From Festive “Yes” to Sunshine Vows: Why UK & Irish Couples Are Choosing Lanzarote for Their Wedding

You said yes during the festive season — wrapped in fairy lights, family laughter, and winter skies.

Now January arrives. The decorations come down. The weather turns grey. And suddenly, your thoughts drift somewhere very different…

Sunshine. Open skies. Volcanic landscapes. A wedding day that feels calm, intentional, and completely yours.

For more and more couples from the UK and Ireland, and all over the world in fact, that vision leads to one place: Lanzarote.

As The Lanzarote Celebrant, I work with couples who want something more than a traditional venue or a rushed registry office ceremony. They want meaning, beauty, and a wedding day that reflects who they truly are — whether that’s simple and intimate or bold and unforgettable.

✨ A Wedding That Feels Like an Escape (Not a Production)

After a festive engagement, many couples begin planning with excitement… and quickly feel overwhelmed.

Guest lists grow. Expectations appear. Costs rise.

What started as your wedding can suddenly feel like everyone else’s event.

This is where Lanzarote changes everything.

A destination wedding in Lanzarote allows you to:

• Strip away pressure and focus on what matters

• Create a ceremony that feels personal and relaxed

• Celebrate in warmth and natural beauty

• Turn your wedding into a shared experience, not just a single day

  
  

For UK and Irish couples especially, the contrast is powerful — from winter coats to sunshine vows.

🌴 Lanzarote: Wild, Warm, and Wonderfully Different

Lanzarote isn’t about glitter or gimmicks. It’s about raw beauty, space, and atmosphere.

Couples choose Lanzarote because it offers:

• 🌞 Year-round sunshine (even when home feels grey)

• 🌋 Unique volcanic landscapes you won’t find anywhere else

• 🌊 Beaches, cliffs, vineyards, and private spaces for ceremonies

• ✈️ Easy flights from the UK and Ireland

And whether you imagine:

• An elopement for two

• A small wedding with close family

• Or a larger celebration with loved ones travelling with you

Lanzarote holds space for all of it.

🤍 Your Ceremony: The Heart of the Day

No matter the size or style of your wedding, the ceremony is where everything slows down.

It’s the moment you look at each other and remember why you’re here.

As a celebrant in Lanzarote, I create bespoke wedding ceremonies for couples mainly from the UK and Ireland but also worldwide who want something real — not scripted, not rushed, not impersonal.

Working with me means:

• A ceremony written around your story

• Language that feels natural and meaningful

• A calm, experienced presence on the day

• A ceremony that guests remember long after the holiday ends

  
  

Whether your wedding is extravagant or beautifully simple, your ceremony should always feel intentional.

📅 Thinking of a 2026 or 2027 Lanzarote Wedding?

Festive engagements often lead to spring, summer, and autumn wedding dates — and the most popular months in Lanzarote book quickly.

If you’re recently engaged and considering:

• A destination wedding in Lanzarote

• A symbolic ceremony abroad

• Or an intimate, personalised wedding experience

  
  

Now is the perfect time to explore your options and secure your celebrant.
