Wedding

The chain of islands off the coast of Spain and northern Africa is often neglected for anything other than a quick weekend getaway. One visit, however, will pique your interest for a possible wedding here. From Tenerife to Gran Canaria to Fuerteventura, the options are as endless as the Atlantic Ocean views.

 

The island chain is home to pristine sandy beaches, towering cliffs, sky-kissing volcanoes and miles of views, providing a plethora of venue options. If you´re looking for something more unique than a beach wedding, rent out a traditional Spanish finca, a countryside home set among gardens and tropical flora. Feed your guests with Spanish favorites including tapas and sangria as you enjoy the hospitality of a classic Spanish home.

If you´re searching for something more luxurious, there are a few 5-star hotels scattered along the coasts of Gran Canaria where you can prep for your events in a world-class spa and amenities fit for your entire bridal party.

 

During downtime between wedding events, your guests can enjoy one of the many activities the islands have to offer. Take a hike along the cliffs that overlook the water, or hit one of the golf courses for a relaxing round under the tropical sun.
