Destination weddings · Alicante, Spain
A Mediterranean wedding does not have to happen on a Saturday.
For international couples planning a destination wedding in Spain, a weekday celebration can be one of the smartest and most beautiful ways to get married in Alicante or the Costa Blanca.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday weddings often offer better venue availability, more flexibility with suppliers and a calmer Mediterranean experience for guests travelling from abroad.

A different rhythm
In Spain, Saturday is traditionally the most requested wedding day. But destination weddings work differently.
When your guests are already travelling to Alicante, Costa Blanca or the Mediterranean coast for several days, your wedding does not need to be limited to the weekend. A Wednesday or Thursday celebration can give everyone time to arrive, settle in, enjoy the coast and experience your wedding as part of a beautiful trip to Spain.
A weekday wedding is not a smaller version of a Saturday wedding. It can be more relaxed, more personal and easier to design around your guests.
The weekday advantage
Many of the most beautiful wedding venues in Alicante and Costa Blanca are booked far in advance for Saturdays. Choosing a weekday can give you access to more dates, more locations and more flexibility.
Your guests can arrive before the wedding, enjoy Alicante, Altea, Jávea or the Costa Blanca, celebrate with you and still use the weekend for travel, beach days or a longer holiday in Spain.
Photographers, florists, musicians, beauty teams, private chefs and venues are often more available from Tuesday to Friday than on peak Saturdays.
For international couples, the wedding is not just one day. It is a journey, a gathering and a shared Mediterranean experience.
The destination
Costa Blanca is one of the most attractive areas in Spain for international weddings because it combines Mediterranean light, sea-view venues, countryside fincas, elegant villas and excellent travel connections through Alicante-Elche Airport.
Couples can choose between a wedding close to Alicante city, a coastal celebration near Altea or Jávea, a private villa in Moraira or Benissa, or a countryside venue around Elche and the inland areas of the province.
For guests travelling from abroad, this makes the experience easier: they can fly into Alicante, stay by the sea, explore the coast and turn the wedding into a relaxed multi-day celebration.
From Alicante to Altea, Jávea, Moraira, Benissa, Elche, Santa Pola and Villajoyosa, a weekday wedding gives you more freedom to design the experience around your dates, your guests and your style.
Choose your day
A Tuesday wedding is ideal for couples planning an intimate celebration after guests arrive during the weekend or on Monday. It works especially well for elopements, symbolic ceremonies and small destination weddings.
A Wednesday wedding gives your guests time to arrive, settle in and enjoy Alicante or Costa Blanca before the celebration. It is one of the most balanced options for international couples planning a relaxed destination wedding in Spain.
A Thursday wedding feels close to the weekend while still offering many of the advantages of a weekday. It allows guests to extend their stay into Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
A Friday wedding is perfect for couples who want the energy of the weekend with slightly more flexibility than a Saturday. It also gives guests the option to continue celebrating on the Costa Blanca after the wedding day.
A multi-day celebration
Guests arrive in Alicante and check in.
Welcome dinner, beach afternoon or informal drinks.
