Your Dream Wedding In Spain

There truly aren’t enough words to thank Marcella and the entire team at Your Dream Wedding.

From the moment we first spoke with Marcella, and Lorraine, we knew we were in the safest hands. Planning a wedding in Spain from afar can feel overwhelming, but they have made the entire journey feel effortless, exciting, and completely under control. Marcella’s warmth, professionalism, and attentiveness has given us total confidence from day one.

Throughout this journey Marcella has listened carefully, offered thoughtful guidance, and provided responses to any questions personalised to our vision, truly offering a 1-1 service, even with having booked our wedding 2 years in advance. Her supplier recommendations and wider team have been exceptional, and good value for money.

What stands out most is how much she genuinely cares. We never feel like just another booking in her diary. She is invested, thoughtful, and always one step ahead. The communication from her and the team has been consistent, clear, and reassuring throughout.

If the planning process is anything to go by, we already know our wedding day in Spain is going to be everything we’ve dreamed of and more. We feel so lucky to have Marcella and her team guiding us on this journey, and we cannot wait to see everything come to life.

We would wholeheartedly recommend using ‘Your Dream Wedding’ to anyone considering a destination wedding in Spain, we already know we made the best decision.

Dream Team doesn’t even begin to cover it!
Marcella and her incredible team are currently helping us plan our wedding for September 2026, and honestly, the whole experience has been completely stress-free so far. From day one, Marcella has brought such a calm, organised, and reassuring energy to everything she does, and I have no doubt that this will continue right through to the big day.
Throughout this journey, she has been nothing short of amazing—always so accommodating, quick to respond, and incredibly thoughtful with her guidance. No question is ever too much, no detail overlooked. Her level of service is truly 10/10, and you can tell she genuinely cares about making your day as perfect as possible.
Marcella is always one step ahead, anticipating things before we’ve even thought of them, which makes the whole process feel effortless and exciting rather than overwhelming. It’s such a comfort knowing we’re in such capable hands.
We feel so lucky to have chosen Casa Santonja and to have Marcella and her team guiding us every step of the way. If everything so far is anything to go by, we already know our wedding day is going to be everything we’ve dreamed of—and more.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Your Dream Weddings enough.
Roll on our Essex wedding—let the countdown begin!
And a huge shoutout to Marcella for making it all happen ✨

Marcella and her Team have been an absolute dream to work with . The professionalism has been nothing short of exceptional. I could not recommend them more if you are considering your wedding in Spain! Absolutely beautiful people with a talent for what they do. Xx

We’re getting married this August and honestly, choosing Your Dream Wedding in Spain – Marcella & team has been one of the best decisions we’ve made.

We first came across them on Instagram. The stunning photos of Calpe and Casa Sontonja completely captured us — we just knew it was somewhere we wanted to get married. The settings were breathtaking, but it was clear that the magic behind those weddings was down to the team.

We met Marcella in Calpe in November 2024 and instantly knew she was the perfect wedding planner for us. She’s incredibly professional, refreshingly honest (no BS!), and you can tell her heart and soul go into every single wedding. She genuinely loves what she does, and that passion shines through in everything.

She’s already made the whole experience — not just the big day, but the entire lead-up to it — feel special, exciting, and completely stress-free.

Roll on August — we cannot wait! 💍✨

We’re getting married in July 2026, and one of the questions I get asked most is how stressful wedding planning has been — especially from other brides. Honestly, I can say it’s been the least stressful experience I could have hoped for.

The only parts I found slightly stressful were actually finding the right venue and Marcella and her team in the first place, and then, of course, finding a wedding dress! Aside from that, the whole process has been incredibly smooth. Marcella works with an established “team” of trusted vendors, which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding abroad. Trying to source suppliers yourself from another country would be extremely difficult, and it’s easy to feel like you might be overquoted as a non-Spanish couple. Having a curated network of professionals removes that worry completely.

The process itself has been really clear and well structured:
contact the venue → introduction to Marcella and the team → venue visit and tour → venue deposit → shared list of recommended vendors → direct contact with vendors → agree packages and pay deposits → tasting session early in the wedding year to finalise details → enjoy the wedding day.

We haven’t attended the tasting yet (that’s coming up in March), but I think one of the reasons the experience has felt so stress-free is knowing we’ll be able to finalise the remaining details during that visit. I’m sure it will be a busy couple of days in Dénia, but having everything brought together like that makes the process feel organised and manageable.

I also really like how the overall package has been designed to suit both Spanish and UK/Irish wedding expectations — especially things like drinks being included, which makes such a difference for guests and removes extra planning decisions.

Communication has been excellent throughout. Early conversations were easy and informal via WhatsApp, followed by regular and clear email communication as plans progressed. I’m confident that when we meet in person in March, we’ll be able to finalise the remaining details smoothly, and I have no doubt the team will continue to be helpful and accommodating.

The venue itself is exactly what we were looking for. Originally, we had planned to get married during a bank holiday or school holiday to make travel easier for guests, but we completely fell in love with the venue as soon as we saw it. It was so beautiful and felt so right for us that we decided to choose a mid-week date instead as we didn't want to go on the 2027/28 waiting list! — and it’s turned out to be absolutely the right decision. Our guests have been more than happy with it, and many are now turning the wedding into a full holiday, which has made the whole experience feel even more special and relaxed.

We’re really looking forward to the tasting in March and, most importantly, the big day in July!

We are so happy that we picked Marcella and her team to book our “Dream wedding in Spain”. Everything in terms of communication has been top class and we cannot wait for our big day in June. The team leave no stone unturned and the food tasting with El Poblets exceeded our expectations. Denia as a destination is amazing.

From the very beginning, we were warned that the final six months of wedding planning would be as stressful as moving house - but thanks to Marcella and her incredible team, that couldn’t be further from our experience.

With just over three months to go until our big day, we genuinely feel calm, excited, and completely supported. Every question we’ve had (and there have been plenty!) has been answered promptly and transparently. There have been no hidden surprises, no last-minute shocks - just clear guidance and thoughtful planning at every stage. That level of honesty and organisation has made all the difference.

Rather than feeling overwhelmed, we’ve actually been able to enjoy the process. Planning our wedding has become part of the experience itself, something we’ll look back on fondly instead of with stress.

Marcella has been so accommodating, arranging for us to visit the venue twice already, with another trip planned next month to meet our lovely suppliers in person and enjoy our menu tasting. Every step feels carefully considered and beautifully coordinated.

Whoever said planning a destination wedding was hard clearly hasn’t worked with Marcella. We feel incredibly lucky to have her by our side and can’t wait for the big day, knowing everything is in the safest hands.

We are currently planning our wedding with Marcella and her team and our experience has been incredible!

From the very first time we met Marcella, Rachel and Lorraine we knew that we were in safe hands. They took the time to show us around two venues and explained everything so clearly which made the decision process so much easier for us.

Marcella is always so helpful and responsive, as are all of those in the team that she works with - we’ve had an amazing experience planning with all.

We’re so excited to see Marcella and the team again for our tasting soon and can’t wait for the remainder of the planning process!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Marcella as my wedding planner, and I can't express how grateful I am for her expertise and dedication. After visiting the venue, I was even more impressed with how well she understands my vision and style.

From the moment we started planning, Marcella was attentive and listened carefully to my ideas. She has an incredible eye for detail, which was evident during our venue tour. She pointed out various aspects that could enhance the decor and flow of the event, making suggestions that I hadn’t even considered.

Her organizational skills shone through as she walked through the logistics of the day, discussing everything from the layout to the timing of events. It was clear she had thought about every detail, which eased my mind significantly.

Marcella’s passion for her work is contagious, and her calm demeanor made the planning process enjoyable rather than stressful. I left the venue feeling excited and confident that my wedding day would be a beautiful reflection of my vision, thanks to her guidance.

If you're looking for a wedding planner who is not only professional but also truly cares about making your day special, I highly recommend Marcella!

Our wedding band GATECRASH has collaborated with Marcella on Spanish-Irish destination weddings for more than 15 years. We highly recommend her services! She is a consummate professional who consistently delivers seamless, highly organized events. From a vendor's perspective, Marcella is an absolute joy to work with; her attention to detail ensures we never encounter logistical hiccups on the day, which makes the entire experience a pleasure for the band. Over the years, we have truly blossomed as a group while looking after hundreds of her brides and grooms. We are incredibly grateful for this long-standing relationship and for the fact that Marcella has always highly recommended us to her clients. We make a brilliant team!

We are currently on the countdown to our 2026 wedding and Marcella and her team have been nothing but a joy to work with. From the first call with Marcella, to meeting her in person and to regular contact throughout the process we immediately felt calm, secure and excited about the entire process. Planning weddings can be very overwhelming and the minute we starting working with Marcella the cloud was lifted and everything started to slot into place! She is so responsive, goes above and beyond with every response and really does everything she can to give you all of the options for your day! Her list of supplier is extensive and packed with really good reliable suppliers. We haven't had the wedding yet but given how smooth sailing everything has been up to now we really cannot wait for the big day! I have two friends who also had Marcella and her team as their planners and they had nothing but amazing words to say, they reassured me that with the team there on the wedding day you really get to enjoy every moment without a care in the world. Thank you so much to Marcella and the team for everything so far

Marcella and her team were so warm and welcoming from day 1 and when we flew to Spain to see the venue and have what felt like a mini wedding fair to meet all the suppliers the excitement kicked in to be married in such a beautiful venue.
The planning was made easy with the team, the catering was amazing - we got so many compliments. Every step and every detail was just as we wanted and we could not have asked for a better day. Marcella and Lorraine's coordination on the day, their professionalism and rapport with the guests did not go unnoticed and we are truly grateful.
Lots of love,
the Kinsellas

If I had 50 stars id give them all. Anyone thinking of getting married outside of Ireland really needs to consider Marcella and her fantastic team.
Marcellas attention to detail is second to none. Shes calm, positive and a ray of sunshine to be around and from the very first meeting with her I knew there was noone else id rather have planning our wedding. Herself, Lorraine and Rachel are an amazing trio and care and love for every bride and groom is to be admired. From the second you meet to the last interaction on the dance floor the day of your wedding you are more than looked after. Nothing is ever to much to ask for. Not just the bride and groom is looked after the day of the wedding, every single guest is taken care of and loved just as much as us. The team Marcella has built up over the years is phenomenal. From florists, to photographers and everything in between she has it all covered and even without ever having to meet any of these people in person while you are selecting who you want its like being part of one big family and im the luckiest woman to have had my special day surrounded by them all. If spain is ths destination for your wedding I would encourage everyone to speak with Marcella, its the best decision ive ever made

Hiiii Marcella ❤️

We just got all our wedding photos and oh my god… we have no words! They’re absolutely beautiful - such a special reminder of the most magical day. The Senchermes team did an incredible job, and looking through the photos instantly took us right back to that moment.

And when we saw you in the pictures, we realized we never actually sent you a proper thank you for everything you did! None of this would have been possible without you and Loraine. And of course all the rest of your team - everyone’s professionalism and kindness went far beyond anything we could have imagined.

But most importantly, we just want to thank YOU ❤️ From the very first moment we met, we knew we could completely count on you and Loraine. You made us feel so taken care of, and we always knew we were in the best hands. We feel so lucky to have found you, and we’ll be forever grateful for all the love, effort, and energy you put into making our wedding the best day of our lives (and our guests’ too!).

Sending you the biggest hug ❤️

Our review from the most perfect day that we could have imagined and we would do it all over again with the exact same team 🥰🥰
Hi Marcella, I am writing this as we fly home after an amazing two weeks. Our wedding day was the most perfect day we ever could have imagined! Our two boys and all the kids would also agree I'm sure as they had the time of their lives. All of our family and friends were blown away and have raved about the entire day from the minute the bus pulled up to Casa Santonja. This venue had our hearts the minute we seen Anna's portfolio at the RDS bridal show and we knew right away this is where we were getting married. Absolutely stunning!!

The venue needed very little decoration but Steffi you were a dream to work with and created the exact colour vision when it came to the flowers i had dreamed of thank you so much.

Father Juan performed the ceremony with such humour and we both felt so comfortable with him, everyone is still talking about him.
Lorraine and yourself were just amazing making sure we were all looked after in the morning and when the grooms party arrived. When my mam had a dress malfunction Lorraine was all over it and made sure she helped any way she could, I will be forever grateful for this.
Myself and my bridesmaids and the two mam's would all agree that the hair and beauty team Raquel and Jo were just amazing we had so much fun with them thank you so so much ladies you done an amazing job from the most flawless skin to big hair don't care 🤩🙌🏻.

The service we received from Elpoblets was absolutely out of this world, all the staff were amazing, big shout-out to Johnny who was one of our waiters at the top table he was at our beck and call and looked after us so so well whenever we needed anything and Ivan who went above and beyond from the day we met him at the food tasting, he dropped us to the train station in the lashings of rain, such kindness, you are truly a gent! While wondering around getting photos he followed us around making sure we got to have some canapés which were delicious! The food itself is something the guests are still talking about, it was incredible!
The bar staff and night staff in general were brilliant and kept everyone hydrated 👍🏻. Vanessa and Finn were never far away and handled everything with ease and made sure the night went smoothly.
Special thanks to Jimena who was such a breeze to communicate with thank you from the bottom of my heart you made sure every need and want was taken care of.

Osanna and DJ Cam just wow!! You both filled our day and night with such good vibes and everybody raved about how the music just kept the energy up and got everyone in such good dancing spirits with a mix for everyone. The dancefloor was never empty and that is what we wanted so thank you for entertaining everyone!
The big hit was the photo booth everyone loved and had so much fun, Ricardo was lots of fun and all the guests were able to have the craic with him thank you so much!
Yumiesbakes done an incredible job on the cake and our sweet treats table they did not go to waste.
Joey and her garden games were the best idea ever, as the kids never stopped from the moment they arrived, playing and running around loving life. Thank you for being a part of our day!
Remi and team, you supplied us in the afternoon with a delicious lunch and the food truck later in the night was the best idea, even though some people were still quite full from dinner it was the highlight of the party everything was unbelievably tasty 😋. Thank you for looking after everyone.

The perfect dream team Senchermés and Reellove wedding content creators. Where do I start! Raul and Alejandro, you were both brilliant at your job and throughout the day made us feel very comfortable and relaxed while capturing the perfect shots, we cannot wait to see what you have captured it will be nothing less than amazing I'm sure!
Amy and Olivia you stole our hearts and you blended into our day seamlessly myself and Jason are over the moon with what you have created so far and the shots you got of all our guests and of us and our lovely boys. You both were so kind and considerate to Mason when he got overwhelmed we will never forget that, he warmed up and came around after awhile. Thank you both teams for being so patient and doing your job to perfection even in the chaos of getting ready and down that aisle. ❤️

Marcella you really know what you are doing and from the moment we met and started communicating it was like speaking with an auntie. So friendly so caring and filled with amazing knowledge and experience. I enjoyed this whole wedding planning experience because of you and your oh so detailed emails filled with the most helpful information and detail a bride could ask for. It was only close to the date that I started texting you on a more regular basis as I felt like you had enough on your plate with all the other weddings this year but never felt lacking in information, this shows how genuinely amazing you are at your job! Thank you, to you and your entire team (I hope I haven't forgotten anyone) as everyone was a dream to work with!

We will remember this day 14.08.2025 forever and always.

Much love to you Marcella and all for being a part of our day.

Natasha and Jason with our boys Mason and Harvey 🥰 xxx

From start to finish, our wedding at Casa Santonja was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is breathtaking, with its stunning architecture and serene surroundings creating the perfect backdrop for our special day.
A huge thank you to Marcella, our incredible wedding coordinator, who made everything seamless. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and warm personality ensured that every moment was stress-free and beautifully organized.
The entertainment was phenomenal thanks to Gatecrash & DJ Cam, who kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Their music selection was spot-on and created an unforgettable atmosphere for us and our guests.
We were also thrilled with Ricardo, who captured every precious moment on video with creativity and elegance. Watching the footage feels like reliving the day all over again! And of course, Schillings Photography delivered stunning photos that we will treasure forever—every shot was full of emotion and artistry.
For the culinary experience, El Poblets provided an exceptional main meal and appetizers that were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests were blown away by the quality and flavors—it was a true fine dining experience that elevated the entire celebration. In addition, Kriss & Remmy’s food truck was a huge hit! Their unique and flavorful dishes added a fun, relaxed touch that everyone loved.
We couldn’t have asked for a better team to bring our dream wedding to life. Every single person involved went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication. If you’re planning a wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend Casa Santonja and this amazing group of professionals—they truly made our day unforgettable!

Hi Marcella,

A Huge Thank You ❤️

We hope you’re all keeping well!

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since our big day, but we just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you.

We truly had the best day of our lives. Our feet were sore from all the dancing, our bellies were full of the most delicious food, and our glasses were never empty!

We couldn’t have dreamed of a more fabulous day — everything was absolute perfection. We’re so excited to get the photos and video back and relive it all again. ❤️

Please do pass on our thanks to all of your amazing team — we’re so grateful for all the hard work that went into making the day so special.

Lots of love,

🤍

The day was absolutely perfect! From the first email exchange, followed by meeting Marcella in Dublin and visiting in Spain we just knew the team were the ones we needed for our wedding.
The day was more magical than we could imagine! Our guests were absolutely blown away. They have said they have never seen anything like it.
There was zero stress on the day! The morning went so beautifully, massive thanks to your dream wedding in Spain for keeping all the girls happy. Couldn’t ask for any better!
They are absolutely magical in every way

Marcella & her whole team are simply incredible! We were heartbroken when we sadly had to postpone from last year, but marcella made everything so easy and stress free (unlike some other stories I've heard from other brides ????). Everything was just easily transferred over to this year, with all of our suppliers still free for us on our new date, thank god!

Everything leading up to and on the day was perfect. From selecting the table details, to tasing the food & wine, to every single detail on the day itself. Amazing.

Let's start with the venue Marcella found for us - UNREAL. Pretty much every single guest said that it was like a wedding you?d only see in the movies, the sort of place you?d only see celebrities get married. They were all ?wow?ed? as much as we were as they came down the driveway ????

Rachel & Loraine - AMAZING! They made everything worry free. Rachel was on hand as soon as we arrived and ready to take everything off me to set it all up. Loraine even watched our baby boy for me while he napped during the speeches, which I will always be so grateful for as it meant that no one missed that big part of the day. I found out a few days later that she turned 60 at midnight during the party! I wish I?d had known as I would have loved for us all to be able to sing happy birthday to her! Please pass on my thanks to them both for being so so lovely, helpful and just plain incredible at their job. Everyone has commented on how lovely and fun all three of you were & we both felt like celebrities because of these three ????

Heidi & her team - the flowers were beautiful. The decor round the chapel at the end of the aisle were STUNNING. Everything was so so pretty, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Rebecca - literally THE BEST makeup artist I have ever come across. The only makeup artist who has ever done my makeup and I hadn't felt the need to sneak off and make some changes ???? the bridesmaids all said the same.

Debbie - incredible! She actually convinced me to try my hair up, as I turned up at my trial quite sure I would have it down - and I'm so glad she did! My hair looked amazing and was way better than I imagined it would be. Thanks to both Rebecca & Debbie all of us looked amazing and so beautiful (if I do say so myself ????). Seriously, since I?d had a baby only 9 months before I hadn't felt quite like myself since (????) I wasn't sure how I?d feel on the day but they both made me look and feel incredible and I'll be forever grateful for that. They?re also both such lovely friendly girls and I'm so glad I met them both. I wish I could have them do my hair and makeup every day!

Anna, Ricardo & their teams - Both me and Dave are awkward in front of a camera and wasn't sure how we?d feel with all eyes being on us on the day. However, we barely noticed they were there! There were a few quick group shots and a few of us together but the rest of the day was just natural shots of everyone having a great time, which is exactly what we wanted. I'm dying to see some of the photos and video footage! We actually only have 2 photos of the two of us together from the day from mobile phones, so I'm VERY excited to finally see and share some of Anna's photos when the time comes ????I'm so glad we used both Anna & Ricardo and their teams.

Lee was brilliant and made the ceremony both fun and emotional at the same time. He's very good at what he does and I felt like he was the perfect man for the job ????

Frank - pure entertainment! He was incredible. His chilled jazz music during the canapés was fab. He even surprised us by singing ?New York New York? and played a few little songs to get the party started. Everyone says that was their favourite part of the day, and I think it might be mine too ???? I'll never forget everyone just singing and dancing away on the terrace with the beautiful backdrop of the Casa. It's definitely one of my favourite memories from the day.

El Poblets - it goes without saying they are 5 star pure excellence. Unbelievable. Not just the food, the drinks, the service - all outstanding. Even with the hiccup with our starters I couldn't fault them. Every single staff member had a smile on their face and seemed genuinely happy to be there.

Darrell - brilliant! The party was insane. Everyone had such a great time and the garage hour was amazing! I could have stayed and partied for hours, which is not something I?d usually say ????

Pedro/Peter Funk - I have no words! I totally forgot I?d booked him so when he came out and played it was the best surprise ever! I think he really gave the party the wow factor and everyone said how they?d never seen anything like that before. I could have listened to him play all night.

And finally Marcella, she is amazing at what she does. Since I met her I've never had a single doubt that she was the right woman for the job. We had a wedding that most people could only dream about thanks to Marcella and her Incredible team. I never could have imagined we?d ever get such a perfect fairytale wedding. I wouldn't have changed a single thing for the world. I'm so glad I found her on Instagram back in 2019 and even though we had to wait a little longer than planned, it was worth it. BEST WEDDING EVER (majority of the guests said that too!) all thanks to marcella, our wedding fairy god mother! I can't thank her and every single person on the team enough. I want to do it all again! And if & when we do, I'll be coming back to Your Dream Wedding in Spain!

Lots of love & thanks again for being the best!

Our wedding hasn't even happened yet!!! It's September 2020 but already Marcella has been amazing and are so excited for our actual wedding day! Marcella was fabulous when we met her and made us feel so relaxed and was so honest with us that it made our mind up straight away on the type of wedding we were after. I honestly would be so nervous getting married if I didn't have her!! Any questions are answered straight away and she always makes you feel at ease! Roll on our wedding day! Xx

What an amazing lady Marcella is. We used her services to organise my step-daughter's wedding in Spain in 2013. We are now using her to organise my own daughter's wedding next June. She takes all the worry and stress out of planning the big day, leaving you to just enjoy. I can't sing her praises enough.

Amazing wedding planner and organisation second to none, so lovely to work with in the prep for our wedding! We have the best memories from the whole experience and can wholeheartedly recommend Marcella and team to anyone considering them!

I work along side Marcella and her team and she is undoubtably one of the most hard-working, dedicated organised wedding planners I have ever met. She makes everyone's experience unique and personable to them and nothing is too much trouble . The costa Blanca is lucky to have someone so talented arranging the most stunning weddings

I could not rate Marcella and her team more highly. We got married in 2015 and she went above and beyond to make our wedding in Valencia everything we could have asked for. From sorting out every aspect of the legalisation of the wedding, reaching out to the Church and arranging for us to share the flowers inside the Church with a wedding that was happening later that day (saving us a small fortune), organising the drinks the night before, travelling to the City centre for the weekend (to name but a few), she was incredible. The day / weekend couldn't have run more smoothly. It truly was the best day of our lives and we are so so grateful to Marcella for making that happen! She works with an incredible team and she's so professional and friendly. She's makes the impossible, possible and is incredibly responsive. I couldn't rate her more highly! Please choose dream weddings in Spain if you?re planning a wedding in Costa Blanca ????

We got married in Spain in 2015. Marcella made our day the most amazing wedding day ever!!! We could always discuss everything with her and she would like into the options. Also she had the most amazing contacts and they all work together so well. People still talk about our wedding up to this day and we are so gratefull that Marcella has made this possible for us.

I could not recommend Marcella enough to any couple. She is the best she will give you and your guests the most amazing day of your lives. Her and her team are all amazing from cakes to flowers, hair and make up, music, venues, photographers and videographers. Our day was absolutely perfect!

We live overseas, and decided we didn't want to marry in our home country Holland, but in Spain. To keep it an intimate affair. We met with a couple of wedding planners, but Marcella stood out from the eginning.

Without her knowledge of amazing locations, great suppliers, caterer and more, we would not have been able to have such a great day. Everything was arranged from start to finish, and we didn't have to worry about anything. Marcella took care ofit all!

Thanks Marcella. We?d choose you over and over again to organize our wedding day! Thanks for making it so special for us and our guests!

Attended a nieces wedding organised by Marcella and team. It was absolutely amazing and one of the best weddings I've ever been to!

Marcella was amazing from.the moment we made contact til the last detail of the wedding was over the line. She just made everything so easy and the was one that my friends and family still talk about.
Her team are amazing..choices of venues...and knowledge of what we would want and need for a destination wedding.

From the initial email to day after our wedding & beyond , Marcella & her team provided the highest consistent wedding package that is still being spoken about to this day (8yrs on ) memories of a life time were created for all our guests & it wouldn't have happened without this lady . She listens to her clients as individuals, then the magic happens & guaranteed a day to remember forever . Thank you Marcella & team .
I wish I could do it all over again ;)
Linda & Jason

"Hi Marcella, just wanted to leave you a quick message on behalf of myself and Kieran, Thank you so so much for the most perfect and relaxed wedding day! It could not have been done without you and your team, you are always a pleasure to deal with and we will never forget your attention to detail which made it all the more special for us both! Thank you for everything, we couldn't be happier to have planned our wedding through you and your team!

Thank you very much for your wonderful class in Denia (La Glorieta).

Our wedding was in the beautiful Costa Blanca Region in a little town called Altea. We had the most fantastic day that i have dreamed about for a long time and i just want to share it with you all.

We arrived in Alicante airport on Friday 23rd Sept. All our family and friends were coming on the Sunday/Monday so it was just us and 1 of my aunts and uncles. I was so excited. After having a manic week at home of ironing shirts/collecting dresses/packing it was so exciting to be eventually on the plane with my hubby to be! When we first arrived it was raining - I couldn't believe it. Obviously me being pessimistic feared the worst but it was only spits and the weather right up and including our special day was just bliss. Blue skies and temperatures soaring near 30 every day. We soon settled in to sun, sea and bliss. We were staying in the town of Calpe just 15 mins away from Altea town. The reason for this was that it was just a bit livelier for our wild guests!! Calpe is beautiful but a lot more built up with a gorgeous beach/shops/restaurant and also includes a beautiful old town.

We met up with our wedding planner Marcella on the Saturday. She excited us even more. We were sitting in the gorgeous Sol Y Mar hotel in Calpe looking out over the beach having a chilled out drink. Marcella calmly went through the whole process of the day from start to finish. She couldn't have made me any calmer. I am a total stress ball so it takes someone to make me this relaxed! She went through from when the hairdresser and beautician arriving to my room the morning of the wedding, to the flowers, timings of bus etc. At this stage of it everything was arranged anyway as I had been in constant contact with Marcella and she had all the best suppliers so it was just a few last minute preps at this stage. She stood us up and made us practice our vows - it was so lovely and made it all feel so real. Any questions I had she had the answer at the tip of her tongue - of course she has probably heard everything 1000 times before! There was no stone she left unturned. She also went through the exact routine of the ceremony and we went to the hotel were we were having the reception to go through our table plans etc and iron all little details out. That evening myself and hubby to be were relieved that all was in order.

For the next few days we just relaxed by the gorgeous pool at the hotel and greeted all our guests that arrived. All our guests apart from a few stayed in the Sol Y Mar Calpe with a lot staying in their apartments. My guests could not get over the apartments. They were huge and so so modern. Everyone was delighted and no bad reports at all. Of course I had all these really nice cocktail bars and restaurants picked out in the town, but to my despair, there was an Irish pub right beside the hotel and this is where my party pretty much retired for the whole week!! I didn't mind at all though as the atmosphere was just great. The barmen went to so many lengths for us putting banners up the day before and day after the wedding. They were delighted just to get the business. I have to admit in the day or 2 before the wedding I did, through my own fault, get fairly stressed and emotional. When I look back now I am not sure why or what about, but I was a bride, and well I just wanted everything to be so perfect!

The night before the wedding we had a few sociable altogether in the Irish pub. Of course I was keeping to tradition and my Mum and Dad made sure I was out of there by midnight. It was great fun. My sister (bridesmaid) stayed with me that night. Didn't sleep a wink and woke up at one stage and thought it was lashing rain. But no, when we did get up it was a picture perfect day. I agreed with my hubby that I would be back in my room for 10.00 am as he as staying in the hotel too. So I went to breakfast with all my family. Then back to the room to start the preparations! The hairdresser and beautician arrived at the hotel shortly after. I was pacing the apartment while all the girls and mums got their bits done. Jo our hairdresser had brought extra girls with her for the guests to get their hairs done in a separate apartment - it was excellent to have this service that we had everything come to us in the hotel and didn't have to rush around to them! One of my best friends who were moving to Australia that day gave me a surprise phone call to wish me good luck and of course that set me off! But Marcella was up shortly after to give me a hug and calm me down in hand with a bottle of Cava! Yum! So after the girls and Mums were done my prep work started for hair and makeup. I felt like an age and didn't know quite how I would look after it was all completed but I have to say that I was gob smacked at the results they were able to achieve but for me, my bridesmaids and my Mum. My Mum wouldn't be used to all this treatment so she was delighted. My hair was exactly how I wanted and she added in extensions to give it that volume. I was delighted with my make up also - both of them did trials on before also.

In between all this commotion - Heidi the flower lady had arrived up with my flowers - which were absolutely gorgeous - every little detail was just amazing. Then the photographer arrived later and started picturing little details like my dress, the rings, my little flower girl etc. At about 2.45 I could hear this big bus taking off down on the street and had suddenly realized it was my hubby to be and all my guests taking off for the church! I was too busy thinking about myself!!! Marcella had planned to take them all up to the village where the church was, which was La Nucia in Altea Hills. Up there she had organized that the little pub across from the church was reserved for the guests to have a chilled out drink before the ceremony at 4pm! They loved it!! They also had little Spanish drummer boys playing while walking down the cobbled streets!

So I was all ready to go - it was a bit of a tight squeeze in the end for time and well my poor mum and bridesmaids got the brunt of it when they were trying to lace up my dress telling them to hurry up!! In the end I actually ended up being a bit early and the car had to wait up the hill before going in. I loved my car - I was unsure about whether to spend money on this but in the end went for the old Rolls Royce - it was everything I ever dreamed of and was so special going up with Daddy in it. The chauffer was the nicest man ever and made us feel so relaxed. The views were so amazing on the way up the mountain with the breeze in our hair. When we got to the church the little drummer boys kicked off again to let the guys in the church know I was there! I felt so special, this whole build up was for us!! My ma was there outside to give me a hug before going in. As I walked up the grand steps to the church I soaked it all in. Marcella was standing there to give me a hug and fix my dress as I had such a long trail and was all pleated so needed to sit just right. She guided the bridesmaids and us exactly when to walk. It just felt amazing - walking down with my dad to Songbird by Eva Cassidy sang by the gorgeous Sophie - again supplied by Marcella. When I got to the top I was just shaking. But he was just as nervous too. He put his arm round me and held my hand the whole time. I just couldn't believe our time was here. Lighting the candles was a bit of a disaster! I could not hold my hand still that my Dad had to come up and help me!! The music was just divine throughout and it was just so nice to hear all the songs we had chosen sang so beautifully. So we got hitched, had a big smooch and were so happy!! My favourite part was walking back down the aisle as the guests were blowing out bubbles and clapping. Then when were outside all celebrating Marcella let off these bangers and everyone was so excited!! It was great. We took a bunch of pics of course as the steps outside the church were just divine. Everyone ventured back to the pub for one in the meantime. We took off in the car before everyone to get some pics in Altea town. The photographers - Schillings Photography were the nicest couple ever. She kept telling me how beautiful I was and they were so easy with us. The great thing was that I didn't feel that hot in my dress at all and we had to climb some hills!! We then ventured up the Villa Gadea were everyone was waiting for us. They were enjoying the cocktail reception outside when we were introduced. Everyone kept saying to us how they could not get over how beautiful the place was. It was superb - looking out over the Sea with the gorgeous gardens of the hotel. Everything I could have wished for. That was when I was glad that we stayed somewhere else from where we were having the reception from as it leaves an element of surprise there.

Around 7.30 pm we sat down for our meal. Everyone enjoyed and the wine was flowing. We then had the speeches after which was great fun. Then the party began. The DJ came on first so we could do our first dance. We danced to "It Feel Like Home to Me" from the Notebook and My Sisters Keeper. It was amazing and Marcella let off steamers and smoke. Everyone else joined in for a few more slow ones and then the Band started - Stickland plus an Irish girl called Niamh. They were just fantastic - they even played Irish songs, such as Irish Rover, Galway girl. The craic was just flowing - i even produced some Irish dancing!

At 12pm we had to move in doors to the banquet room although we would have just loved to have stayed outside but rules are rules. The DJ started and we danced and laughed to the wee hours. We did the whole removal of garter, cutting of cake and throwing of bouquet. Marcella knew when to call for everything. DJ Darrell was great, he played all requests and kept the party upbeat although many were smokers and sat outside!

Eventually at 3am we started to dwindle. Myself and my new hubby were staying in the Villa Gadea and everyone else was going back to Calpe.It was lovely to have the honeymoon suite there. Marcella had the room organized lovely with my bouquets on the bed with flower petals everywhere. We had strawberries and chocolate (yum) and Cava and had our own Jacuzzi outside. It was bliss.

So that was my experience in a nutshell! I really had the most amazing day. Without our wedding planner Marcella we could not have done it. But she and her suppliers could not have made it any easier for us. For any of you picturing and wishing for a dream wedding in Spain I would urge you all to follow your dream as I got everything out of my day that I ever wanted. The only regret I have is that I stressed for no reason at all! So just relax and enjoy it all. Marcella if you are reading this thank you so much for being such a wonderful person and listening to me for the last year to ensure my day went perfect. xx

Hi Marcella ,
Myself and Alan just wanted to say once again how delighted we were with how you looked after our wedding for us.
From the very first day we met you we knew our wedding was in safe hands. You and your team are so professional and so efficient.
Everybody kept commenting on how calm I was on the day!! I was so relaxed because I knew everything was taken care of and all I had to worry about was enjoying myself.
We had 107 guests over with us and they all had a fantastic time. They loved the Villa gadea hotel. It is such a gorgeous hotel in such a lovely location.
My favourite was the church in La Nucia. When we look at our photographs we have to pinch ourselves because it is so fabulous.
It was an absolute fairytale wedding.
Maria and Joe were brilliant. I loved my hair and make up. My mam looked fab aswell and she was so delighted to be made a fuss off. My two bridesmaids looked stunning aswell. Our flowers were perfect. Heidi listened to everything I said..right down to the little jewels in my bouquet. The room looked so lovely with the centrpieces. Vanessa did a fantastic job with the cake. Again she did exactly what we asked for and it was fab!!!
What can I say about Lesley. She was brilliant. She was with us all day and she was such a pleasure. We love the photographs and cant want to see our album all done. She was such a pleasure. She never intruded but got all the shots that we asked for. She was so lovely with my mam and the bridesmaids. I had such a lovely time getting ready that morning. Ricardo aswell.. he just seemed to melt into the background. Cant wait to see the DVD.

Fr. John is such a sweetheart. The ceremony was lovely. It was so relaxed. When we look through our photos we can see him smiling away.

Of course yourself!! We just cant say enough. Our guests were all talking about you!! They were telling me about you given them the tour on the way up to the church in the coach. It made our wedding so personal. You had everything organised to a tee. Again you were never intrusive but got our guests were they needed to be.

A very sincere thank you to you for honestly making our day so special.

Our guests loved the drummer boy on the way to the church. The little bar at the church aswell was great. Everyone loved all the fireworks. All the little touches made the whole day so special.

Would you believe very few of our guests had never been to a wedding in spain and they werent sure what to expect. Well they are all converted now and they could not beleive how brilliant it was. In fact a few of our friends are re-thinking their own wedding plans. We loved the fact that we could provide a free bar for all those who travelled over.

For anybody considering going to Spain to get married I would so go for it. It was a truly magical week. I would howver make sure to choose Marcella and her team beacuse I can honestly say they are brilliant!!

It is an absolute pleasure to deal with Marcella. We never felt like we were 'just' another wedding. We were made to feel special and it was like our wedding was the only one in the world. Even though I know for a fact Marcella is so busy.
Once again Marcella myself and alan want to say a huge thank you for everything.
Miriam & Alan. 16th June 2009

Hi Marcella,

Hope things have dyed down for you a bit..

Now we are settled back into things back here, seems like it was all a long time ago.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your hard work in the lead up and on the actual day, you were fantastic. You made it a very special and unforgettable for both of us, and for everyone else... People are still talking about it now, saying how it was a fairytale wedding and one of the best weddings they have been too...

It really was a great day... You did so much and it showed!!!!

Thank you so much

Marcella, Marie & I have just watched our dvd's and
we're absolutely ecstatic over them, they really are
superb! Please thank Ricardo for doing such a
fantastic job! We'd both just like to thank you & all your team, our wedding was absolutely perfect and that's due to the efforts of all involved. We really couldn't have asked for anything else! Not to pick favourites from your team but Lesley was absolutely brilliant & we just can't thank her enough for the album & photos, they are just unbelievable. Hope you & your family are keeping well & best wishes for the future. Kindest Regards

Hi Marcella, I feel so bad that I haven't been in touch for ages. Things have just been absolutely hectic here from the minute we got back from honeymoon. I'm up and running in the business. I'm absolutely loving being self-employed but you really don't have a minute for yourself!! Anyway, enough of me making excuses.
Marcella, we had a really really fantastic time in Spain and I cannot thank you enough for everything. Everything on the day from the scenery on the way to the Church to the Church itself; the string quartet to the fire-works was absolutely perfect and we could not have asked for a better day.
Our honeymoon was just brilliant, Maurititus in particular. So, we're an old married couple now and we're very, very, very happy!
