, you can be more spontaneous with dates and timelines. Consider:
Midweek weddings – better availability and pricing
Shoulder seasons (April, October) – ideal weather and fewer tourists
Backup indoor plan for outdoor venues
