The best months to get married in Catalonia

Choosing a wedding date is one of the most important decisions when starting to plan your big day.


We are very fortunate that in Catalonia, thanks to the Mediterranean climate and the high quality of the ingredients used in our local cuisine, almost any time of year is perfect, as each season has its own advantages.


Are there best months to get married in Catalonia?


From a catering service's point of view, the month selected for a wedding celebration influences the menu, working conditions, guest comfort, and the overall experience of the event.

It's important to note that we're referring to weather conditions, as getting married in September with radiant sunshine is very different from getting married in January with the possibility of rain, potentially requiring a backup plan (tents, indoor spaces, adding heaters, and so on).


The chosen month will play a fundamental role in the style and feel of the wedding.


Spring

April & May

We're talking about one of the most popular times to celebrate weddings in Catalonia. In fact, April and May are somewhat overtaking June in the calendar.


This is because this season is pure magic. The warmer temperatures arrive, with mild and pleasant days, the landscapes turn green and everything begins to bloom, there are no more summer crowds (offering more peace and quiet), and honestly, comfort is the word that applies to everyone (both for those of us who have to work and for those who are going to enjoy a wonderful wedding).


It's the perfect time to celebrate weddings in traditional Catalan farmhouses (masías), with lush gardens and open spaces that allow you to enjoy appetizers and banquets outdoors.

Summer

June, July & August

These months have become the prime time to get married in Catalonia. Several factors contribute to this, such as the holiday season for many people (greater availability and ease), much more stable weather (and less chance of rain), longer days that allow for extended celebrations, and the fact that most weddings take place outdoors.

Even so, it's important to keep in mind that temperatures in the summer months, especially in July and August, can be very high. Therefore, it's advisable to start celebrations around 5:30 or 6:00 pm, opt for afternoon weddings, and have a backup plan with air conditioning or tents for sun protection.

All of this will be essential to ensure your guests have a great evening.


Another important point is that, since these are the most popular months, vendor availability is lower and demand is much higher. Therefore, you should plan and book well in advance to guarantee the availability of all the vendors you'd like for your wedding, as well as to find the best prices.

For example, if you need to book hotels for your guests, the price will vary significantly depending on whether you book in January or April or May.


Finally, as a catering company, we recommend choosing a fresh and light menu. If you want to impress your guests and offer a menu they'll remember fondly, opt for refreshing dishes like our Natural tomato cream with tuna belly, basil ice cream and savory crumble.

Go for cold buffets, gazpacho as an appetizer, and a banquet menu that isn't too heavy. We all know that eating can be a bit more difficult in the heat, and the feeling of fullness sets in much sooner.

Autumn

September & October

We were previously talking about couples' favorites, and now we're talking about the preferred months for everyone who works in the wedding industry. We believe that autumn is the best time of year to get married.

Why?


  • The temperatures are good, very similar to those of spring.

  • It's not considered peak season, so there's more availability.

  • The landscapes and light in the autumn months are unmatched.

  • The atmosphere is much more relaxed than in the summer months.

  • The celebrations are more enjoyable because of the current weather.


In terms of gastronomy, it is the perfect time since any type of food can be offered; from the gazpacho we mentioned earlier to tender, slow-cooked meat with a delicious red wine reduction and roasted potatoes on the side.

The weather is unpredictable, allowing us to delight our guests with a little bit of everything.

Furthermore, autumn still allows us to enjoy outdoor celebrations, another advantage to consider when choosing the month for your wedding.


Another thing we love is the decorations and staging that are so popular this time of year. Autumnal fruits (pumpkin and pomegranates), terracotta and burgundy colors, fabrics, and countless candles.

The banquet, as well as the cocktail hour and the ceremony if you wish, takes on a spectacular character.

Winter

November, December, January, February & March

Winter is the time of year that encompasses the most months, yet it's the least common time for weddings. It has its charm, and you can certainly plan a fantastic wedding in winter, but due to the low temperatures and unpredictable weather, it's not usually a favorite for couples deciding on their wedding date.


On the plus side, there's greater availability of vendors and prices are more competitive (since demand is very low). On the downside, the cold is ever-present (as is the likelihood of rain), indoor and heated venues are necessary, and outdoor spaces are rarely seen (if at all).


You might consider having a winter wedding if you're planning an intimate celebration, want to add a festive touch, or if you find the perfect venue to match your vision.

It will also be a great challenge if you want to organize a truly original wedding, completely different from what 85% of couples who get married in Catalonia do.

If we weigh up all the factors that contribute to a good wedding (the weather, the guests' experience, the logistics and the food), we can conclude that the best months to get married in Catalonia in general are;

May, June, September & October.

These have become the most popular among couples celebrating love due to the perfect balance of all elements.


Can it rain? Yes.

Could it be warmer than expected? Yes.

Could a cold snap arrive? Also possible.

There are many weather conditions beyond anyone's control, but we can highlight spring and autumn as the most balanced and suitable seasons for celebrating weddings, as well as enjoying fresh and delicious menus in outdoor settings.


As you can see, we cater weddings year-round, whether it's summer or winter, sunny or chilly at night. You choose, and we'll get to work!
