Floristry
No wedding is complete without flowers and our florist Dawne has over 25 years experience in wedding floristry. Having retired after running five florist shops in Bristol, Dawne could not resist becoming involved with floristry again and now produces wedding floral designs for many weddings on the Costa Blanca. Click on the examples of her work to get an insight into what we can do for you, or tell Dawne what you require.
Dawne's most favorite of all events are weddings. She loves to design magical settings echoing the personality of the bride and groom and giving a perfect environment within which to celebrate a union.
Dawne loves to use roses, lilies, orchids and the more exotic flowers, along with candles, rose petals, fruit, pebbles and seashells, where her designs are refreshing, different and exciting. To view more of her work click here.
Photography
Andrew J. Filipowicz, a wedding photographer in Spain who also covers the whole of Europe, is fast gaining a reputation as one of the most exciting photographers on the East Coast of Spain, the Costa Blanca. His work is a breath of fresh air as it is natural and apart from a few set pieces which you may require his shots are un-posed in a photo journalistic style and capture the moment far more effectively than staged pictures. He will move unobtrusively amongst the guests before, during and after the ceremony and you will be delighted, amazed and surprised with all the captured moments which will reflect the true joy and romanticism of your wedding.
Pictures are forever and your wedding album is the first heirloom of a new family. When the music has stopped and all the guests have gone home your wedding photos will remind you of how wonderful your wedding day really was. Click here for examples of Andrew's work.

Wedding cars
We have our own silver S Class Mercedes that you can use, but we also can provide you with an open sports car or a Rolls Royce
Minister
The reverend Eddie Martens is a minister who has retired to Spain but conducts ceremonies in this area for the protestant faith. Because of difficulties involved in trying to arrange church marriages, couples usually have a civil ceremony in Britain or Ireland and have a blessing in church here which Eddie does with both sincerity and humor. It is less complicated for the Catholic faith and indeed many weddings take place each year. A local priest in a nearby town is happy to marry British and Irish couples and we can put you in touch if required. Likewise many catholic couples get married elsewhere and have a blessing here in Spain followed by a reception for all their friends and family at Rebate.
Hair and beauty treatment
This can be arrange with one of the top salons in the Torrevieja area either at you hotel or home or at their premises.
Accommodation
We recommend the 4* La Zenia hotel as being good value for money. It has excellent facilities while remaining friendly and approachable. The commercial manager Pilar is extremely helpful and speaks very good English. We can however also provide other sites including self catering apartments which are ideal for guests and family to enjoy your big day and maybe a short holiday at reasonable prices.
Legal paperwork
Is not required at all for blessings or vow renewal. For legal weddings there are forms to be filled and we can provide someone to guide you through that, but it is much simpler to marry at home and have a blessing and the celebration here.
