Synonymous with parties, adventures and year round weather, Ibiza is also a fantastic location for that special day.
The vast range of services that are catered specifically for luxury weddings and ceremonies supply any couple with a lifelong memory.
Marriage Legalities
It is important to understand the legalities of getting married in Ibiza before booking in your event. Although it is relatively straight forward, there are some requirements for both hetero and same sex couples. To legally marry in Ibiza, the bride or groom is required to be a follower of the catholic faith or a resident. If neither party meets this requirement, then they will need to conduct a separate home country civil ceremony.
If as a couple you decide to have a legally binding ceremony, then you will need to contact the priest where you are resident of. They will liaise with the local catholic priest and relevant authorities. Please note that this doesn’t apply to marriage celebrants.
The next step is to book in for a required course called the ‘Preparation for Marriage’. All couples that are looking for a legally binding marriage on the island, will need to attend, and complete the relevant documentation for a marriage licence.
Civil Ceremony
If you do not meet the requirements for a legally binding marriage (not a resident or catholic), then you will be able to have a straight wedding ceremony in Ibiza upon completion of your civil ceremony in your home country. Many couples choose this option as it also allows them to decide on whether to have the marriage ceremony on the beach or a religious venue (not catholic). The Anglican Church and a number of other protestant churches are located on the island. For information please visit www.ibizachurch.com
Considerably popular, the location wedding can provide the couple with the flexibility choose their vows and master of ceremony. Please note that the government does require one form of identification if you are holding such an event. This comes in the form of the civil marriage certificate.
Same Sex Couples
Same sex couples are provided with the same marriage rights under new legislation passed by the Spanish parliament. The process is similar to other weddings however the ceremony may not be conducted in a church.
Renewing Vows
For couples that wish to renew their marriage vows, there are catholic and non-catholic options on the island. It is recommended that you contact the local authorities in Ibiza for further details.
