Couple by the pool at blue hour, Destination wedding Spain

Gemma and Mark, a couple who overcame the distance to celebrate their destination wedding in Spain. From Abu Dhabi to Andalusia: their wedding was more than a day, it was a celebration over several days, with food, drink, music and countless photos. Cheerful and colourful, just like the two of them.

Colourful decor with a tile motif

The decor reflected Gemma and Mark’s personalities: colourful flowers, cheerful tablecloths and a common thread from the colour concept to the tile motif. The table numbers were hand-drawn and doubled as favours, namely the couple’s favourite crisps. We even printed the biscuits for the sweet table with the same tile motif as the menus and the little tile place cards.

The party of the year

The highlight of the evening was their first dance. A perfect performance, and once they opened the dance floor there was no stopping anyone. Even we danced all night.

“We could probably rave endlessly about how great the Ambrosia team is, but you’ll just have to trust us! The thought of our wedding without them is UNTHINKABLE.”

Gemma & Mark

What stays

More than a party: a celebration of togetherness and the joy of life. More weddings, couples and guests like these, please! Thank you, dear Gemma and dear Mark, for your trust.

Frequently asked questions

Can you celebrate a wedding in Spain over several days?
Yes, many of our couples do exactly that: a get-together the evening before, the wedding day and a relaxed day afterwards.

Does a destination wedding work from far away?
Gemma and Mark came from Abu Dhabi. We plan everything by video call and take care of the rest on site.

When is the best time for a wedding in Almería?
April to June and September to October are the most popular months. In July we move the ceremony to the late afternoon, and we don’t plan weddings in August because it is too hot.
