The question should be,
Can I legally get married in Lanzarote?
If you are a resident, then yes, you can.
If you are a visiting tourist, then no, you cannot. BUT
If you are dreaming of a beautiful wedding day in Lanzarote then we can make that happen.
There is a big difference between getting married legally and pledging lifelong promises on your perfectly planned Lanzarote Wedding Day.
Hi, I'm Sarah, The Lanzarote Celebrant.
I have lived on the island of Lanzarote for over 20 years, and I have been a wedding celebrant here since 2021.
I have conducted over 200 ceremonies here on this canarian paradise, so you can trust me when I say that you can "get married" here.
It's just a case of fully understanding the legalities and making a few adjustments in your mind.
Let me try to explain.
Some of my previous couples have chosen to exchange their legal vows at their local registry office before their Lanzarote wedding day.
Some have chosen to complete this formality after their Lanzarote wedding day.
Some had decided that being married in the eyes of law was not something that wanted or needed. They desired a commitment ceremony, a more spiritual service, one that didn't need permission or recognition from any governing body.
The weddings in Lanzarote differ massively.
I'll list a few of them and you can decide if any of them resonate with what you are wanting.
Intimate Elopement. Just the 2 of you on a beach at sunset. Or maybe with your children attending.
A private wedding blessing with 2 to 30 guests. This could take place at a private villa, on the Catamaran, or on a terrace of a restaurant overlooking the sea.
A bigger celebration with 30+ guests. You can choose from a selection of exclusive venues dotted all over the island, all with spectacular scenery. A bodega, a hilltop canarian finca, or a 5 star Hotel.
All of the above will require 1 thing, and that is an engaging, creative and an understanding Celebrant.
My passion is creating fabulous services that will have you laughing one minute and then wiping away a happy tear the next.
I enjoy getting to know you both and thinking up ways of how I can make your ceremony meaningful and unforgettable.
