Britney and Valentine’s intimate wedding in Spain

Flying over 6,000 miles from California, Britney and Valentine exchanged vows on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean. Their Mallorca micro wedding was pure romance under golden sunset skies. With just over 20 of their closest loved ones by their side, the San Diego couple chose the historic clifftop estate of Son Marroig for their symbolic ceremony.

From the iconic Carrara marble temple perched at the cliff's edge to the panoramic views stretching across the sea, every element came together to create an unforgettable celebration.

Their destination wedding planner in Spain, Jill, orchestrated every detail from thousands of miles away, transforming their vision into reality without the couple needing to make a single planning trip to Spain.

The intimate guest count allowed them to invest in what mattered most - a breathtaking venue steeped in Mallorcan history, personalized touches throughout the day, and a relaxed timeline that let them savor every moment.

As the Mediterranean sunset painted the sky in golden hues and their loved ones gathered around the marble temple, Britney and Valentine's dream of a European destination wedding became a beautiful reality.

How it all began and the planning process

Our couple reached out less than a year before their big day and quickly connected with Jill, their dedicated planner in Spain. From bouquet inspiration to venue options, they shared their vision, and Jill made it real. Britney and Valentine never needed to fly to Spain for planning meetings or venue visits.

Their planner handled every detail, from coordinating vendors to managing venue communication and booking all services.

With just over 20 guests, logistics remained streamlined and stress-free. Choosing a symbolic ceremony with no legal paperwork kept things beautifully simple, allowing the couple to focus on enjoying the journey rather than navigating Spanish marriage requirements.

Jill's expertise meant recommendations for florists, photographers, caterers, and every other vendor came from trusted local relationships that make our Spain wedding packages ideal for a stress-free celebration.

The couple's glowing review said it all: Jill was beyond accommodating to everything they asked, and she truly blew the ceremony out of the water. Many guests told them it was the most beautiful wedding they'd been to, and they knew a lot of it came together because of Jill's meticulous planning and flawless execution.

Why Mallorca for their destination wedding

Getting married in Europe is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that every couple should embrace, and for Britney and Valentine, Mallorca offered the perfect blend of Mediterranean beauty and Spanish charm. The island's dramatic coastline, with cliffs plunging into turquoise waters, created the romantic backdrop they'd always envisioned.

Unlike traditional weddings at home in California, a Mallorca celebration meant their closest loved ones would embark on an adventure together, creating memories that extended far beyond the wedding day itself. The island's reliable spring weather in late May promised sunshine and warm breezes, perfect for an outdoor clifftop ceremony.

Mallorca's rich history, reflected in estates like Son Marroig, added cultural depth to their celebration. The combination of wild coastal beauty, mountain backdrops, and enchanting Mediterranean light made the estate one of our Spanish wedding venues that feels closest to a fairytale.

For a couple seeking something extraordinary, Mallorca delivered on every level - offering both the intimacy they desired and the breathtaking scenery that would leave their guests speechless.

A clifftop paradise in Mallorca

The beauty of intimate weddings is that you can truly invest in the elements that matter most, as a smaller guest list allows for greater flexibility with your budget. For Britney and Valentine, a breathtaking venue was their top priority, which led them to Son Marroig, a clifftop estate rich in Mallorca's history.

This historic property features expansive terraces that seem to float above the Mediterranean, panoramic views stretching to the horizon, enchanting gardens filled with native plants, and the iconic Carrara marble temple that has become one of Mallorca's most photographed landmarks. The estate sits over 1,000 feet above the sea, offering uninterrupted vistas of sparkling water, rugged coastline, and distant mountain peaks.

Mallorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is known for its rugged cliffs and pristine natural scenery. The location alone set the tone for a dreamy sunset celebration, with golden light washing over white marble and blue waters. The photos say it best - this venue was made for magical micro weddings in Spain, offering both natural drama and architectural elegance in equal measure.

Fairytale ceremony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea

Britney arrived early for a relaxed photo session and a touching first look with Valentine on the terrace, framed by Mallorca's dramatic landscape. Everyone's hearts were racing as Britney met her groom on the terrace, in full view of the breathtaking Mallorcan scenery.

Beyond adoring each other the moment their eyes met, the couple also took a few minutes to appreciate the views before them. They marveled at the reality that their dream micro wedding in Spain was unfolding right in front of them.

When the ceremony began, the marble temple at the cliff's edge created an unforgettable backdrop. Surrounded by the sea, mountains, and glowing sunset, Britney and Valentine exchanged vows in a setting that felt like a dream come true.

The symbolic ceremony allowed them complete freedom to personalize their vows and structure the moment exactly as they wished.

The beauty of their day wasn't just in the scenery - it was in how effortlessly everything came together, allowing them to focus on what mattered most: their celebration of love for each other.

An intimate celebration with their closest loved ones

With just over twenty guests, Britney and Valentine's wedding felt personal and meaningful in ways that larger celebrations often can't achieve. Every person present held a special place in their lives, creating an atmosphere of genuine connection and joy.

The intimate guest count meant the couple could spend quality time with each loved one throughout the day, from welcome drinks overlooking the Mediterranean to post-ceremony canapés and dinner.

Guests traveled from California alongside the couple, turning the wedding into a shared adventure that strengthened bonds and created collective memories. The smaller scale also allowed for thoughtful details and personalized touches that might be impossible with a larger group. Each guest felt essential to the celebration, witnessing not just a ceremony but an intimate moment between two people deeply in love.

This close-knit gathering perfectly reflected Britney and Valentine's values - choosing depth of experience over scale, meaningful moments over formality, and authentic celebration over traditional expectations.

A sunset celebration to remember

As the Mediterranean sun began its descent toward the horizon, Britney and Valentine's celebration transitioned from ceremony to reception with the same effortless elegance that defined their entire day. Welcome drinks had set a relaxed tone, allowing guests to mingle on the terraces while taking in the spectacular views.

The sunset ceremony timing was perfectly calculated to capture that magical golden hour light that photographers dream of - warm, soft, and gloriously flattering. Following their vows, guests enjoyed canapés as the sky transformed through shades of pink, orange, and purple, with the sun sinking into the Mediterranean.

Dinner at Lume continued the celebration, bringing everyone together as day turned to evening and the first stars appeared above the cliffs. The timeline flowed naturally, without rushed transitions or rigid schedules, allowing the celebration to unfold organically.

This relaxed approach perfectly suited the couple's vision - a day focused on presence, connection, and soaking in every precious moment of their Mallorca micro wedding under those unforgettable Spanish skies.
