Your Once-in-a-Lifetime Celebration
From historic villas in Tuscany, to seaside ceremonies in the Algarve, or a flamenco-accompanied celebration in the heart of Andalusia, we help you create a wedding that is not only visually stunning, but deeply personal and memorable for you and your guests.
A Seamless Planning Experience, Rooted in Local Expertise
With over 25 years of experience in the wedding industry and a curated network of exceptional vendors across Southern Europe, we manage every detail with care and precision. From travel logistics and venue scouting to day-of coordination and contingency planning, we are with you every step of the way.
We also work closely with local experts and legal professionals to guide you through:
Legal Requirements & Marriage Paperwork
- Italy: Civil or symbolic ceremonies available; paperwork must be submitted to local town halls in advance. Catholic weddings require specific permissions.
- Spain: Civil ceremonies for residents only; most couples opt for a legal ceremony at home and a symbolic celebration in Spain.
- Portugal: Both civil and religious weddings are legal, but documents must be translated and processed in advance.
We will help you navigate all of this, ensuring you feel confident and supported from day one.
Embrace the Culture: Meaningful Traditions & Touches
We love weaving in regional traditions to give your celebration a true sense of place. Some of our favourites:
- Spain: Incorporate a “mantilla” veil or a live flamenco guitarist during cocktail hour.
- Italy: Add a classic Italian confetti bar (sugared almonds) or a romantic aperitivo hour under the olive trees.
- Portugal: Toast with Vinho Verde or treat your guests to a traditional fado performance during dinner.
These thoughtful details transform your wedding from a simple event into an unforgettable experience.
Beyond the Wedding Day: Multi-Day Celebrations
Destination weddings are more than a day, they are a shared adventure. We help you design an itinerary your guests will rave about, such as:
- Welcome Dinner in a private wine cellar or countryside estate
- Group Excursions like cooking classes in Lisbon, vineyard tours in Chianti, or sailing in Mallorca
- Farewell Brunch at a clifftop villa or charming seaside café
Each element is carefully curated to match your vision, your style, and the pace you want to set for your celebration.
Your Investment:
Custom planning packages begin at $8,500, with final pricing determined by the scope of your celebration.

This is your moment to gather your loved ones in one of the most romantic regions in the world, and to celebrate in a way that feels authentically you. With Tracey M Events, your destination wedding will be stylish, seamless, and full of soul.
