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 💸
Less 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.

Costa Brava: Idyllic beaches, fishing villages, and romantic sea cliffs
