Questions about the Ceremony?
Will my wedding be legally recognised back at home? All Catholic weddings are legally recognised throughout the world. The wedding is registered with the local Civil Registry office after the wedding. The wedding certificate will be sent out 4 – 6 weeks after the wedding. Once the Catholic wedding booking is confirmed, a list of all the required paperwork will be sent out. Blessings are not legally recognised and you will need to have a Civil Wedding either at home or in Gibraltar before the blessing. Do the priests speak English? Your wedding planner Nerja and wedding planners Nerja work with churches where the parish priest is English speaking. The ceremony will be predominantly in English. |

Is there communion at the ceremony?
In line with Spanish tradition, Catholic weddings are generally without communion. At some churches, the priest will include communion in the ceremony on request. Information on the rules at individual churches is available on the church pages. |
Who provides the Mass Booklets?
It is up to the individual couple to provide their own Mass Booklet. This can be arranged to have this printed in Spain or you can bring them with you. There are templates available for the ceremony, tailored to the requirements of the different churches. |
|
Music for the ceremony?
Most churches require the music to be religious or classical. Some priests are more relaxed when it comes to the music for the signing of the register and exit songs, but generally they need to be ‘suitable to be played in church’. For a blessing, the music is at the choice and the discretion of the couple. |
Is confetti allowed ?
Yes, in Spain you are allowed confetti both at churches and at blessing venues. Please note that confetti is not readily available in Spain (the Spanish throw rice – not to be encouraged in our opinion – it hurts!). It is suggested that you ask guests to bring it from home. |

Are blessings religious or non-religious?
This is completely up to the individual couple. Blessings can be personalised to suit the requirements of each couple. Your wedding planner Nerja works with different ministers to accommodate the ceremony that each couple desires for their special day. Is there a rehearsal? This varies from church to church and is specified on the churches page. |
Are decorations provided by the hotels?
All hotels provide standard table centres as part of their package. You can choose the colour of the centres, to match the colour scheme of the wedding, but not individual types of the flowers. Some couples do choose to change these centres to suit their individual choices. There are some examples of personsalised centres on the Table Centres page. |
|
Guests and menu choice on the day of the wedding?
Menus in Spain are set menus. At most venues you can give your guests a choice of a main course in advance (normally when the invitations are sent out) and when you send in the seating plan with the final numbers, 2 weeks before the wedding, you also indicate which guest is having which dish. |
Can we have the speeches before the meal?
Hotels in Spain are generally quite flexible about when you have the speeches, although most will not allow them between courses, as it makes the timing of the food challenging for the kitchen. Some hotels do put a time limit on the speeches if they are before the meal. |
|
What drinks are included with the package?
All hotels that your wedding planner Nerja work with include free flowing red and white wine, beer, soft drinks and water throughout the meal. A glass of cava for the toast is also included in the menu package. |
Do we need wedding favours?
Favours are often given as a thankyou from the Bride and Groom. These can be placed on the tables on request. |
