In some cases you may also need your Confirmation Certificates, but this is rare. It takes about 4 months and we will guide you through the whole process.

How do we decide on the Venue?: We ask you to be as specific as possible on the type of venue you would like. We then send you information corresponding to this type of place and you select a number of these.
Then we agree on a date for you to come for a viewing, We also take you to see churches and photographers, taking complete advantage of the limited time you have. It is always best to arrive on a Friday morning and leave on Sunday.
Can I contact others who have been married through Catalan Wedding?: We are happy to provide you with contact details of couples who have been married through us. If you choose a particular venue, we will try and put you in touch with a couple who has already been married there.
Is it possible to have a mixed marriage through the Catholic Church in Spain?: If one of the partners is Catholic and the other partner has been baptized into another Christian church (Protestant, Baptist, Presbyterian etc), there is no problem. The non-Catholic will need to get permission in their country of residence to be married through the Catholic Church. If the future bride or groom is from a non-Christian faith it is also possible, but we will need to know details.
