With a mix of Moorish, Gothic, and Renaissance influences, Sevilla’s architecture and ambiance set the stage for a magical wedding celebration.

What we love about Villa Luisa is that it is situated in downtown Sevilla, which makes it super accessible and makes your life so much easier when it comes to transporting and accommodating your guests. That’s just on the practical side of things, though! This venue is absolutely one of the most gorgeous wedding venues in Sevilla.

Tips for Having Your Wedding at Villa Luisa, Sevilla

If you’re planning to have your wedding at Villa Luisa, hurray! There are some things to consider when it comes to your photos at this specific wedding venue in Sevilla, and these are some tips we’ve noticed brings us success:

1. Do a first look! We always recommend to couples getting married here to do a first look. Villa Luisa has so many gorgeous nook and corners that if you decide to do a first look, it will look amazing.
2. Have your ceremony later in the day, around golden hour. If you want the best lighting and weather for your ceremony time, aim for later in the day. Midday is usually (depending on the season) the worst time because the sun is high and will cast ugly shadows on your faces! If you aim for anytime past 4pm, then you’ll be getting much nicer lighting for some beautiful ceremony photos!
3. Leave room in your schedule for at least 30 minutes of portrait photos on the property. Villa Luisa has so much to offer for amazing wedding photography! This couple intentionally took time out of their cocktail to make sure they got some portraits of just them at the venue. We highly recommend it!

Say “I do” at Catedral de Sevilla

This couple decided to have their religious wedding ceremony at the most famous cathedral in Sevilla: Catedral de Sevilla. The Catedral de Sevilla, also known as Seville Cathedral, is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. As the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site and a symbol of Sevilla’s rich history and spirituality.

Something really special about this wedding is that the couple were told that they were the very last foreign couple to be married in the cathedral, as the authorities have decided to only hold Spanish couples’ wedding from then on.

This particular wedding ceremony was around 4pm in September. The groom enters, and then the bride with her father. A typical Catholic prayer commences the ceremony, followed by the couple reading personal vows and then a sentimental speech by the priest. To end the ceremony, the couple happily exits after exchanging rings!

Cultural Highlights to Enrich Your Sevilla Destination Wedding

Flamenco: The Soul of Andalusia

No wedding in Sevilla is complete without a touch of flamenco. Whether it’s a live performance during your reception or a flamenco-inspired wedding dress, this passionate art form adds an unforgettable flair to your celebration. Here is one of our favourite places to hit up: Casa de la Memoria.
