Increasingly in demand are weddings in Formentera or Ibiza, with more and more couples dreaming of getting married in front of a breathtaking view.
But is it easy to do so? Let’s find out together what the key aspects are.
BUROCRACY
Let’s start with the bureaucratic aspect: there could be 2 ways.
- The first, perhaps the most insidious, is to marry at the Spanish community and then convert the marriage act to make it valid in Italy. In this case there is a lot of paperwork and paperwork to be completed as well as a sum to be paid.
- The second way, the one adopted by most couples, involves having acivil union in Italy before leaving and then performing a ceremony on the island.
In this case one can decide whether to perform a symbolic ceremony on the beach or a religious one in a church.
Should one choose to proceed with the religious ceremony , it will be necessary to get in touch with the pastor of the church to agree on the date and who will only have to wait for the documents that will reach him from the Curia of Ibiza.
At the same time you will need to communicate your decision to your pastor who will have to fill out a document to send to the curia in ibiza by registered mail.
At this point, the Curia of Ibiza will contact the priest in Formentera or Ibiza and provide him with the necessary documents to perform the service regularly.
As for the ceremony at the beach, it is a somewhat delicate issue. Having an intimate beach wedding in the middle of the season is quite impossible given the crowds. In addition, private events are not allowed on the beaches without special permission, as well as loud music. So there are two alternatives: one can consider reserving a restaurant on the beach with an event license; or opt for the off-season months and perform a small ceremony with a few guests on the beach, always respecting local laws and the environment.
LOCATION
But now to the good stuff! How to choose the perfect location?
On these islands you can find from the most romantic restaurants by the sea to private villas with fabulous sunsets.
We have been exploring some of these locations that are different in their genre and style.
Let’s start from ibiza, from an exclusive location from which to enjoy a postcard-perfect sunset. We are talking about 7pines newly built luxury resort in the vicinity of Cala Bassa Beach nestled in a pine forest on top of a cliff surrounded by crystal clear waters. This hotel adopts environmentally sustainable practices, there is also a private airport transfer service, health and wellness services as well as a top-notch culinary offering.
There is a choice of different terraces and spaces in which to hold symbolic rite, aperitif, dinner and party.
Completely different in genre, however, is paissa den bernat. A private, intimate villa perfect for a wedding of a few guests, surrounded by nature, in classic Ibizan style. Infinity pool overlooking the sea, 5 bedrooms and beautiful terraces in which to celebrate in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape.
As a third location we tell you about atzaro, a location that differs in its Balinese style and in the services offered. The estate spans thirteen hectares with extensive manicured gardens, restaurants, spas, swimming pools, courtyards, terraces, pavilions, vegetable gardens, and bedrooms. One is spoiled for choice in deciding which spaces are best for celebrating weddings at this location, impossible to resist the charm of the spaces and furnishings from Indonesia.
Let’s move to Formentera and talk about the Bocasalina restaurant in Es Pujols a unique location directly on the sea with a professional staff and Italian-Spanish gourmet cuisine. If you decide to get married here you will have the option of reserving the entire restaurant in case your guests should be numerous or only one wing of the restaurant in case of a few guests.
