Meeting and event venues in the Community of Madrid

Planning a wedding in the Community of Madrid

A wedding in Madrid can be a city celebration in a palace or a grand hotel, or a country one on an estate in the hills of the Sierra de Guadarrama or among the royal sites to the south. With the country’s largest airport and the high-speed rail hub, it is the easiest place in Spain to gather guests from many countries.

When to marry

May, June, late September and October are the best months: warm days and fresh evenings. July and August are very hot and many residents leave the city in August. Winters are cold but often sunny, which suits an indoor wedding in a palace or hotel.

Getting guests there

Madrid-Barajas has direct flights from across Europe, the Americas and beyond, and many Latin American guests arrive without a connection. AVE trains reach Atocha and Chamartín from Barcelona, Seville, Valencia and other cities. Estates in the Sierra or around Aranjuez need a coach or cars for guests.

Palaces, fincas and the Sierra

In the city, palaces and hotels in nineteenth-century buildings host receptions in ballrooms and gardens. Around the region, fincas with gardens and lawns, country houses in the Sierra de Guadarrama, and estates near El Escorial, Aranjuez and Chinchón offer a quieter setting. Fincas near Madrid often host the dinner while guests sleep in the city.

The legal side

A civil marriage in Spain generally requires at least one partner to be resident. Couples from abroad usually marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony at the venue; a church wedding is possible with paperwork through both parishes. Couples living in Madrid can marry civilly at a town hall or before a notary.
