A civil ceremony in the gardens
A civil ceremony in Lanzarote at El Jardín de Teguise is a non-religious, celebrant-led ceremony held outdoors among the palms and flowers. It has the structure and feeling of a registry-office wedding — a welcome, your story, vows, an exchange of rings, a first kiss and a signing moment — but with none of the constraints.
What you can personalise
- Your own vows, or vows written with your celebrant
- Readings by friends or family, in any language
- Rituals such as a sand ceremony, handfasting or ring warming
- Music for the processional, signing and recessional
- Who walks you in — or walking in together
Civil ceremony vs a legal civil marriage in Spain
A legally binding civil marriage in Spain generally requires residency and several weeks of paperwork, so most UK and Irish couples have a celebrant-led civil ceremony here and complete the legal marriage at their home register office. The day looks and feels identical. See legal requirements for getting married in Lanzarote.
