Advantages of celebrating your wedding in a villa

Privacy

Having a venue to celebrate your wedding day for just you is one of the most valuable advantages of marrying in a villa, since from the moment your guests arrive until the moment they leave… you won’t find anybody else!

The service, venue, and celebration are only for you, which gives a sensation of luxurious exclusivity.

Freedom to choose your vendors

There are many wedding venues, like monasteries, hotels, etc. that have exclusive providers for wedding celebrations, whether that be the decorators or the florists, etc. However, when you get married in a private villa, you have total freedom to choose any vendors that you would like: ceremony officiant, live music, florist, DJ, wedding planner…This freedom allows you to bring authenticity to your wedding by selecting services that go with your style and personality.

Differentiation

Guests are used to going to weddings celebrated in hotels, in a garden, but we are sure that very few have celebrated a wedding in a villa, so this is why an advantage is the difference compared to other conventional weddings. Because your wedding is unique!

A huge variety of good food

A huge variety of gourmet food is another principal reason to celebrate a wedding in a private villa. This is due to the various catering options currently available that can go to any location. You just have to choose a business that offers a menu that you like and a quality that fits your desires.

From a classic wedding menu to Mexican, Asian options or Mediterranean and avante-garde fusions. Yes, the catering that you are thinking of exists!

Noise is usually allowed

Many venues that are found in the city or close to buildings have noise regulations and a time limit. However, villas are usually far away from cities, which means that noise levels don’t annoy others. So, when you are searching for a private villa, make sure to ask about the restrictions on noise time limits.

Different venues in the same place

Villas normally provide a well kept outdoor space such as a garden, pool area, etc. where you can hold at least one part of your wedding, which is usually the ceremony or the cocktail hour. Another space is covered like a large lounge for lunch or dinner. This is a great advantage that allows you to offer your guests multiple environments on the same day and in a manageable space, since you can have a plan B incase of rain.

Peace and tranquillity

By finding the majority of private villas outside of the city, this provides a haven of peace and tranquillity, surrounded by green and with marvellous views. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city… no one will annoy you!

A venue for everyone’s comfort

Of course adults will have an incomparable experience, but if there are children invited to the wedding, a villa is a more comfortable space for them, since they can play and run around with greater freedom.

Furthermore, it is easier to have large installations such as bouncy castles, mini-discos, candy cats or even a mechanical bull.

Although it seems like a lie… There are some disadvantages! Not many, but we have to tell you about them.

Disadvantages of celebrating a wedding in a villa

Hiring requirements

Not all, but the majority of private villas usually require a minimum number of nights of hire to be able to organise a wedding there that will vary according to the time of year and the policies of the villa. They can require a minimum of 3 to 7 nights. 

Event tariff

Private villas have an event tariff as well as an overnight hiring fee. Although fees vary, the most common event tariff is equivalent to one night of hire in the villa.

For example, if the hiring fee is 1500they will ask for an additional 1500 as a fee for celebrating your wedding there.

Long journeys

The distance can become an inconvenience for the guests if they have to make a long journey to get to the villa, and many guests don’t like the idea of having to spend time sitting down in a car dressed in their best outfits. Not to mention that then they will have to return to the city at the end of the wedding, already tired.

For this reason, you will have to take charge of your guests’ journey (there, but most of all, return) which can increase the budget of your wedding, as well as adjoining a detailed plan of villa access in all the invitations.

Furthermore, you will have to consider the wedding times and think about variables like traffic jams. We want to make sure everyone is in their seats before the ceremony!
