Below you will find a few examples of different ways you can "Get Married" in Lanzarote.
Hotel Celebration
The Most Adorable Elopement You've Ever Seen
Becky, Ben, and sweet little Margot did things their way - no frills, no extras, no guests.
Just pure, honest love shared in the most heartfelt way.
They chose a bespoke ceremony with private vows, whispered so softly that neither I nor the photographer heard a word.
Those promises were meant for each other’s ears only.
Steve (the photographer) and I kept turning to each other and saying,
“Isn’t this just the cutest thing ever?”
After the ceremony, we wandered through the lush gardens of Hotel H10 Rubicón Horizons Collection for a relaxed family photo shoot. Then, with a very sleepy Margot tucked up in bed, Becky and Ben enjoyed an intimate five-course dinner on the private terrace of their suite.
Their table was beautifully set, their own waiter on hand, and wine flowed as they toasted their day - just the two of them.
In the bride’s own words: “It was a dream.”
Intimate Lanzarote beach elopement
30 minutes of pure love, emotions, and laughter.
Non-conformist and unconventional are words that describe this unique bride and groom.
"We would like something that isn't traditional, is that possible? They asked.
Absolutely, I replied "Let me get to know you both, and I'll see what I can do".
What we came up with was:
Surprise readings from the guests.
Funny stories of being high in Amsterdam!
Secret personal vows
Hidden Harry Potter quotes
Plenty of happy tears
Lots of laughter
Luck was on our side when we found the cutest hidden cove after their first beach location was busy with Sunday evening bathers!
I always inform my couples that we cannot guarantee the weather or complete privacy, but we were super lucky this day.
They enjoyed Bob Marley tunes playing as the sun set behind the mountains.
Can you picture it? Perfect in every way
Side note - without permission from the local authorities we can not put chairs, a ceremony arch or any structure on the beach. If we are less than 10 people in total, a relaxed informal standing ceremony is possible. As the following photos show.

Luxury Private Villa Wedding
This very relaxed bride had every part of her wedding booked apart from the Celebrant!!!
Her only question to me was,
"Are you free on this date?"
And then I was booked!
Now that was a first for me, I was hoping we'd be a good match for each other, and luckily we were.
Her lovely review after said:
"Sarah wrote the most beautiful ceremony for us that suited our personalities perfectly (Not to mushy with a funny twist). She made us both feel at ease and added to our day immensely. Would highly recommend to anyone considering getting married in Lanzarote. Such a lovely person and really cares".
They chose to incorporate the memory box/time capsule for their symbolic element. Guests added poems, wishes, and most probably some drunken notes too as the night progressed. They'll find out in 5 years time when they open the box. They will then reseal it with new hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the next 5 years.
I’d describe their entire wedding day as beautifully down to earth - relaxed, genuine, and full of heart.
Yet it had all the special touches you could hope for: live entertainment, delicious catering, a private villa, and even a photographer flown in especially for the occasion.
It was intimate, personal, and shared only with their closest friends and family.
Because a "big wedding" doesn’t have to mean a long guest list.

"We Still Do' after 21 years
"It was 21 years ago today that a very proud father took that all important walk down the aisle with his youngest daughter, he tentatively placed her hand, in the hand of her husband to be. Not knowing what the future may hold for his girl. And today he has had the honour and pleasure of being able to do it all again. This time, not so tentatively, but with more reassurance and calmness, knowing in his heart that she will continue to be cared for in the way she deserves." a small extract from the beautiful service myself and the Bride and Groom created together for this special Vow Renewal.
This Renewal of Vows Ceremony took place on the private terrace of a beachfront restaurant in Puerto Del Carmen.
The girls day started with being pampered with hair and makeup.
They chose the sand ceremony, and we spaced the adding of the sands throughout the 25-minute service.
Every family member (Grandad, Nan, Mum, Dad, Eldest Daughter & Youngest Daughter) added their coloured sand at their own individual part during the ceremony.
I then added white sand in remembrance of the Grooms parents who had sadly passed in recent years.
Followed with a delicious dinner and cocktails in the sun, a beautiful day from start to finish.
I have such warm feelings when I think back on this Vow Renewal.

A Wedding Ceremony at Sea
Some couples dream of saying "I do" with sand between their toes. Others? With the ocean breeze in their hair and dolphins on the horizon.
This beautiful pair chose to exchange vows aboard a luxury catamaran just off the coast of Lanzarote. With the Atlantic glistening around us and Papagayo beach in the distance, the setting couldn’t have been more spectacular.
The ceremony was relaxed and full of joy - barefoot on deck, wind in our hair, and not a single stress in sight. A small, handpicked group of family and friends looked on as they made their promises, followed by a glass of fizz and plenty of cheers.
After the ceremony, and once the photograoher and I had departed via a very small blow up boat!!!, they dropped anchor in a secluded bay, where everyone jumped into the turquoise water for a swim before a delicious tapas lunch was served onboard. Music, laughter, and the sound of the sea - what more could you want?
There’s something magical about getting married on the water. You really do feel like you’ve left the world behind.
