Wedding Planner in Alicante
Getting married in Alicante means marrying in a real Mediterranean city, not just a resort. There's the old town, the castle above the port, beaches a short walk from dinner. But planning it from another country is hard: the venues are hours from where you live, the contracts come in Spanish, and you can't fly over for every decision. That's where I come in. I'm here in Spain, I visit the venues for you, meet the vendors in person and handle the details, for couples marrying in Alicante and across the Costa Blanca. We can talk in English, Spanish or Ukrainian, whichever is easiest for you.
Wedding Planning Services in Alicante
Every couple comes to me at a different stage. Some want me to handle the whole wedding from the first idea to the last dance. Some have already found a venue and need help with vendors and logistics. And some just want to elope, the two of them, somewhere beautiful on the coast. Wedding planning starts from €1,000, and the first consultation is free.
Full Wedding Planning
You're abroad, I'm in Spain, and I take the wedding off your hands completely. I find the venue, build your vendor team, manage the budget and keep you updated at every step. You arrive a few days before and everything is ready.
Partial Planning Support
You've started planning on your own and hit a wall, maybe the vendors, maybe the contracts in Spanish. I step in exactly where you need me and handle that part properly. You stay in charge, I cover the gaps.
Elopements in Alicante
Just the two of you, or a handful of your closest people. A beautiful ceremony by the sea or at a quiet finca, with photographer, flowers, dinner and guidance all taken care of.
Why Get Married in Alicante
Of all the places on this coast, Alicante gives you the most variety in one spot: a proper city, real beaches and countryside estates, all within easy reach. If you're still weighing it against Italy or the South of France, here's my honest take as someone who plans weddings here.
A City, Not Just a Coast
Alicante is a genuine city with real character: the old quarter, the Santa Bárbara castle above the port, rooftops with views across the town and out to sea. If you want your wedding to feel urban and alive rather than tucked away in the countryside, this is the place.
Beaches and Hidden Coves
The coast here runs from the wide golden sands of San Juan to small, quiet coves further out along the shore. A symbolic seafront ceremony can be arranged with the right permits, and there are plenty of licensed coastal venues for something beautiful without the extra paperwork.
Estates and Country Fincas
Just inland you'll find historic fincas and estates wrapped in vineyards and hills, the settings most of my couples picture. Beautiful, private and built for a real celebration, they give your day the sense of space and occasion a wedding deserves.
Turn Your Wedding Into a Few Days Together
Most of your guests are flying in, and many will make a short trip of it. That's worth planning for. I help couples build the whole weekend around the wedding, not just the day itself: a relaxed welcome dinner the night before so everyone meets before the ceremony, and an easy get-together the day after, by the pool or on the beach, before people head home. It turns one celebration into a few days your guests actually remember, and it takes nothing extra off your plate, because I arrange it alongside everything else.
Real Weddings in Alicante
These are real weddings I planned at venues around Alicante, most of them for couples who lived abroad through the whole planning process.

FAQ: Planning a Wedding in Alicante
How much does a wedding in Alicante cost?
Most weddings I plan land between €20,000 and €40,000 for a mid-sized celebration, depending on the venue, guest count and season. That covers a beautiful venue, good food and wine, flowers, music and the details that make the day yours. My planning starts from €1,000, and on a first call I'll give you a realistic budget for your numbers, free of charge.
What's the best time of year for a wedding in Alicante?
Late spring and early autumn are ideal: warm, sunny and comfortable for an outdoor ceremony. Summer suits evening and beach weddings beautifully. The most popular dates book up early, so those need the most lead time.
Do we need to be in Spain to plan the wedding?
No. Most of my couples see their venue in person only once, or even for the first time in the wedding week. I visit the venues, film walkthroughs, meet the vendors and handle everything here, while we make the decisions together over video calls.
Can you help with the legal side of getting married in Spain?
The rules for a legal marriage in Spain can be tricky for couples coming from abroad, and most choose to handle the legal paperwork at home and celebrate with a symbolic ceremony here. I'll walk you through how it works and point you in the right direction, so there are no surprises later.
Do you work with couples who don't speak Spanish?
All the time, that's most of my couples. I handle every vendor conversation, contract and negotiation in Spanish and report back to you in English or Ukrainian. You never have to translate anything yourself.
Do you also plan weddings in Benidorm and across the Costa Blanca?
Yes. I regularly work across the wider region. If your venue is a little further along the coast, ask me, chances are I already know it.
Can we get married on the beach in Alicante?
A symbolic ceremony on a beach like San Juan can be arranged with a permit from the town hall, usually kept simple, without large structures. Many couples prefer a seafront venue or beach club that already holds its own event licence, which removes the paperwork entirely. Tell me the feeling you're after and I'll find the setting that fits.
What kind of venues does Alicante have?
More variety than almost anywhere on the coast: city rooftops and historic buildings in Alicante itself, seafront spots along the coast, and country fincas and estates just inland. Whether you want a city feel, a beach feel or a countryside finca, it's here.
