Mallorca, and Spain in general, has been a long standing favourite with UK couples looking for some sun and sea to create the perfect setting for their big day. But if you are thinking about Mallorca weddings, but aren’t sure how much it will cost or what you need to do, our complete guide has you covered.

Can You Get Married In Mallorca?

It’s worth noting that Civil ceremonies can only take place in Spain if either the bride or groom have been residents of Spain for at least 2 years. So if both parties are UK citizens, then you can’t have a legal civil ceremony in Mallorca. However, if one or both of you are of the Catholic faith, you can legally marry in a Spanish Catholic Church. You’ll need the below to have a Catholic wedding:

  • A valid 10-year passport
  • A baptism certificate
  • Confirmation certificate
  • Certificate of no impediments (CNI)
  • Certificate of completion of pre-marriage course

Don’t worry if you aren’t of the Catholic faith though, as there are many opportunities to have a blessing ceremony in Mallorca, which can then be made legal in the UK.

Mallorca Wedding Venues

With some of the most spectacular beach views and exclusive hotels, the options are almost endless when deciding on a Mallorca wedding venue, with many couples opting for a wedding ceremony on the beach and an after-party in a nearby hotel.

If you’re able to be legally married in Spain, you’ll likely want to be married in one of the beautiful Catholic churches that are available, and may choose to have the evening meal and party in a venue elsewhere afterward.

For those couples who plan on having a blessing, this can be done either in a hotel or very often, this will be done in a beach location depending on your preferences.
