Girona Elopements: Medieval Streets and Vineyard Ceremonies

A Peaceful, Authentic Alternative to Barcelona

If you love the idea of a wedding in Spain but want something quieter, more romantic, and filled with old-world charm, Girona might be your perfect match.

Located just an hour north of Barcelona, Girona combines medieval architecture, Catalan culture, and peaceful countryside. For couples looking to elope or plan a small destination wedding, this city offers cinematic beauty without crowds and plenty of freedom to make the day your own.

🏰 Why Choose Girona for Your Elopement?

Girona feels like a hidden treasure:

- Walled city with cobblestone alleys and Romanesque churches

- Game of Thrones filming locations (yes — that staircase!)

- Peaceful vineyards and country estates nearby

- Close to the Costa Brava if you want sea views too

- Fewer tourists than Barcelona, but just as photogenic

This is where you go to stroll, say vows under arches, and hear your footsteps echo down ancient streets.

💍 Legal or Symbolic?

Like most regions of Spain, legal weddings in Girona require paperwork, translation, and time. If neither of you resides in Spain, the process is possible but complex.

That’s why most of our couples choose a symbolic ceremony, legally marrying in their home country or Denmark before or after the celebration.

✅ Symbolic ceremonies allow total freedom:

- Choose any location

- Write your vows

- Invite as many or as few people as you want

- Avoid bureaucracy and stress

☀️ When to Elope in Girona

Spring (April–May): Blooming gardens, mild weather, green vineyards

Autumn (September–October): Warm days, soft light, grape harvest season

Summer (June–August): Beautiful, but plan for early or late ceremonies to avoid the heat

Winter (November–February): Great for moody, historic settings — quiet and reflective

We work with the season’s light to make each film feel honest and grounded in place.
