Fun and laidback small wedding in a farmhouse near Barcelona
We found Peach Perfect online and decided to explore. Since we met Jill for our wedding in Spain, we knew we were doing it and dropped other vendors we were exploring. Jill was always very reachable over WhatsApp, email, or whatever communication we needed. Fast and deep responses. She got us the venue we described as our dream and made it happen, with all the vendors being absolutely amazing (florist, DJ, photographer, etc). She got us a restaurant for the rehearsal to do a private event, a barber place last minute for the boys. Everything we needed, she was there with high energy and professionalism. Thank you Jill, you captured our wishes and dreams and made them happen in our big day!
Benardo and Seana’s intimate wedding in Spain
Some couples want formal elegance. Bernardo and Seana Patricia wanted pure joy, laughter, and a party their sixty-plus guests would never forget. And that's exactly what they created at a rustic estate just outside Barcelona.
As the Spanish spring warmed the Catalonian countryside, this Canadian couple brought their closest family and friends to a hidden gem venue they had exclusively to themselves. With Jill, their wedding coordinator in Spain, coordinating every detail from vendor recommendations to last-minute requests, they experienced a big day that felt more like an extended celebration with friends than a traditional formal affair.
From their intimate ceremony in a medieval-style space with brick walls and wooden beams to a reception so lively that even Jill jumped onto the dance floor, every moment overflowed with genuine happiness.
The atmosphere stayed contagious throughout — smiles during the ceremony, laughter echoing through cocktail hour, and dancing that lasted well into the evening at this exclusive Barcelona-area venue surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery.
The venue: A rustic hideaway near Barcelona
When Bernardo and Seana started searching for Spanish wedding venues, they described their dream to Jill — somewhere rustic yet refined, exclusive but not pretentious, close to Barcelona but feeling like a countryside escape. Jill delivered exactly that with This Must Be The Place, a farmhouse venue with modern touches tucked away in a quiet corner near the city.
The estate offered everything they needed. A medieval-style event space with warm brick walls and soaring wooden-beamed ceilings for their ceremony. Multiple outdoor areas surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery. Complete exclusivity, meaning their guests could celebrate without outside interruptions or concerns about noise levels. The rustic charm matched their laid-back personalities perfectly while still providing sophisticated amenities.
What made this venue particularly special was its versatility. The historic architecture provided character and atmosphere without feeling stuffy or overly formal. The natural surroundings created stunning photo opportunities at every turn. And the exclusive use meant they could structure their day however they wanted, transitioning seamlessly from ceremony to cocktails to reception without rigid venue restrictions.
Planning a Barcelona wedding from Canada with Jill
Coordinating a destination wedding in Spain from Canada with over sixty guests sounds overwhelming. But from the moment Bernardo and Seana met Jill, they knew they'd found the right person. As they shared in their review, meeting Jill made them immediately drop other vendors they'd been exploring — her energy, professionalism, and understanding of their vision convinced them instantly.
That’s the beauty of our wedding packages in Spain. You’ll have a local expert as a single point of contact, who will coordinate the whole thing from venue to vendors.
But more than just a coordinator, Jill became their partner in creating exactly the celebration they'd envisioned. Always reachable through WhatsApp, email, or whatever communication method they needed, she provided fast and deep responses that kept planning moving smoothly despite the distance.
She recommended and booked every vendor — from the florist who understood their aesthetic to the DJ who could read their crowd's energy to the photographer who captured genuine moments rather than stiff poses.
Why Spain called to them from Canada
Bernardo and Seana’s decision to bring their celebration to Spain reflected their desire for something beyond traditional Canadian wedding expectations. They wanted destination wedding magic — that particular atmosphere that comes from gathering your favorite people in a beautiful foreign setting where everyone can focus entirely on celebration rather than daily obligations.
Spain offered exactly what they were looking for. The rustic Catalonian countryside provided stunning natural beauty. Barcelona's proximity meant easy international access for their Canadian guests. The cultural richness, incredible food, and Spanish approach to celebration aligned perfectly with their vision of joy-filled festivities rather than formal stuffiness.
Choosing a destination wedding also meant their guests became truly present. When people travel internationally for your wedding, they commit fully to the experience.
There's no slipping away early or being distracted by work. Everyone who made the journey from Canada to Spain did so because they genuinely wanted to celebrate with Bernardo and Seana — and that commitment created the foundation for the contagious joy that filled their entire day.
A ceremony filled with smiles and laughter
Inside the venue's intimate medieval-style space, with brick walls and wooden-beamed ceilings creating a warm atmosphere, Bernardo and Seana's sixty-plus guests gathered for their ceremony. And from the moment it began, the atmosphere felt different from typical weddings. Not solemn or overly formal, but genuinely joyful.
Even during the ceremony itself, smiles and light laughter rippled through the room. Not because anything was particularly funny, but because the happiness was simply contagious. The couple's obvious joy, the intimate setting, the knowledge that everyone present had traveled from Canada specifically to be there — these elements combined to create an atmosphere where genuine emotion could flow freely without pretense or performance.
Spring timing added its own magic. Late April in Catalonia offers ideal conditions — comfortable temperatures, blooming countryside, and that particular quality of Spanish light that makes everything glow.
The medieval-style space felt cozy without being cramped, historic without being stuffy, providing exactly the backdrop they'd envisioned for exchanging vows.
The reception that became a legendary party
If the ceremony radiated joy, the reception exploded with it. As the celebration transitioned from vows to dinner to dancing, the energy only intensified. Music filled the rustic space. The dance floor came alive early and stayed that way for hours. This wasn't polite swaying — this was full celebration mode.
The vendors Jill had carefully selected delivered flawlessly. The DJ read the room perfectly, knowing when to play crowd-pleasers and when to surprise with unexpected energy. The florist's arrangements enhanced rather than overwhelmed the venue's natural charm. The photographer captured authentic moments of joy rather than forcing stiff poses.
Every vendor understood the assignment: support a celebration that felt genuine and fun rather than formal and constrained.
The exclusive venue meant no noise restrictions, no shared spaces with other events, no pressure to keep energy contained. Bernardo and Seana's group could celebrate as loudly and enthusiastically as they wanted, and they took full advantage of that freedom.
When the planner joins the dance floor
Perhaps nothing captured the spirit of Bernardo and Seana's wedding better than one particular moment: Jill, their wedding planner, joining the celebration on the dance floor, dancing and singing along with the guests.
This wasn't typical wedding planner behavior — and that's exactly why it was perfect.
Jill's participation reflected how this entire intimate wedding in Spain felt. This wasn't a production she was managing from the sidelines. This was a celebration she'd helped create, and the joy was so contagious that professional boundaries naturally relaxed.
Her high energy and genuine investment in making their day perfect meant she wasn't just coordinating logistics — she was part of creating an atmosphere where everyone, including herself, could let loose and celebrate.
This moment also validated Bernardo and Seana's initial instinct about Jill. From their first meeting, they'd sensed she understood their vision for a joyful, authentic celebration rather than a stuffy formal affair.
Seeing her on the dance floor confirmed they'd chosen exactly the right person to bring their dream Spanish wedding to life.
Local expertise and genuine care create meaningful celebrations
Looking back at their decision to bring sixty-plus guests from Canada to a rustic venue near Barcelona, Bernardo and Seana got exactly what they'd hoped for and more. The exclusive venue provided a perfect setting.
Jill's comprehensive planning meant stress-free execution. Spring in Catalonia delivered ideal weather. And most importantly, the atmosphere stayed joyful and genuine from the ceremony through the last dance.
As they shared in their review, Jill captured their wishes and dreams and made them happen. That's what destination weddings deliver when you work with planners who combine professional expertise with genuine care — celebrations that feel effortless because someone who knows the local landscape intimately is handling every detail behind the scenes.
