This Must Be The Place

This Must Be The Place was where our dreams came true. We couldn’t have asked for more for a venue: stunning setting, easily accessible from Barcelona, and importantly, the best couple we could have asked for were running it, Jo and Duncan. We had our wedding ceremony on the paddock, so when we got married on a clear day in June our guests looked out beyond us to the beautiful Pyrenees and the stunning landscape between Mas Casamitjana and the mountains on the horizon. Our caterers set up food stalls and we had a buffet-style meal, and then had our party downstairs in the dance floor area. Jo and Duncan went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt right at home and the event ran as smoothly as possible. The next day, we invited our guests back for a brunch which was the perfect ending to our wonderful weekend. We are so pleased that This Must Be The Place will always be special to us, and can’t wait to visit again in the future.

We just can’t thank Jo, Duncan and Indy enough for welcoming us into their beautiful home, This Must Be The Place to celebrate our wedding on 2nd July 2022. We found the venue online and booked after having one video call with Jo. We knew straight away the venue and the owners were right for us.

Seeing the place for the first time is a truly special moment. The hills roll for miles, the house and grounds are beautifully maintained with brilliant plants and flowers all year round. The house is superbly designed, a heady mix of rustic quirky while sympathetic to its surroundings! The house and the people just belong there! The air is clean, the only noise is nature and it smells divine. It really takes some imagination and creativity to make a place so special!

Jo and Duncan are great people, super helpful and good fun. They have laid back personalities but always seem to have their sleeves rolled up doing something! They made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. They were always on hand to help but also allowed us space to enjoy our stay with them. You can tell they absolutely love what they do. They get really involved with the build up and on the day they’re around like helpful friends!

The actual day of the wedding went on like a dream. We were just blown away watching and feeling it all unfold and finally coming together so seamlessly and perfectly. Our guests absolutely loved it and have been full of compliments on how special it was. The energy was incredible.

We are so happy we found This Must Be The Place. Our time there will always hold a special place in our hearts. We couldn’t recommend the venue and Jo and Duncan enough. It was just perfect!

The first time we (virtually) laid eyes on This Must Be The Place, we knew it was everything we could ever dream of and more. We originally hadn’t considered having a destination wedding but not a single venue even came close and we couldn’t stop thinking about those views, so I guess from that moment we both knew that it truly was THE place.

From our first FaceTime with Jo & Duncan we knew we were in good hands, despite being in a different country and not stepping foot in our wedding venue until literally the day before our big day, at no point did it feel like a risk. They were so helpful every step of the way and we’re so grateful for Jo, Duncan and Jane their wonderful coordinator for helping make our day as special and ‘us’ as it was.

We knew TMBTP was special but no words can describe how incredible it is in the flesh, it surpassed our expectations and our entire day was a complete dream come true. As we approached the venue for the very first time we were both genuinely lost for words. Stunning views, attention to detail and filled to the brim with personality, plus to make things even better, the loveliest team that we couldn’t have done this without.

We’ve had so many of our guests tell us it was the best wedding they’ve been to, and we think that compliment is all down to how amazing TMBTP is! We feel so privileged to have tied the knot in such a beautiful place and over the moon that we took the leap.

Big love to Jo, Duncan, Jane and of course Indy (who assisted in glittering up our guests on the night time), we can’t thank you all enough!

We booked TMBTP during COVID travel restrictions after a FaceTime round the property. May seem crazy to some - booking without seeing the venue in person- but Jo & Duncan have truly put together the most epic venue with so many thoughtful details that we thought it was crazy not to book. They were so approachable and warm from the start and we felt so supported throughout the planning process; they were always calm and generous with their emails/ our questions which removed any stress making the planning genuinely enjoyable (we were booking from London with a lot of international guests travelling to Moia). The venue and views are of course unparalleled, and there are so many ways to customise your day so every wedding there feels unique. Evidenced by Jo&Duncan referring to different layouts configured by the names of couples themselves. A truly warm gesture.

On the day itself, our guests had the best time and the words “WOW” “this is the nicest wedding venue I’ve ever been to” were shared throughout the festivities. We had a mix of rain, mist, cloud, full sunshine and a beautiful sunset - and every change in weather was equally beautiful. TMBTP is beyond special and we are so grateful to Jo&Duncan for their kindness, generosity, and impeccable taste that made our wedding so so special. As I’m sure everyone says: this really IS the place.

10 year wedding anniversary reunion perhaps….? ;)

With much love!

This truly IS the place! This Must be the Place is the perfect mixture of rustic, quirky, cool and glamorous. An absolute gem hidden in the hills of Catalonia. We booked the venue sight unseen as we felt such a wonderful vibe from Duncan & Jo. We were not to be let down when we arrived the day before the wedding. Pictures cannot possibly do the venue justice. It is perfection. Duncan & Jo are incredible and the local vendors are a dream to work with. It really was the best day of our lives and we could not feel more fortunate about where we decided to hold such a special and memorable occasion. Everything was seamless from start to finish and the recommended suppliers blew us away! Our guests wanted for nothing and the standard of accommodation and design is top class. We wouldn’t change anything for the world! The venue, the owners and the views make this place something extremely special. We cannot thank Duncan & Jo enough!

It was everything we hoped for - you have to see the place in person to appreciate how beautiful it is. We live on the east coast of the US and wanted to do something different for our wedding, and found Catalonia to be a perfect destination - great food, beautiful scenery, lovely people, and very affordable by US standards. The venue has multiple great locations to hold the ceremony and a beautiful indoor space for the bar and dancing. Overall we had a wonderful experience with this venue and the lovely owners, and would recommend it to anyone! It was an unforgettable weekend!

From the moment we found This Must Be The Place, we knew it would be the one.
Such a gorgeous place, from the location, the views, the great taste in which it's been renovated and decorated.
Jo and Duncan are the best event planners, they always have solutions for every problem and are a great support!
We would repeat this day over a million times, and choose this venue again without a doubt :)
We hope we can go back again as guests soon...!

We couldn't have made a better decision for our wedding venue.

The beauty of the venue with it's countless facets and options speaks for itself! You really feel the love for detail in every corner.

What makes the venue even more special are the perfect hosts Jo & Duncan. In these uncertain times they were always there for us with support, advice and the necessary flexibility.

During preparations and on the day itself they were very helpful and contributed to a perfect day.

We highly recommend This Must Be The Place / Mas Casamitjana to anyone and would love to host another event there!

Thank you guys a lot!
