The Ceremony – Picturesque Moments and Spanish Sun

The wedding ceremony unfolded in a mesmerising setting, nestled amid lush greenery and swaying palms that provided a welcome respite from the warmth of the Spanish sun. The natural beauty of the surroundings offered an idyllic backdrop, perfect for capturing picturesque moments.

To enhance the ambiance, the ceremony area was adorned with two poster frames draped in elegant pink nude fabric added a touch of romance as the couple exchanged their vows in an outdoor ceremony officiated by the local minister, Jeff, whose heartfelt words added a personal touch to the union.

After the ceremony, everyone gathered in the lower garden overlooking the beach club for some tasty bites. The canapés included steak tartare with air baguette bread, blini with smoked salmon, and gin and tonic oysters. It was also a chance for the newlyweds to sneak away for some intimate photos by the seaside jetty. The Mediterranean sea in the background added a romantic touch to the moment.

The Wedding Breakfast – A Luxurious Feast Pool-Side

The wedding day’s food was a standout experience. An opera singer and live cello duo performed during a multi-course meal that included lobster salad with avocado cream, Segovia-style confit suckling pig, and textures of lemon for dessert. With the venue capacity of up to 350 guests, the dining part turned out to be a major highlight.
