Getting married in a private villa or finca in Ibiza is one of the best ways to celebrate your wedding with complete privacy. As wedding planners, we love organising weddings in private villas and fincas because we can tailor everything – from big to small details.

How to Plan an Ibiza Wedding

Everything is personalised, from setting up the timeline to choosing catering, furniture, tableware, and glassware, usually predetermined in a venue or restaurant. Here, we have the freedom to choose everything.

Additionally, most villas that allow weddings have different areas, so each wedding can be unique. We can organise ceremonies in a garden or even build a stage over a pool for a more high-end touch. We decide where the dinner and dance floor are situated, making each wedding one of a kind. For couples who prefer privacy but don’t want to make too many decisions, no problem! Bliss Ibiza Wedding Planner takes over the styling and provides the best suggestions to make everything smoother than you think.

As local wedding planners, we can access villas and fincas that are off the usual market. When you consider organising your villa or Finca wedding, your first step should be contacting a wedding planner. Even if you find a villa online – you will get a better understanding of what is possible and if that is a match when working with a planner who have an experience working in Ibiza and with that villa.

After a consultation, Bliss Ibiza Wedding Planner understands which villas suit you, considering factors like style, surroundings (beautiful gardens, sea views, or cliff venues), and other preferences. Villa and Finca weddings are trendy and a personal favourite for us. We can send you suitable offers depending on the number of guests, party preferences, daytime or nighttime weddings, and budget.

Your wedding planner will guide you through the process and explain the rules. Additionally, it’s essential to know that, besides the rent, the owner will charge you an event fee. This fee allows you to use the property as a wedding venue. Depending on the owner’s policies, some owners may include a property manager on-site or parking attendants.

In certain villas, you may need to rent portable toilets, organise shuttle buses if there’s limited parking, and manage other details, all of which your planner will have under control.

An Ibiza Villa Wedding Guide

Here’s a breakdown of the process and first steps:

Decide Guest Count and Style:

  • Consider the villa’s capacity and choose how many guests you want to celebrate with.
  • Decide on the wedding style, whether rustic, bohemian, modern, contemporary, stylish, or a mix.

Entertainment and Timing:

  • Decide whether you want a party with a band or a DJ.
  • Determine if a daytime party or a more extended evening celebration suits you. Some villas have in-house clubs – but of course, those are more pricey.

Budget:

  • Budget considerations range from around 15k for a week rental to higher options, offering more amenities. For bigger villas, you need to count on 30-40k, and luxury options are +50k for a week.
  • The event fee, an extra fee for using the property as a wedding venue, varies and may include additional services.
  • Besides the budget for a villa consider the overal budget for a wedding. Some couple share the cost of the villa with others that stay there – some decide to cover that cost and include in a wedding budget.

Rental Duration:

  • Villas are usually available for at least four days out of the main season (July and August – as by then you rent the house for a min. Week with some expections).
  • Couples often opt to stay for a week, turning the event into a holiday for themselves and their friends.

Combine with Other Events:

  • Consider hosting a brunch or pool party the next afternoon for a weekend wedding.
  • Use the property for a second-day event, avoid using it for a welcome night – such as a welcome drink gathering, as you don’t want to skip the WOW effect when your guest see the house fully dressed and in its best!

Once you have all the information mentioned above, you can truly delve into your options so it is time to reach out to Ibiza wedding planner and start working with one that will help you through the journey.

After securing your dream Ibiza wedding villa or charming finca, the following steps involve designing the day and creating a plan, securing the vendors and finisling the details. All that includes the fun stuff like tasing, mocks ups etc

Bliss Ibiza Wedding Planner understand that every couple is unique, with its rhythm or timing – some prefer a one-year planning period, while others are comfortable with 5 or 3 months.

An essential consideration is when to start planning. For a villa wedding, we recommend commencing the planning process a year in advance, not earlier, as prices are typically not released before that time and villas don’t take bookings so much in advance.

Weddings in private villas feel like an experience, offering more extensive gardens for various activities. The possibilities are endless, creating a unique and memorable day. Logistics play a crucial role; a planner will set a schedule to coordinate vendors efficiently and recommend you vendors that are working responsibly and well. As there are a lot of options out there but the art is to choose the best ones.

For the fun stuff, choose an amazing catering option from Laid back to amazing experience like Los Magicos Ibiza Catering Go wild with the furniture, tableware, flowers, decorations, stationery, ambient lights, and party lights. Dive into creative partners like photo and video teams, musicians and entertainment options to make your wedding unforgettable.
Remember: everything can be tailored to your wishes and needs.

On the wedding day: the set-up usually starts a day before the wedding (for bigger celebrations) and on the wedding day, preparations begin in the morning with the planner coordinating everything – so all goes to perfection and you can enjoy the day to the fullest!
