Wedding photographer and videographer Mallorca
As an experienced destination wedding photographer for weddings on Mallorca, I have accompanied many beautiful weddings, including the three-day dream wedding of Jana and Bastian. Their celebration on the island was an unforgettable experience and showed why it's worth getting married on Mallorca. Here I answer some of the most frequently asked questions, including expert tips and a cost estimate:
1. how much does a small finca in Mallorca cost?
One of the great attractions for a wedding in Mallorca is the opportunity to celebrate in a dreamlike finca. A small finca on Mallorca can cost between 2,000 and 5,000 euros per week, depending on the season and location. Jana and Bastian opted for a finca in Ruberts, an idyllic location that offered them and their closest friends and family a week of relaxed and luxurious accommodation with their own pool.
2. can you get married in church on Mallorca?
Yes, you can get married in church on Mallorca. Jana and Bastian had their church wedding in the beautiful little church Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Atocha in Ariany, including a German-speaking priest, before heading off with their guests to the Finca Alaiar to celebrate the day with a festive dinner in the courtyard and an exuberant party in the vaulted cellar.
Tip: A great alternative to a church wedding is a free wedding ceremony at the finca itself. Independent wedding speakers are happy to come to the place where you would like to say "I do".
3. how much does a wedding in Mallorca cost?
The cost of a wedding in Mallorca can vary, but many couples find that it is no more expensive than a wedding at home in Germany. Jana and Bastian stated that their wedding in Mallorca was no more expensive than their wedding in the Rheingau, which they had planned during the coronavirus pandemic, but they celebrated with 20 fewer guests. Overall, you can expect costs of 15,000 to 30,000 euros for a medium-sized wedding in Mallorca, depending on the number of guests and desired extras.
4. how much does a wedding photographer in Mallorca cost?
As a wedding photographer in Mallorca, I charge different prices depending on the scope and duration of the session. For a three-day wedding like Jana and Bastian's, which also included an after-wedding photo shoot, you can expect to pay around 2,800 to 5,600 euros. However, the investment is worth it as the memories of these special days are captured forever.
Tip: A wedding video is a great way to capture the vibe of the days with your loved ones forever. That's why I'm happy to offer both photos and videos in one person. This saves you the cost of an additional videographer.
5. how much does a wedding planner in Mallorca cost?
A wedding planner in Mallorca can be a great help in making the day perfect. The cost of a wedding planner can range from 1,500 to 5,000 euros, depending on the services required and the duration of the planning.
Conclusion: Getting married on Mallorca
Jana and Bastian describe their decision to get married on Mallorca as"the best decision".
The finca they rented for a week gave them a great opportunity for quality time with their closest friends and family, and the party felt relaxed as it took place over several days rather than just one.
Their wedding began with a cozy get-together on Friday evening, followed by the church ceremony and a lively party on Saturday. On Sunday, they enjoyed a sunset catamaran sailing trip with the majority of their guests before having their after-wedding photo shoot on Monday. This multi-day celebration showed just how special and unforgettable a wedding on Mallorca can be.
If you're thinking about getting married in Mallorca, I can only say from my experience as a wedding photographer in Mallorca: it's a wonderful decision. The island offers the perfect backdrop for a dreamlike finca wedding, and the costs for a wedding in Mallorca are often comparable to those in Germany. Let yourself be enchanted by the beauty of Mallorca and create unforgettable memories of your special day.
If you would also like to get married in Mallorca, then I look forward to meeting you.
