Romantic and Off-the-Beaten-Path: Weddings in Northern Spain

Where mist, music, and magic create unforgettable moments.

Spain is often imagined as sun, sangría, and flamenco — but let’s go deeper.
Northern Spain is where the poesía happens.
Cooler weather, Celtic whispers, and coasts carved by time.

If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding that’s authentic, nature-kissed, and rich in soul, this is where te amo (teh ah-mo) sounds like a love spell.

Galicia: Celtic Soul & Stone Pazos

Galicia is rain-kissed romance.
Imagine this: an ivy-wrapped pazo (manor house), the scent of eucalyptus, the sound of a Galician harp as you say your vows under a soft drizzle.
Then — a warm Albariño toast and an intimate banquete with your favorite people.

Here, nature blesses your wedding, not just witnesses it.

Basque Country: Michelin Stars & Ocean Views

For the elegant, the curious, the bon vivants.
San Sebastián and Bilbao offer cliffs, cuisine, and culture in equal measure.

Picture this: exchanging vows with the Atlantic behind you, then a feast with pan con tomate, local cheeses, and one (or two) Michelin-starred surprises.
The Basque Country is both romantic and refined — a destination that sings.
