But first… Why choose Galicia for my wedding?
Weddings in Galicia mean that all couples can celebrate their wedding amidst lively forests, meigas, saltpetre and long digestion with a taste of crema de orujo and filloas. And the fact is that this land so ‘riquiña’ has everything for brides and grooms of all kinds.
Galicia boasts dreamlike natural landscapes, with almost 2,000 kilometres of beaches, many of which are rated as the best in the world, such as Playa de las Catedrales in Ribadeo, Cape Finisterre and the Cíes Islands. The inland tourism is also spectacular, with its immense green valleys, dotted with picturesque villages.
Its artistic wealth is immeasurable, with the Tower of Hercules in La Coruña, the walls of Lugo and, of course, Santiago de Compostela, a World Heritage Site. In addition, in the mountains there are natural biosphere reserves and half a dozen natural parks.
In addition, Galicia has a mild climate, great for weddings at any time of the year as it is neither too cold nor too hot. Thanks to these mild temperatures, the fields remain green and the sun’s rays do not burn.
Coastal landscapes surrounded by breathtaking cliffs, paradisiacal beaches, magical villages, historic cities, finger-licking gastronomy, waterfalls, canyons… With these settings, what couple wouldn’t want to look for wedding venues in Galicia?
Spaces for an intimate wedding in Galicia
More and more brides and grooms prefer to avoid traditional and formal weddings and have only the most important people for the couple to share this unique moment in a more intimate and cosy way.
The cost of the wedding is much more economical, as having fewer guests means that you can invest the money that a wedding full of guests would cost in an intimate wedding venue in Galicia, for example:
1. Rectoral de Cines
This is a rural tourism establishment located in Oza-Cesuras, 10 minutes by car from Betanzos and 20 minutes from A Coruña, which is located in the countryside and in a space of great historical value, as it is an old restored monastery that is located in the surroundings of the Church of San Nicolás de Cines.
A beautiful building totally restored and adapted to enjoy such a special day. Gardens, gazebos, patios, corners of extreme beauty in a green and welcoming environment.

2. A Quinta da Auga Hotel Spa Relais & Châteaux
This is an ideal hotel for weddings and civil ceremonies in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia. The beauty of its outdoor spaces, the careful and personalised decoration of our halls and the quality of the gastronomy of its restaurant make it one of the most impressive places in Galicia for weddings.
The 10,000 m2 estate surrounded by the Sar River has a multitude of charming corners: a magical bamboo forest for the cocktail or ceremony, lush gardens with native trees and terraces surrounded by the freshness of nature.
The bride and groom can choose between three romantic suites. All of them are different, combining art and decoration with wallpaper and stone, resulting in a unique space for the bridal ritual.

As accommodation they have a suite for the bride and groom as well as three standard rooms for other guests.
2. Pazo de Cea
This space is the perfect balance between tradition and modernity. It has been standing since the 16th century and has been classified as an Asset of Cultural Interest.

Prepared for the atypical climate of Galicia, they have spaces adapted to any type of event and time of the year. Numerous magnificent exteriors as well as spacious halls in which to celebrate the civil ceremony, hold the banquet and dance.
They also have their own kitchen and their main objective is to make it as easy as possible for the bride and groom so that on the big day their only worries are to enjoy and celebrate.
2. Granbazán Winery
The pearl of Finca Tremoedo is the beautiful building of Bodegas Granbazán, with a strong French Château influence and now covered with blue tiles, in a nod to Galician Indian houses.

They have three spaces in which to enjoy a unique and unforgettable celebration. The Granbazán room can accommodate up to 250 guests and also has space for the dance party; the Ámbar room combines tradition with the avant-garde and is perfect for enjoying Galician oenology and gastronomy, and finally the Vilanova room is a modern and luminous space.
Spaces overlooking the sea for a wedding in Galicia
We have all dreamed of holding an event on the beach and it is very difficult to change our minds after that! The fact is that the sea offers spectacular and relaxing views (and never better said!).
On the Galician coast you will find a wide variety of romantic and beautiful places to celebrate your wedding, but always with sea views! Because there are some things we can’t do without when looking for wedding venues in Galicia.
1. Casona da Torre
Located in Redondela, in an easily accessible location close to Vigo, Pontevedra, Cangas and the surrounding area. Its views of the Vigo estuary, specifically, the bay of San Simón, make it a unique space.
The estate has about 8,000 square metres of garden where there is a marquee for the celebration of outdoor civil ceremonies with full legal validity. It also offers an indoor alternative in a very cosy stone-covered hall for rainy days.
The banqueting hall has a capacity for 240 people, has large windows that allow you to take advantage of the outside light, is perfectly conditioned and offers a large dance area.
2. Rectory of Cobres 1729
The Rectoral de Cobres 1729 is located in Vilaboa, Pontevedra. It is a ‘charming hotel’ in which its owners have put all their enthusiasm into making it a special place where every stay is unforgettable. It is an old Rectoral, dating from 1729, located on a hill that offers wonderful views over the bottom of the Vigo estuary, right on the historic Rande Strait.
To this landscape full of history, we must add the art contained in the Rectoral itself and its ‘paneira’, with a floor plan of 150 square metres, which has now changed its function of storing grain for that of hosting all kinds of celebrations.
They therefore offer the possibility of holding wedding banquets and civil ceremonies in their facilities and accommodation in their 8 refurbished, restored and furnished rooms, seeking to combine the comforts demanded by a 21st century traveller with all the charm of that 18th century Galician rural architecture.
