I have been associated with the wedding business here in Marbella Spain for 8 years now.
Things were a little different when I started, for a start we did not have the internet, so there was a much more personal approach which these days is hard to attain at times and makes the companies who do succeed to do this special.
When I started, most brides wanted a church wedding, which unless you are Catholic, in Spain has always been a problem. I feel this has been made more difficult in recent years and therefore many couples, as they are mostly now of mixed religion or none at all, choose to have a civil ceremony where they live and come here for a blessing service afterwards. I really feel that Spain should allow non residents to have legal civil ceremonies here, in this day and age it seems to me to be very archaic not to. We do understand that this is all about to change which will be wonderful for the wedding business in Spain.
I feel the ceremony itself is the most important part of the marriage plans. The couple are promising to love each other, support and care for one another for the rest of their lives, so this part of their day should be very personal and special. As a minister, I like to meet with the couple long before their wedding, so we have time to discuss their needs and be able to write a ceremony together that has meaning and purpose for them and their families. It is I feel very important to include as many people from the two families as possible as the couple will need their support as they go through their lives and the promises all the family make this day will carry forward with love.
I have worked and know as friends Alex and Heather Sadler for many years and value their professionalism very much. They have brought Fiesta Sol so far along the road in this business by sheer hard work, personal service and commitment to perfection that they should be very proud of the success their company now has as the top wedding planners in this area. Everything they do is done with such care and commitment to each couple they work with that the friendships that are formed with couples last a long time after the wedding day is over.
Which really is what this is all about.
Caring and making people happy forever.
