This beautiful Andalusian city gives off so much charm that everyone who visits it is captivated and in love with the beauty of its landscapes and monuments, its streets, its people or even its gastronomy.
For this reason, at Perfect Venue we have compiled the main reasons to choose Granada to celebrate your wedding and the most unique venues to choose from to walk down the aisle.
So, if your wish is to get married here, you shouldn’t miss this post, after which you will shout “I do” from the rooftops.
Let’s begin!
Why should you choose Granada for your wedding?
For its pleasant climate, because apart from the colder months, the temperature throughout the year is extremely pleasant. Your wedding will be welcome in almost any month of the year, although to avoid the high temperatures that the city reaches in the summer months, we recommend getting married in spring or autumn.
For its mysterious streets, among which you can walk through neighbourhoods of pure Granada essence, winding alleys and the most authentic and characteristic neighbourhood in all of Spain: the Islamic one. Take comfortable shoes and walk through its narrow stone streets, among which you will also find cave houses where you can sleep.
For its luxurious architecture, which can be seen in all corners of the province. And we cannot fail to mention the eighth wonder of the world: the Alhambra. There’s nothing more magical than seeing it with your partner after getting married in one of the wedding venues full of magical architecture that the city offers.
For its exquisite cuisine, with Arab influences. Being a land rich in fruits and vegetables, you will only find healthy and quality dishes, which will surprise both your eyes and your palate. Among the most delicious are: broad beans with ham, sardine moraga, San Antón stew, Sacromonte omelette, royal tart from Motril, pionono, tocinillo de cielo…is it due to variety?
For its spas and Arab baths, where you can enjoy, relax and unwind in the company of your partner both before and after the wedding. In addition, it’s not uncommon to find places to get married that house this type of facilities originating from the Arab era.
For its good people, who in addition to being friendly and helpful, are also professional, an important factor to take into account when visiting a city. The “granaínos” will welcome you with open arms!
Take a look at the most unique venues
Carmen de los Chapiteles
In a unique setting, surrounded by the Nasrid gardens of the Generalife in La Alhambra and in front of the Albaicín and El Sacromonte neighbourhoods we find the Carmen de los Chapiteles, for a wedding with the best views and original 14th century coffered ceilings.
Cazulas Palace
Located at the end of a luxurious tropical valley, this mansion is located in a private, peaceful and intimate setting. This Andalusian jewel dating back to 1492 has a private chapel that can also be used for your big day, in addition to the Arab gardens, where you can celebrate both the cocktail, the reception or the party.

The Chumbera
With wide viewpoints, terraces and unforgettable views over Valparaíso and the Alhambra, La Chumbera is an ideal place to celebrate your wedding in Granada. The Cathedral, the auditorium, that has a glass window with views of the Alhambra, and the valley in the background also contribute to the magic of the place.
Palacio de los Córdova
One of the most magical places to get married is to do it here, in the heart of the city of Granada, specifically in the Albaicín neighbourhood, at the foot of the Alhambra and with privileged views of this monument. An ideal setting to say “I do” and then celebrate the reception. In the palace, all the Mozarabic and Renaissance influences have been perfectly preserved.
Parador de San Francisco
Located at the old site that used to be the 15th century Convent of San Francisco, this luxury hotel overlooking the Alhambra gardens and housing a famous restaurant, combines original elements of the time, such as stone arches, beamed ceilings, antique furniture and elegant contemporary décor. It serves a wide range of traditional dishes.
El Carmen de los Mártires
In this venue we find a French garden full of palm trees and orange trees. In addition, it has an English-style garden with a fountain, dedicated to Felipe II, and a Spanish garden with rose bushes and lime trees. It also has a Nasrid patio, built in the last century, with a pond that imitates the Patio de la Acequia de la Alhambra, adorned with jasmines and Nasrid decoration.
Palacio de Quinta Alegre
After a remodelling project, today weddings can be held both inside and outside the Palace. The original gardens of the time stand out, recovered after a significant investment and thus resulting in a jewel of botanical architecture. It is important to mention the magical views of the Alhambra, the Cathedral and the mountains.
Pabellón de las Artes
With a collection of works recognised by UNESCO, this pavilion has large terraces and gardens that can become the ideal setting for your wedding. You will be able to enjoy spacious and elegant rooms for the wedding reception or the after-party, where you can also have an open bar and a disco area with no time limit.

Located on the Costa de Motril, Granada, this venue is equipped with both interior and exterior spaces in which you can carry out the different moments of your wedding day and from any of its beautiful terraces with sea views. At the viewpoint there is even a large interior space decorated with taste and a terrace that has more than 550 square metres and a 95 square metre porch.
Finca Casabela
This is an old stately home from the start of the nineteenth century that mixes colonial and contemporary style. It underwent a slow and delicate restoration that recovered the best of its past to achieve what it is today: an 800 square metre house and a 1000 square metre garden facing the outside of the porch with a garden with mountain views.
Hotel AC Palacio de Santa Paula
This hotel, which owes its name to its magnificent location, has a refined façade, a sensational porticoed courtyard, the courtyard of the old palace, dominated by a majestic fountain and surrounded by beautiful semi-circular arches. The hotel offers a culinary repertoire based on traditional Andalusian gastronomy with a striking refreshing touch that is present in appetisers and desserts.
Cortijo La Alameda
This characteristically Andalusian country house will provide you with spaces loaded with elegance, combining the locations that the estate offers to turn your wedding into a party with endless possibilities when it comes to exchanging spaces. In it you will have a large period patio and different gardens in which to celebrate the outdoor cocktail with all comfort and elegance.
Restaurante Las Tomasas
In 1989 this restaurant opened its doors using part of its beautiful gardens as a summer terrace, where snacks and cold dinners were served. Since then, its gastronomic offer has been expanded, as well as its indoor and outdoor facilities. The interior dining rooms are decorated in detail and there are several terraces set up in case you opt for a winter wedding, since they have glass curtains, a stove and infrared heaters.

The Láchar Castle is a palace built at the end of the 19th century that offers endless opportunities to all couples.
