The Bridal couple—Based in Hertfordshire with a soft spot for La Cala de Mijas
The fabulous bridal couple, Olivia and Harry, had an intimate but great party, with some 60 nearest and dearest flying out to Malaga to celebrate their special day. The couple enjoyed several weeks in the area, making the most of the proximity of their venue to all the fun and excitement of the Costa del Sol.
Location—Breathtaking views and scenery
Used as a rustic Marbella wedding venue for over four decades, this venue with 14,000 metres of garden offering endless possibilities when it comes to planning your outdoor wedding ceremony and reception, has been the romantic backdrop for many a happy day.
There by the entrance to this rustic villa, the guests enjoyed a welcome cocktail and a chance to mingle and chat with each other whilst enjoying ambient guitar music at the hands of flamenco artist Nano.
The Ceremony—in-built ceremony area with a natural slope leading up to the ceremony site
In the lush private grounds, set among rolling hills and farmland, the rustic ceremony had been set up. At the top of a natural slope wooden benches made a natural space for all the guests to be seated.
There, surrounded by hidden walkways, waterfalls and picturesque nooks overlooking the sea, the stunning bride appeared and to the most romantic wedding ceremony music played on guitar by Nano, the bride walked down the outdoor aisle on the arm of her father.
By the outdoor ceremony site, the lovely couple were joined as husband and wife by Minister Miguel, who officiated the ceremony. Once the emotive vows were said, the rings exchanged and the marriage contract signed, the newlyweds ended their ceremony on a high note with an upbeat wedding recessional to a song played by Nano once again on guitar.
Reception drink & canapes—by the garden pergola
After the ceremony while guests were able to enjoy some of the sumptuous canapes including: dice of marinated tuna with soya, lime and ginger, assortment of croquette and an assortment of Iberian hams and cheeses by a picturesque nook overlooking the sea, Olivia and Harry took advantage of the beautiful backdrop to take some wonderful photos together, captured by the talented Salvador from Evergreen.
The Wedding Breakfast—in a large outdoor garden space decorated with whimsical, fairy-tale lights
The main course was held in a large outdoor garden area which had been decorated with whimsical, fairy-tale lights and flora decorations and styling at the hands of the wonderful Camy from Lemon Face Deco. There the wedding guests were offered a fantastic feast of mediterranean textures including an assortment of typical Spanish tapas such as: chistorra sausages, Spanish omelette dices, padron peppers and a main dish of chicken paella, with a vegetarian paella option available too. A delicious meal topped off with a delightful white chocolate mousse with brownie and vanilla ice cream for dessert.
The dinner was extended to include several highly entertaining speeches before it was time to hit the dance floor.
After Dinner Party—a magical evening with romantic lighting and a catchy playlist
Once dinner was complete, DJ Fuller turned up the music and guests made their way to the outdoor dance floor for the party to really start. A space where, as night settled, romantic lighting including fairy Lights, scatter lights, aerial lights and curtain lights behind the DJ came into play adding a touch of magic to the night sky. A space where everyone enjoyed five hours of open bar, late night snacks and non-stop music sealing the most magical of days in this most stunning villa-style property made to host unforgettable weddings.
