Prices

Weddings are not cheap but don´t think that the more you spend the better the wedding. We´ll help you to focus your budget where it counts and we like everything to be crystal clear from the very start. Here you will find a list of the main suppliers and their prices who contribute their invaluable services to weddings here in Nerja. On each venue page you will find a link to a sample budget for that venue including suppliers, tax etc. This gives you an accurate timeline for the run of the day and the total cost for a typical wedding in that particular venue.

The three most important parts of the wedding day from your guests perspective are food, drinks and music. They also take up a large part of the budget so I´ve listed these first. All prices are in Euro.

Please contact me to assist you further with your personal budget. I will always endeavour to keep the prices as low as possible to make sure you get the best value for money. Most of the suppliers that I use are local and they both appreciate and rely on your business, as do I.

Wedding planner fee

Please contact me for information. My fee is all inclusive, there is no limit to the amount of meetings we have or hours I work. I do not charge for a meal for myself on the wedding day, nor do I rely on earning extra income from the suppliers or venues I recommend. I recommend the suppliers and the venues because of the quality of service they offer to you and to me and have been chosen from tried and tested experience. I use local suppliers, and I speak fluent Spanish, so you won´t have to travel far to see a, florist, baker or photographer and you will be able to meet the suppliers in their place of work in Nerja to discuss options and prices directly. You will make up my fee on the savings you get from the suppliers I recommend.
