Wedding Ceremonies
NERJA * TORROX * TORRE DEL MAR * MALAGA * MIJAS * MARBELLA
Your wedding ceremony in Spain.
Book me, English wedding celebrant Mark Antony, to write and conduct your symbolic wedding ceremony (blessing), where you make your personal wedding vows in front of your family and friends. The ideal thing about this type of wedding ceremony is that it can be held at most venues and does not need any special license. My wedding ceremonies are handwritten individually and together with your input, I can make your wedding ceremony a lot more meaningful to you as a couple. I live in Spain all year round, but I am a native English speaker (British), originally from Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire and without any super strong accent, so your ceremony will be clear and legible too!
I am based in Nerja, Spain all year round, so I am not a "fly-in" celebrant, meaning less risk for your wedding!

Note: Of course, while this type of symbolic wedding ceremony can be ideal for many couples, especially those celebrating their wedding in Spain, it is not legally binding, so you would still need to attend the registry office or Church back home to obtain a full, legal marriage certificate.

How it Works.
- 1. Contact me for availability, with the location of your venue, the date and the time of the wedding Ceremony.
- 2. Pay a small deposit of 100 Euros + iva by Bank transfer or PayPal to book the service, the agreed balance is then often paid on the day, or a week before if by Bank transfer, Revolut or PayPal.
- 3. We will converse by Email and have a video chat, or speak by phone to prepare the wedding ceremony just how you like it!
- 4. I arrive at the venue 1 hour before the wedding ceremony to ensure everything is good to go!
- 5. A compact sound system and wireless microphones are included as standard, up to 100 people, or for a small extra charge, I bring a bigger system.
- 6. You take the walk down the aisle, and I will officiate the ceremony in front of all your family and friends, helping to make you both feel at ease as I do so! Typically, ceremonies take between 20 and 35 minutes to perform.
So, can I legally marry in Spain?
This a question that is often asked but with no easy answer! If you are not a resident of Spain, then it's not possible to legally marry here in Spain (Unless you are Spanish) and that is why so many couples use a local wedding celebrant, such as myself to officiate a symbolic wedding ceremony while doing the legal formalities back home. Wedding ceremonies officiated by a wedding celebrant can be performed just about anywhere, and they are designed to be just like the real thing, if not better! This is where you will make your personal marriage vows to each other, in front of all your family and friends. Why not have an informal, no-obligation chat with me about your wedding ceremony in Spain?
If you are a legal resident of Spain, then it may be possible to legally marry in one of the Spanish registry offices, at a notary office or at your local town hall. However, it's still not the same as decorating up the perfect wedding ceremony at your chosen wedding venue. It's no wonder that so many couples choose to make the registry a smaller affair. In contrast, the wedding blessing ceremony is treated like the real thing!
An exception to this is Catholic Church Weddings, as they can be conducted in one of the fantastic Catholic churches in Spain and are then legally recognised internationally! If you need help with a catholic church wedding ceremony, I can help you with all the arrangements and coordinate your Catholic Church wedding on the day. There are some lovely Churches in Nerja, Malaga Marbella and everywhere in between! If at least one of you is Catholic and neither has been married before, then it may be possible to Marry in the Catholic Church.
