Planning a destination wedding in Mallorca is a dream — warm evenings under olive trees, long tables lit by candlelight, the scent of citrus in the air. At the same time, planning from abroad can feel overwhelming at first. Where do you begin? How early should you secure your venue? Which decisions come when?
As wedding planners based in Mallorca, we guide couples from around the world — the UK, the US, Europe and beyond — through this journey every year. Our approach is calm, curated, intentional, and structured. We help you make confident decisions, without stress or pressure.
This timeline outlines the natural rhythm of planning a wedding in Mallorca from abroad, step by step.
Note: This timeline reflects weddings during peak season (mid-May to mid-October), when venues and key providers book up far in advance. For weddings in April, early May, late October, November or December, planning windows can be more flexible due to higher availability.

18–24 months before
Your enquiry, first conversation and venue visits
This is where your Mallorca wedding begins — with a calm conversation to understand your vision and what matters to you.
Together, we:
explore styles, atmosphere and guest experience
align expectations around budget and possibilities
create a handpicked shortlist of venues that reflect your aesthetic
Then we either:
arrange in-person venue viewings in Mallorca or
guide you through beautifully prepared virtual tours
Once you’ve found your place, we secure the venue and date.
This becomes the foundation of your celebration.
12–18 months before
Booking your core vendor team
This is where your wedding begins to take physical shape.
We secure the key partners who will help bring your day to life:
catering
photography and videography
floral and design team
music and entertainment
ceremony support
We recommend only the partners we trust deeply — those who share our values of quality, calm presence and care.
9–12 months before
Concept and experience design
This is the phase where vision becomes atmosphere.
We begin refining:
stylistic direction
ceremony structure
musical flow throughout the celebration
guest journey and moments of hospitality
It is gentle, creative and thoughtful.

6–9 months before
Menu tasting and showroom appointment
Here, your senses guide the decision-making.
We arrange:
menu tasting with your catering team
visit to the design showroom to select:
dinnerware and glassware
table shapes (round or long)
linens and napkins
chairs and decorative elements
In parallel:
accommodation planning
guest experience and transport options (if needed)
This ensures comfort and coherence for your guests.
3–6 months before
Details, styling and timeline structure
We bring all elements together with clarity and flow:
floral compositions and décor placement
ceremony layout and seating
lighting and ambience design
structure of the wedding day timeline
This phase ensures every part of the celebration feels intentional.
1–3 months before
Menus, seating and final logistics
We finalise:
seating plan
menu cards and printed elements
final vendor communication
the complete logistical overview
You feel supported and prepared.

Wedding week
You arrive. We take care of everything.

It really is that simple.
A closing note
A wedding in Mallorca is more than a celebration — it is a shared experience shaped by nature, light and time.
You are not expected to hold all of this alone.
Our role is to guide, translate, curate and coordinate.
Your role is to be present.
