tourist-friendly country, but it helps to learn Spanish before travelling for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/09\/best-unique-locations-for-destination-weddings-and-elopements\/\">your destination wedding<\/a>. Not only will this make event coordination and honeymooning go more smoothly, but it will also give you access to hotels and venues that are much cheaper to book.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because non-tourist cities have few English speakers. On top of that, people feel more comfortable conversing in their native language. You\u2019ll get more done faster if you learn a few key phrases. You don\u2019t have to be fluent; you must communicate your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn Spanish in record time, you should converse with native-level speakers. To do this, you can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingoda.com\/en\/spanish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">join the Lingoda Spanish learning community<\/a>&nbsp;and take their online class a few times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Books, apps, and podcasts are other great ways to learn Spanish, but always find ways to converse with others. Otherwise, you may be too shy to speak <strong>Spanish before your wedding<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spain-destination-wedding-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"spain destination wedding\" class=\"wp-image-18279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spain-destination-wedding-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spain-destination-wedding-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spain-destination-wedding-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spain-destination-wedding-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/spain-destination-wedding.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Know_Your_Legal_Requirements\"><\/span>Step 2: Know Your Legal Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before planning, it\u2019s important to note the legal requirements of getting married in Spain. To match non-religiously, you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/01\/tips-for-planning-a-memorable-wedding-ceremony\/\">have a civil ceremony<\/a>. Religious couples will have to go through the local clergy, but as a non-Spain citizen, your marriage may not count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a symbolic and small civil ceremony at home is much cheaper. Depending on where you live, it could cost $120. If one of the parties is changing their name, they\u2019ll have to <strong>request a marriage license<\/strong> for identification, which typically costs $30 plus shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And you\u2019ll want to get married close to your hometown because it requires less documentation than in Spain. It\u2019s also much easier to get your marriage certificate or a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To legally marry in Spain, you\u2019ll need seven pieces of I.D. (which could get lost on the flight), pay \u20ac170 plus the certificate, and wait 30 days to 4 months for the paperwork to process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_26113\"  width=\"980\" height=\"551\"  data-origwidth=\"980\" data-origheight=\"551\"  data-relstop=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e0PifphZmls?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Brainstorm_Destinations_and_Venues\"><\/span>Step 3: Brainstorm Destinations and Venues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to recent data, the average cost of a luxury wedding starts at \u20ac25,000 (80-person), whereas a mid-priced wedding costs \u20ac15,000 for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/18\/expert-tips-on-preparing-a-dress-code-for-your-wedding-guests\/\">same number of guests<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the cost breakdown for different venues across Spain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All-inclusive Hotel Wedding Package:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u20ac160 per person<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>20-Person Villa Rental for 2 Nights:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u20ac6,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>60-Person Venue All Inclusive:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u20ac15,000-17,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>100-Person Venue All Inclusive:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u20ac20,000+<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The cheapest option is to invite only the most <strong>important people to your wedding<\/strong>. This way, you can rent a villa that can be used as a venue and hotel. Then, after you know how many guests you want and the type of venue you need, you can start looking at cheap wedding destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to stay cheap, stay away from Madrid. Malaga, Marbella, and Granada are inexpensive and incredibly beautiful. You can save thousands just by booking there.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/small-intimate-wedding-venues.jpeg\" alt=\"small intimate wedding venues\" class=\"wp-image-13866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/small-intimate-wedding-venues.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/small-intimate-wedding-venues-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Figure_Out_How_to_Get_There\"><\/span>Step 4: Figure Out How to Get There<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last significant expense (both time and money) you must worry about is flights. Again, the most inexpensive option is an all-inclusive hotel wedding package, as you and your guests will save a lot of time. It\u2019s also a good idea to go between November and March during the off-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, December and February are the cheapest months that still see a bit of sunshine. So you can still have a beach wedding without worrying about bad weather ruining your big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestforbride.com\/bridal-shop\/20\/discover-the-ultimate-romantic-getaways-for-your-dream-honeymoon\/\">bundling your honeymoon<\/a> and destination wedding, negotiating your wedding rates, and skipping out on shipping in decor. If you do all of these things, you\u2019ll save a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, hire a wedding planner and travel agent. It sounds like a significant expense, but you save more. A wedding planner can cut down on destination wedding mistakes, while a travel agent can ensure you and <strong>your wedding party<\/strong> don\u2019t pay more than necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_79169\"  width=\"980\" height=\"551\"  data-origwidth=\"980\" data-origheight=\"551\"  data-relstop=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lJ_EQ2djGnE?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Start_Planning_Your_Wedding_at_16_Months\"><\/span>Step 5: Start Planning Your Wedding at 16 Months<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the previous sections, you mainly brainstormed and figured out whether you could get married in Spain based on your budget.
