5/15/24 Casa Felix

We got married on May 15, 2024, in beautiful Sitges, Barcelona, and thanks to Val, our wedding was truly beyond perfect. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, organized, and always a calming presence. On the big day, everything felt completely stress-free — which is honestly the best gift a planner can give!

As with any wedding, a few things didn’t go exactly as planned, but Val handled every hiccup with such grace and efficiency that we didn’t even notice anything was off. She made us feel supported every step of the way, and it was clear how much care and love she put into every detail.

I highly, highly recommend Val to anyone looking for a wedding planner in Spain. We feel so lucky to have had her by our side and honestly wish we could do it all over again.

Thank you Val!

With love,
The Garcias

Amazing!!!

Getting married in another country can initially seem daunting. However, Val’s knowledge and communications made the entire planning process easy, enjoyable and stress-free. Val was warm, friendly and supportive throughout, as well as having a natural ability to understand us and what we’d like.
Val and the team were so professional on the day and kept everything running like clockwork. They are truly brilliant at what they do and they made the wedding of our dreams into a reality. Thank you :)

The BEST wedding thanks to Weddings Via Val

Choosing to use Valerie to help plan our wedding in Sitges in November 2024 was the best decision! We came to her with the timeline of wanting to have our wedding in about 6 months, and she was confident that she'd not only be able to pull it off, but it wouldn't be an issue at all to plan in such a tight timeframe! And she was right! Valerie was with us each step of the way, understanding our vision, providing recommendations for each aspect- from venue, to catering, music, lighting, etc! We were unable to visit the venue or attend the tasting, so she stepped in and took care of all the in person items on our behalf.
On the day of the wedding, the weather wasn't exactly cooperating so she had multiple plans in place and consulted with me, but ultimately made the right decisions for the day without adding any stress as I got ready and prepared for the day!! She helped us with our welcome party and day after party as well. Everything was absolutely perfect and I 100% recommend Valerie if you are planning a wedding in Sitges.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
