We can’t thank Lucy and Jesus enough for everything they did in making our wedding so incredible. From the very first Skype call with Lucy we felt totally at ease and trusted that she shared our visions for our wedding and understood what was important to us. We had a fantastic time in Spain when we went to view our shortlisted venues, and Lucy was very honest; pointing out the highlights and potential drawbacks of each, as well as what we’d need to be aware of to make our wedding achievable within our budget. In the run up to the wedding Lucy and Jesus did so much to pull it together, both in terms of logistics and the incredible styling and design (including a last minute run to get blankets the day before). Our wedding day was beyond a dream, we are so thankful for the efforts of Lucy and Jesus on the lead up, and on the day. We were so comfortable and confident in them that it meant we could really relax and focus on having the best day with all our family and friends. Lucy and Jesus thank you so much for everything you did for us. We’ll never forgot you and hope to see you on our next visit out to Spain. Rebecca & Ben

“It was always our dream to have a destination wedding weekend in Vejer de la Frontera, a hill top town in Andalusia we fell in love with… Lucy and Jesus made that dream a reality for us! Over 18 months they planned and organised the best weekend of our lives, it could not have been more perfect from start to finish and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more.
From the first time we met Lucy and Jesus on a venue search, we knew that they understood our vision and we instantly felt at ease with them. From endless calls and emails to meetings in Spain they worked tirelessly to plan, design and style our wedding day, going to great lengths to make sure all of our ideas and visions became a reality and believe me we had a lot!
I will be the first to admit, I was a demanding bride with lots of creative ideas and Lucy was so patient throughout the whole process guiding me along and keeping me calm. I was blown away on the day how every element came together thanks to the work of Lucy and Jesus and all of the wonderful suppliers they recommended. Even with gusts of very strong levante wind, every detail was perfectly in place including the most spectacular flower arch.
It’s really difficult to put into words just how grateful we are for the time and work Lucy and Jesus put into our wedding. It was the most magical weekend and we have the best memories that will last a lifetime. So many of our friends and family have asked if we can do it all over again and we only wish we could!
I would absolutely without any hesitation recommend The Boutique Wedding Co to anybody thinking of planning a wedding in Spain, they truly are the DREAM TEAM!”

Lucy and Jesus went above and beyond for our wedding in Granada in September 2018. Lucy only had a couple of months to put our vision into action and she did so flawlessly. Lucy took the time on calls and emails to understand what we wanted and under the time constraints, it was definitely not an easy task. Without her experience, we would have been lost.
The location, the food, the atmosphere on the wedding day and her relentless guidance in implementing our vision was clearly understood from our very first call and I would have not had a destination wedding within a destination if it wasn’t for her skills, knowledge and expertise. Although it was a small wedding, it required a lot of planning and logistics (trains, buses, taxis) since we are based in Madrid and the wedding took place in Granada. She never complained and never uttered the words “impossible, or can’t be done”. She always found a way to make things happen and we are thankful.
When it came to implementing our vision, setting a reasonable budget and providing us with options of what we were looking for, she did so perfectly and enthusiastically. Lucy and Jesus went above and beyond our expectations and Jorge and I will be forever grateful in making this day so special and unforgettable.
I would highly recommend them for any wedding (small, big, elopement etc) because you will not only enjoy planning the wedding process, but you will never forget this special day.
Norma and Nicklas
Amazing! Lucy and Jesus made our dream come through! We were working with them for almost a year to create the wedding of our dreams, and they exceeded every expectation we had. Every little detail -from flower to schedule – was perfect.They even managed to deal with the weather gods to have the rain clear up for our big day! Our warmest recommendations!
Beth and Tom
I must start with a huge THANK YOU! Being from New Zealand, living in the UK and getting married in Spain we knew we needed a wedding planner for our wedding in Ronda. We could not have been more fortunate to have found Lucy and Jesus and to have them plan our wedding day. I cannot thank them enough for all of the hard work and many hours they put in to make our dreams a reality. Lucy is so incredibly talented and creative and bought every idea I had to life to make the most perfect day. From the recommendations for suppliers, keeping an up to date and accurate budget sheet for us, the lovely friendly skype chats we would have and for all the behind the scenes work Lucy and Jesus did, all of this made for very minimal wedding stress and a beautiful day. Our guests and family all commented on how much they loved our wedding day, and it would not have been possible without Lucy and Jesus! Anybody would be lucky to work with two such lovely people who are so passionate about their work. THANK YOU!
Kaz and Luke
It’s so hard to put in to words everything that Lucy & Jesus at The Boutique Wedding Co. did for us – we had the MOST amazing wedding in Spain thanks to the wealth of experience they have and the hours of hard work they put in! From finding us the dream venue – exactly what I had described in my head – and from styling and decorating the venue to make it look like like our vision, we just couldn’t have done any of it without them. We must have asked a million questions on our skype calls, Lucy is so patient, I trusted them both from the first call that we had – I knew they were really listening to me and any weird request I had was noted without judgement. I have never seen 2 people work so hard on the day of our wedding, we only had 60 guests but it was so reassuring to have them there running our day and it massively took the pressure off of us. Whatever or wherever you want your wedding to be, regardless of how big or small, traditional or not – I have no doubt that Lucy and Jesus will make it happen for you. They are completely professional, amazing at what they do and I can’t recommend them enough. For a wedding in Spain I wouldn’t hesitate in working with them!! Luke and Kaz 10.06.18
Christina and Kevin
Our Wedding Day in Spain was honestly the best day of our lives, and so much of that is down to Lucy and Jesus – they planned a day that absolutely catered to our personalities and which completely surpassed our expectations. The decision of who to choose as a wedding planner is possibly the most important decision you’ll make when planning a wedding abroad, however it was probably one of our easiest! After our first consultation with Lucy, we felt very assured that she knew exactly what we wanted and how to make it happen. She really took the time, not only to understand what we wanted for our wedding, but also to understand who we were as people, what we were like as a couple and about out tastes generally. During the planning process, they really did go over and above to make sure every detail was just as we wanted it. They also have an extensive network of people who they trust and enjoy working with. Everyone involved in our wedding was fantastic and had only good things to say about working with Lucy and Jesus. Lucy was also great when it came to styling ideas, and we really valued her opinion on aspects which we hadn’t even considered! The day itself was beautifully relaxed and just perfect for us. It went so smoothly, however we knew that this was no accident and that Lucy and Jesus were working so hard behind the scenes. So many of our guests commented on how great and approachable our planners were, and we genuinely felt very lucky to have them on board. We would absolutely recommend The Boutique Wedding Co. to anyone wanting to get married in the beautiful Andalucia region. Lucy and Jesus both work so hard and have so much dedication to what they do. They’re great people, always enthusiastic and positive, and as well as making sure you have a great time on your Wedding Day, they will also endeavour to make the planning process enjoyable and stress-free too! Thank you both so so much!
Chad and Anna
If you are having a wedding in the south of Spain you have to speak to the Boutique Wedding Co. Lucy and Jesus take the time to get to know you as a couple and design a wedding to suit the couple. They provide open, honest communication throughout the process and make planning the special day easy and allowed us to enjoy the whole experience. They have fantastic taste and style, but more importantly they can adapt to suit your requirements. The personal approach that they take helps to make you feel at ease and you can tell they genuinely care about the couple and making sure they have the best day possible.
Elise and Balder
Lucy and Jesus helped us to plan and organize our wedding this past September, and we really couldn’t recommend them enough. The day exceeded our expectations on so many fronts, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Lucy did a fantastic job in terms of capturing the look and feel that we were going for, and they both made sure that every last detail was taken care. On the day of, they quietly ran around and made sure that everything went according to plan (without anyone noticing), which allowed us to genuinely relax and enjoy our day with our friends and family and not worry about anything. We really did have the most amazing day!
Hilary and Kieren
You know you have picked the best wedding planner when friends and family ask how you’ve appeared so calm throughout the planning of the wedding and on the day… Well let me tell you about the Boutique Wedding Co.
When looking for a wedding planner, you hope for quality service, a good network, and knowledge. With the Boutique Wedding Co. they surpassed every expectation and more. Their level of service has been unparalleled, they listened intently to our vision and used their inherently creative dispositions and passion to really ensure every detail was thoroughly thought through. Our wedding was beautiful.
Their network of contacts was so impressive, we were never left wanting for choices. Even when asking for something a little random and left-field, the Boutique Wedding Co. have done it before and have exactly the right contact in mind. Our guests are still talking about how special our catering and music was!
As local experts in Spain, they know exactly what needs to be considered and by when. When it comes to accommodation, organising pre-wedding dinners and transport their expertise made this a seamless and stress-free process.
The Boutique Wedding Co. were excellent, an embodiment of a professional and personal service. To truly understand this, let me share a small exert of our day:
It was an August morning in Spain and we had planned an almost entirely outdoors event. Despite over a decade of scorching hot sun during this month of the year; as we peeled back the curtains – nothing but cloudy skies were in sight. A quick message from Lucy read: “Happy wedding morning! Looking forward to the wonderful day ahead!” – not a mention of the grim skyline. What I didn’t know at the time was that Lucy and Jesus were furiously brainstorming back-up plans should the threatening sky unleash. As the morning turned to afternoon, the weather had not improved. Whilst my bridesmaids and I were busy getting ready, Lucy had already racked up 10,000 steps on her fitness tracker and had been navigating the army of vendors that had arrived – sorting various pieces out whilst keeping everything undercover. All the while, keeping me calm and ensuring that the day was going to be great. The rain continued. When Lucy had to broach the subject of the weather – she did so with grace and reassurance – not any easy conversation to have with clients. We had decided to keep it outside. Once we had made that decision, not once did Lucy try to talk us out of it or make us feel nervous. She was soothing and comforting. As it happened, shortly after we made the decision to stay outside, the rain stopped. Whilst the weather was calm, my nerves were not. As I became increasingly nervous – Lucy was there on hand reassuring me. Whilst this would usually be the role of the bridesmaids or mother of the bride, Lucy was truly the expert – without her, I wouldn’t have had any mascara left on. Needless to say the rest of the day was a success, truly a testament to the Boutique Wedding Co. – Thank you so much for creating the most memorable day of our lives.
Nathaniel and Jess
Creation of the most perfect experience, with wonderful memories that will stay with us for a lifetime!! I honestly couldn’t put in to words how Lucy and Jesus made our wedding the most magical, enjoyable and memorable time we could have ever wished for. Every detail was perfect, the engagement process was about getting to know what we are like as people and then through their many years of expertise they channelled that into our crafting our special day. With recommendations, insights on vendors and their pros and cons we couldn’t have wished to be more informed about which choice to make. There is plenty to think about when organising a wedding, but their easy step by step guide meant there was never a need to worry unnecessarily about what to do next or if we had missed something. To use another Company in Spain to organise your wedding would be to do your lifelong memory a disservice. Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed our wedding still, so its not just our word that they are superheroes. 10 stars!
Elle and Adam
Lucy and Jesus from The Boutique Wedding Co organised our wedding at Fain Viejo in September 2017. Having them both there to plan, organise and look after all of the tiny details took the pressure off us so much and allowed us to be able to focus on having a great time with our guests. We’ve had so many people commenting to us that it was the most beautiful, fun and smoothly organised wedding they have ever been too – we have Lucy and Jesus to thank so much for that! It was great to see all of the details come to together and we were really happy with everything looked and felt. Thank you!
Rebecca and Kevin
We would recommend Lucy and Jesus from The Boutique Wedding Co. without hesitation to anyone wanting to plan a wedding in Spain!
They are true professionals and experts in what they do. From the very first phone call until post-wedding follow-ups, the pride and individual care Lucy and Jesus have for each wedding is remarkable and consistent! Lucy’s passion and talent for her work is apparent and infectious. From the very beginning, she took time to listen to us, and she knew the right questions to ask to shape our various ideas into one cohesive concept. All this was done, even before we signed on as clients! Lucy gave honest feedback on our requests, so we could start coming up with a real and workable plan for our special day. Lucy’s honesty confirmed to us that she was genuinely interested in helping bring our big day into reality. We were excited when we made the final decision to work with this team and didn’t regret our decision for a second.
Throughout the planning, Lucy and Jesus managed to make the process fun, while staying organized and on top of details we didn’t know existed. We’ve heard horror stories about couples spending months or years consumed by wedding planning mayhem, but Lucy worked through any minor detail or glitch gracefully and professionally. She kept us up to date on and involved in planning progress, answered all our emails quickly and provided endless suggestions for the most minute details. All of which made our wedding truly unique. Lucy and Jesus are well connected with great vendors and other industry professionals (e.g. hair/makeup, music, flowers, video) and they matched us with the right people to suit our style and wedding.
While our ceremony/reception setting was gorgeous, Lucy and Jesus’ eye for style and design took everything to a completely new level. No photos could ever truly capture how magical everything looked. We put our trust in their guidance and expertise, and it completely paid off. In addition to all the hard work they put into the planning, Lucy and Jesus absolutely shone when it comes to “Day-of” coordination. Nearly all our guests commented that our planners were on the go, organized and pleasant/professional from start til finish. As a couple, we enjoyed our wedding so much more, knowing that our guests were well looked after. The whole day went off without a hitch and we can honestly say that we could not have done it without such a great team. Lucy and Jesus helped us organize an utterly spectacular day which has provided us and our families with happy memories for years to come.
With Love Rebecca and Kevin xx
Saskia and Sam
Hi both,
Hope all is well
Where to begin…I cant really describe how amazing the whole weekend was! It was more magical than we could have hoped, and the dream of a ‘colourful spanish fiesta’ was truly surpassed. All of the guests were blown away by the thought and detail that had gone into every touch, and so many told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
We can’t thank you both enough for all of your hard work and energy throughout the entire process, helping turn our ideas into reality, being so patient and really caring about our big day just as much as we did. Sam and I agree that working with you both was the best decision we made throughout the entire process and truly would have lost our marbles if we didn’t have you there guiding us and making it all come together so beautifully.
We feel sad that our journey has come to an end but excited to see the other amazing wedding you will continue to create!
Desperate to see our official snaps too!
Very best
Sas and Sam Braacx-Markham x

Lucy and Jesus were fantastic from the first moment we spoke to them. Their range of contacts and supply partners were all exceptional, which ensured that we had an amazing day. Their planning and execution meant that we could completely enjoy the occasion. They designed the whole day and worked tirelessly to make sure it was a huge success. We can’t thank them enough. The event was everything we’d hoped it would be, and so much more. It wouldn’t have been possible without their incredible service.
Thank you so much
Matthew and Melissa

Dear Lucy & Jesus,
We are back in (very rainy!) Ireland and have finally caught our breath after the most wonderful wedding weekend imaginable, mostly thanks to you both. From the very beginning, we were assured of a fantastic wedding, of everything we could have dreamed and that was what you both created.
Thank you both, from the bottom of our hearts, for all the emails, skype calls, visits, telephone calls and whatsapp messages in the quest to organise our Big Day!
The day itself was magical – the decor was everything we imagined and more, the setting so beautiful with the lake and mountains in the background, the sun setting as we sat down to dinner; everybody was in awe! I know we had to battle severe heat, extra parasols, gallons of water, delays and the tedious job of ‘herding’ Irish people from one area to another – no mean feat (!) but you pulled it off in style! The welcome signs, table plan and directions board were so creative. the flowers were so so beautiful, the table settings with the personalised name cards and rosemary sprigs was divine, candles everywhere, the food was delicious, the lighting was perfect, the band were magical and the DJ brought the house down!!
All in all, we owe a massive thank you to you both – like I said in my speech, every flower, petal, chair etc was individually placed by you both and it was everything I (we!) could ever have imagined. On top of all that, the organisation and admin that had been undertaken behind the scenes from organising flowers, photographers, videographers, venues, catering, busses (including Jesus pulling a bus permit for Ronda out of the bag!), taking care of all costings, furniture, band, DJ, etc etc – the list goes on and on. THANK YOU!
The paella the next day was also a massive hit – setting up in the courtyard was fantastic, the food once again beautiful and running the open bar for the following day was the best thing that very nearly didn’t happen!
All in all, you were both fantastic, I would recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding planner in Spain!
I’m so sad that our wedding is over – it truly was the best day of our lives – but I’m also sad that we won’t be in weekly catch ups with you guys. I know we won’t have to be emailing about wedding admin but we would very much like to keep in touch with you both.
Love Elle and Killian
Krista and Graeme
Lucy planned our wedding which was held in Southern Spain in June 2017. We approached her 12 months before our event date for a comprehensive search and source assignment as we didn’t know much about venues or how to approach it given we live in the U.K. Lucy provided us with a very detailed search outcome for venues across the region. She was concise and offered great insight into the venue, catering, accommodation, DJ’s, bands, decor, flowers and so much more. She was attentive, patient, caring and professional through our engagement and the numerous Skype calls we had leading up to our day. She handled all sourcing and procurement across all aspects of our day and was always available for a chat or questions. Our day was nothing short of spectacular and Lucy surpassed our expectations on all levels. She teams up with her husband Jesus and they make a fantastic partnership together. They both arrived early to set up proceedings and ensured the whole day worked in symphony and to military precision. We couldn’t recommend Lucy and Jesus enough, they are the gold standard of wedding planning in the region, full of passion and the perfect partner in reaching your matrimonial Spanish wedding dreams!
Thank you so much!
Krista and Graeme
Hannah and Phill
When my husband and I decided to get married we knew one thing: we didn’t want it to be conventional! Our main aim was to strip back all of the usual traditions and trimmings—the elements that turn good people into crazy, stressed people—and throw the most epic party for our closest friends and family. We knew instantly, upon that first Skype chat, that Lucy and Jesus would be the calm, cool, fun and understanding wedding planners to make our ambition a reality. From day one we probably threw the most irritating challenges their way (NO floral arch! NO bridesmaids! NO cake! NO decorations apart from some balloons that are almost impossible to pin to the ground in a windy part of Spain, let alone consider the cost and effort of the helium required! NO cute things whatsoever! And so on!) but Lucy was eternally gracious and full of brilliant, creative ways to work around everything we did, and didn’t, want. Throughout our 18 month-long process we always felt comfortable and reassured that we could reach out and ask even the most inane questions—the patience and enthusiasm these two possess is truly impressive. Their dedication, focus and quality time spent on us would make you imagine they have no other weddings to plan, which couldn’t be further from the truth. From the detailed first steps behind finding a venue (we had such a fantastic list of options, it was hard to decide) through to accompanying us on an incredible food tasting (seriously, Gusto is to die for) we never felt stranded in the wilderness of wedding planning. On the day itself we relaxed, sat back, blinked and everything was already set up: Lucy and Jesus make it seem like magic, but I cannot stress how hard they work to fulfill your dream and enable you to not sweat the small stuff. Our wedding blew my expectations out of the water—it was so fun and so perfectly arranged for everyone’s enjoyment that we had many friends and family members telling us in all honesty it was the best wedding they had ever experienced. I was on such a high throughout our 3 day-long extravaganza that I spent most of the following day crying that it was over, and feeling desperate to relive it again—and this, coming from someone who was never, ever bothered about even having a wedding, is pretty major. I even miss just having our regular catch-ups with Lucy over the internet… Maybe we should renew our vows in Vejer next year?!
With love Hannah and Phill x
Amanda and Jason
Having Lucy and Jesus at The Boutique Wedding Co plan our wedding in Spain this past May was undoubtedly the best decision we made. Lucy was the first and last wedding planner to whom we spoke. From the first introductory Skype call to the last chat before we flew out to Spain for the festivities, Lucy was unwavering in her enthusiasm and commitment in planning the wedding of our dreams.
Throughout the 9 months leading up to the wedding, my husband and I were in different countries more often than not, and Lucy always accommodated our ridiculous tri-continent time zone differences (US, Europe and Asia) for our monthly calls. No questions were too many and no details were too small for them during the planning stages – Lucy and Jesus were truly incredibly patient and helpful. Their vendor, decor, and general recommendations were spot on – whether it be in choosing a DJ, finding the best bodega for sherry tasting or picking the color of straws. We trusted in their taste wholly and unconditionally – and our wedding turned out to be everything and more!!
For both days of our wedding festivities, we can truly say we had no worries whatsoever. The events ran without any hiccups (if there were, we certainly had no idea and that is a testament to Lucy and Jesus’ work!) and all the details came together beautifully. Our friends and family have told us many times over how wonderful the wedding was and how they all loved Lucy! We are forever grateful to Lucy and Jesus for giving us such a lovely wedding & creating such wonderful memories. We cannot recommend them enough, and one needs to look no further if planning a wedding in the south of Spain! They are simply the best!!
Thank you so very much Lucy and Jesus! xx
Alina and Andrei
When we decided to get married in Spain our friends & family said we were crazy. However, since our first consultation skype with Lucy we knew that we will be taken care of and that our wedding will be perfect. Truthfully, planning a wedding abroad is hard. Different time zone, different language, and different currency. Lucy made it so easy. I have to admit that we were not worried about a thing, as Lucy has so many ideas & plans, along with phenomenal taste, and a great amount of experience. All the vendors that she recommended were great – we really enjoyed working with every single one of them. Our wedding & welcome party were absolutely amazing! Better than we could ever imagine, and our parents & friends are still talking about it. We were so lucky to find Lucy & Jesus, thank you! PS: A lot of our friends are thinking about destination weddings, and we always suggest the south of Spain & Boutique Wedding Co. :).
Kate and Phil
We used The Boutique Wedding Co for our wedding last year at Casa La Siesta and we had a fantastic experience with them. They were very patient and helpful in the lead up with lots of suggestions and recommendations of how best to run the day. The wedding day itself was absolutely fantastic, Lucy & Jesus could not have done more to make it extra special. The venue looked stunning and all the different elements of the day ran smoothly. We would highly recommend them for a stunning wedding experience
Thank you so much Mr and Mrs Sancto!
Melanie and Matthew
Dear Lucy and Jesus
Now that the dust has settled and we are back at work and the last bit of rose has left our system, we wanted to send an email to say thank you for everything. We know that there were quite a few challenges on the day that would have been better if they didn’t happen (wind, children, hairdressers, electricity….) but it is to your credit that I only found out about them afterwards when everything was sorted.
I genuinely can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and effort. You are an amazing team and achieve incredible things in quite stressful circumstances. We are so excited to get the photos and the video to catch up on all the bits we missed. Everyone you recommended to us on the day was brilliant and I hope you have made a great new contact with Liza, the girls makeup was certainly the talk of the evening!
I’m so sad that our time has come to an end, it seems so long ago that I found the floral heart on Pinterest!, but feel excited for the new brides and grooms who you will create magical days for. I will follow all your social media boards with interest to see what you are up to.
With love and very heartfelt thanks and best wishes
Mr and Mrs Jones xx

Hi Lucy and Jesus,
Apologies for the delayed thank you but this was the biggest thank you I was saving.
Thank you both SO much for all your amazing support and ultimately most beautiful wedding on the day,
WOW it’s so hard to put into words how truly incredible the whole experience was – people always said that your wedding is the best day of your life but you never really believe that until it happens. You really translated all my ideas into reality and turned the hacienda into the venue of dreams. We’ve had lots of feedback to say it was the most beautiful wedding people had been to and the temple with the floral circle of love looked incredible – i wish i could go back and relive the moment watching it as a spectator. You really did do such a tremendous job and i can safely say it would have been a very different experience had i not found you – good old Google!
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO MUCH again for everything – it feels strange not being in daily contact!
Here is our official review:
We got married at Hacienda San Rafael and had the most amazing few days thanks to The Boutique Wedding Co who helped organise the festivities. I couldn’t have asked for a better team around us who helped create the exact wedding we had envisaged. I worked collaboratively with both the venue and Lucy and Jesus from The Boutique Wedding Co to plan the whole weekend – i really couldn’t have done it without their help. Lucy helped bring to reality even our most left field ideas and everything was done so effortlessly. Even though i myself work in events, i completely trusted Lucy and Jesus to style and dress the wedding without having to do any work myself on the day which is so key when you’re getting married. I’ve seen far too many couples work up until the 11th hour to get something done on the actual day of their wedding which i think devalues the experience for them. Lucy and i were also able to plan the wedding together long distance very easily and she always replied to my e-mails/texts/calls straight away. I really couldn’t have done it without their help and i am very lucky to have found The Boutique Wedding Co online. Our friends still talk about the wedding and i am sure we will be back there in the coming years to throw another party!
Love Andrea and George x

Dear Lucy and Jesus,
Where do we begin! We have to start by saying a huge thank you and expressing our heartfelt appreciation for the critical part you played in making our wedding day so special.
From the moment we starting speaking to you and came out to Spain to meet you, we immediately warmed to you and admired your passion for what you do. It was an easy decision to hire you as our wedding planner and we have not looked back – we have so enjoyed meeting you and getting to know you over the last 2 years and hope to stay in touch!
One thing we have loved about having you as our wedding planner is that you strive to make each wedding unique and personal to each couple. You took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted our wedding day to be, and then made it even better than we could have imagined!
Throughout the wedding planning process you have been super organised, calm and in control – as a couple planning our wedding from abroad this is exactly what we needed you to be as it reassured us that everything was in order and safe in your hands. You have been so responsive at all times, keeping us up to date and making sure we were always on track. Even though we are sure you have been very busy, you always treated us as a priority and never ever rushed us. In fact, you have spent countless hours talking to us on Skype and over email and you have maintained your passion and energy throughout – frankly you have had the patience of a saint working with us for the last 2 years!
You created a venue shortlist for us based on our specification which led to us finding our dream wedding venue. Casa la Siesta is truly a magical place and was everything we wanted for our wedding and more. We really enjoyed visiting the venues with you and sharing your company over some wonderful lunches too!
You have such a brilliant eye for style and are totally up to date with modern wedding trends. All of the styling of our wedding was so beautiful and tastefully put together. Your calligraphy skills are also amazing! You did such a fantastic job with our wedding stationery, the seating chart and hand written place cards were so authentic and stylish and you must have put a great deal of time and care into creating these for us.
We were reliant on you to help us source all of our vendors from photographer to DJ to hair and make up artists, flowers and cake etc. We trusted all of your recommendations – which paid off massively! We were honestly so happy with everything and your advice and guidance was invaluable to us. Not only did you source the vendors for us but you organised everything so efficiently, making sure our requirements were understood perfectly by all and that a smooth schedule ran on the day itself – this took all of the stress away from us, leaving us to simply enjoy our day to the fullest.
On the day itself both you and Jesus were fantastic. You worked so hard dressing the venue and setting up various areas, we especially loved our fabulous dessert station and polaroid photobooth. You also coordinated all of the vendors and make sure the wedding ran perfectly in our eyes. If there were any issues they were dealt with discreetly by you without us even noticing. It felt like you were always one step ahead and anticipated what we might need before we even realised it – just amazing!
Many of our guests commented on how wonderful you were and it was a pleasure to have you play a part in our wedding. We cannot recommend you highly enough and think that any couple would be lucky to have you as their wedding planner!
Wishing you much success in the future – you really deserve it!
With love,
Emma & Rob Barton xxxx
Natalie and Marty
Hi Lucy and Jesus!
So great to hear from you! We’ve been absolutely loving being married – it’s been so much fun so far! We’re both so happy and have even planned a second honeymoon to Thailand for January next year. I keep joking that we could keep taking honeymoons forever!
Marty and I have actually been meaning to email you to thank you for all of your hard work that you put into the wedding. It was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have done it without you!
We really appreciate all of your support, advice and recommendations throughout the planning – all of the vendors you recommended were absolutely spot on. I absolutely loved Lottie and Linda (we had such a ball at the trial and before the wedding with all of the girls), Matt McGurk and the flamenco show were beautiful, the food from Gusto Marbella was so delicious and Ryan Fuller and the electric saxophonist were an absolute highlight! The dance floor saxophone is really something we haven’t stopped talking about and a memory we will definitely remember for many years to come! That’s not to mention all of the other vendors you liaised with on our behalf – the florist, the calligrapher.
We would also highly recommend for your other weddings Natasha (she was wonderful and made the ceremony so relaxed and fun which was just what we wanted), and Mireia and Pedro who were just so much fun (we’ve seen a couple of the ‘sneak peak’ pictures from the wedding and they are looking amazing!).
We (and all of our guests) couldn’t believe how hard you and the team worked in the lead up to, and on our wedding day. Marty and I absolutely loved getting to know you and Jesus throughout the process and there was a little part of me that was sad when you left the day after the wedding because it had been just so wonderful working with you.
We’d love to write you a testimonial for your website and do anything else we can to help your business. We both think you charge way too little for the hard work that you do, and we feel lucky that we were able to work with you before too many people find out how wonderful you are. I expect you’ll be fully booked out for the next few years and many more after that!
Lots of love,
Nat and Marty

Dear Lucy and Jesus,
We wanted to wish you all the best in this coming year and thank you again for your help with our wedding. Though we are a bit removed from the big day, we wanted to take the time to really express our gratitude. From our first Skype call, you eased our worries about long distance planning and gave us confidence. You immediately showed a vested interest in us, who we were, and the kind of wedding we wanted. Because of this, our wedding truly reflected us and exceeded what we envisioned. Thank you for the months of planning and fitting our busy schedules into your even busier ones. Thank you for helping make our big day as special and as memorable as it was. We could not have done it without you both. We wish you the best of luck in your weddings this year, though we are sure you won’t need it.
All the best Tricia and KC

´Despite a number of trips to Spain, we really needed help with finding good suppliers and Lucy Bennett at The Boutique Wedding Co in Spain (together with her partner Jesús) was invaluable help. Lucy was our girl on the
ground, filling her car to the brim with candles, flowers, pomegranates (not easy to hunt down in June, months before the fruits come into season), hurricane vases, easels, signage and even props for a Moorish themed chill out area. And despite all of that she didn’t squash the piñata she sourced for us and filled with glow sticks!”
“We had a great time getting to know Lucy and Jesús during an impromptu bar crawl in Granada one cold March night. Lucy quickly got the look and vibe I was going for and was our trusted guide to suppliers and the sometimes very different ways in which suppliers work over there. She was also realistic and knew which things were just not going to be available (or available within budget) in Spain.”
“Lucy and Jesús worked incredibly hard to help realise our vision, not only on the design side but also liaising with a coach provider to make sure that the guests were picked up from central Granada and helping to secure a great bar in the old Albaicin quarter of Granada for our welcome drinks on the Friday before the wedding.
My personal highlight was probably seeing the chapel for the first time, which Lucy had beautifully decorated with dozens of candles in hurricane vases along the aisle, which was scattered with orange and cream petals.”

Hi Lucy and Jesus,
Thank you both so so much for everything you did, leading up and on the day, to make our wedding day so great and special for us. You both brought the dream we had to life, something crucial when you are so far away, so massive thank you!! Your kindness and input into our wedding will stay with us forever.
Right from the first Skype call you made us fall in love with your enthusiasm and pure passion. The ideas you gave were beautiful without you ever pushing us. You made what we described come to life and kept everything so unique.
Looking back when you drove us to see venues and came to our tasting, you must have been inundated with emails and work, but we never felt any less than your top priority.
At the tasting you provided your ideas and support with no pressure. We really felt as if we were out for dinner with 2 great friends 🙂
The day was beautiful – your friendly nature also made our family and friends so comfortable. You were on call for everything but I’m sure did problem solving to, but we never noticed a thing.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so memorable and perfect. Words can’t even start to express the ease and beauty of the process. We will never ever forget the part you played in our wedding.
We are thinking of you both so much and everyone who mentions our wedding also mentions how great you guys are, so thank you again.
Here is our Testimonial for you!
Lucy and Jesus gave us the wedding of our dreams – right from the venue searching to the day, and beyond (Lucy even offered to take my wedding dress back and organise me a courier to the UK!!) no job/idea was ever to small. I could not recommend this company enough – they personalised every detail in line with our ideas, and made our dream day happen – the biggest thank you – best of luck making people as happy as you made us – we know these two can do it 🙂 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Much love,
J & R xxx

Dear Lucy and Jesus,
We just got back to Dubai yesterday after a few days of rest and relaxation in and around Andalusia (excepting our hike to the top of Mulhacén which was quite tough!)
Thanks very much for your email and of course all your hard work and optimism throughout the last 10 months of wedding planning! We can’t believe how quickly time flew by and now our wedding is a wonderful memory that we will cherish forever.
We enjoyed every single moment of our wedding week and of course, the grand finale which was our Wedding Day was perfect in our minds. All the details were beautiful and we wish we had more time to admire each element in full, but we’re looking forward to being able to see it all in the photos and video when we get them.
Our friends and family all had an amazing time as well and we feel so blessed that our wedding turned out exactly as the celebration of our family bonds and friendships that we envisioned from the beginning.
We feel very lucky to have had The Boutique Wedding Co. as our wedding planners and are delighted to hear that you enjoyed all the different cultural elements, though it meant for a longer work day for sure!
Thanks again and all the best wishes, we will definitely keep in touch!
Here is our Official Testimonial:
We feel very lucky to have had The Boutique Wedding Co. as our wedding planners for our wedding in Malaga, Spain in June of 2016. Throughout the 10 months of wedding planning, Lucy and Jesus were attentive, responsive and professional – from the venue selection, to planning the details of the wedding, and of course setting up and co-ordinating everything on the wedding day itself. In particular, our wedding venue (Castillo de Santa Catalina) had decided quite last moment that they would book another wedding on the day prior to ours, although we had already booked the venue for two days, months in advance. This could have been a disaster as our wedding day involved two ceremonies and we had planned an early start, whereas having another wedding the day prior would mean that the wedding party before us would only check out of the venue at 11am on the day of the wedding. However, Lucy and Jesus were able to negotiate with the venue to make sure that our wedding day plans were not delayed (and that we had somewhere else to stay accommodation wise the night before) and we hardly missed a beat on the day of the wedding. As this was a destination wedding, we had little knowledge of the local resources available to us. However, all the suggestions that Lucy and Jesus gave us (for bachelor and bachelorette activities, accommodation, local tours and activities for our guests, reception dinner) were exactly what we had hoped for, and our friends and family all had an amazing time in Malaga. Finally, all the elements of our wedding day came together beautifully and we could not have asked for a more perfect day! We would definitely recommend The Boutique Wedding Co. to anyone wishing to have a bespoke, beautiful and personalized wedding in the south of Spain!
With love
Alethea & Alex

Dearest Lucy and Jesus,
I hope you are both well and crushing the rest of this wedding season! I just wanted to reach out with an true letter of thanks for all you did for us on what was the best day of both our lives. It was beyond magical and carried us higher than we could even dream. Every single person walked away from our wedding saying it was the best wedding they’d ever been to because of you and Jesus’ tireless work and commitment. I could never thank you enough for crafting the most important and perfect day of our lives, it truly was everything we hoped for. (this is just an extract of the full review- to read in full please Visit the Blog Post A Heart felt Thank You.
My husband and I were married in Malaga, Spain in late May of 2016 and hired The Boutique Wedding Co. as our international coordinators approximately one year prior. I do not know where to begin or how to describe my experience with Lucy and Jesus. I am not one to typically write reviews, but with Lucy I find myself wishing there was something even more I could do to honor her hard work and dedication to our day. 5 stars does not adequately reflect the passion and commitment she shows her clients.
Living in the U.S. and attempting to plan a wedding in Spain is daunting to say the least. I was worried we wouldn’t be able to find a planner willing or able to accommodate time differences, venue searches and tastings over email, and then there’s a trust factor of “will I actually get what I think I’m getting based on photos alone?” With Lucy, this was a complete non-issue. She was up early and stayed up late to accommodate important calls; giving an incredible amount of her free time to be open and flexible with our schedules. Every email was responded to promptly and completely as possible. There was never a moment where we doubted her suggestions or worried we were getting taken advantage of. In fact, every great decision made for our wedding was her suggestion! Our photographers, band, venues, transportation, entertainment, everything she recommended in those decision making processes ended up being the absolute best choice for what we wanted.
From her site and blog alone, it is obvious Lucy has an elevated aesthetic and knows all the current trends for event styling and decor; she was un-phased by even the craziest suggestions and had ideas for our every whim, never saying something wasn’t possible without offering a solution. She is crafty and works with everything and anything at her disposal. She will scour hundreds of pins and work with you in every detail and decision until you feel 100% confident. The Boutique Wedding Co is unique in offering an intimate, curated experience. Lucy and Jesus take the time to really get to know you and your lives together; they appreciate what’s unique and special in each couple and cater themselves completely to that couple’s needs. There are hiccups and road blocks in every wedding but Lucy would do everything in her power to protect our experience. She maneuvered and fought for the bigs and found the perfect compromises for the smalls. If we felt concerned, cautious or couldn’t make a decision, she would set up a call and leave us wondering what we were ever worried about!
Looking back, Lucy took all the anxiety, fear and stress out of the planning process. Conversations were fun and became one of the highlights of our weekends–we would even have little champagne brunches after to celebrate another great call. I can honestly say that thanks to Lucy, I absolutely enjoyed and will miss planning my wedding, something every bride wants to think after her wedding but rarely does! All in all, my husband and I along with every guest in attendance walked away knowing we had experienced something truly amazing with memories that would last a lifetime and we have Lucy and The Boutique Wedding Co. to thank for it. Thank you Lucy and Jesus (and team) for your countless hours, emails, calls and hard work; you gave us a magical experience that will carry us through a lifetime together! Nicole&John

Hi both
We’re now back from Sicily and wanted to get in touch to say thank you so much for everything you did in planning the wedding. We had the most wonderful weekend, and all our guests are still talking about what a good time they had. I think we all just wish we could do it again!
You guys were fantastic from start to finish and we couldn’t have managed without you, either in the run up or on the day itself. Thank you!! We would recommend you to anyone so if you want us to put a review somewhere, or you want to put new clients in touch with us for our feedback we’d be happy to do so.
I’m sure we’ll be back in Andalucia soon, so hopefully catch up with you then.
Lots of love

Heres our review …We were delighted with the Boutique Wedding Co. Lucy and Jesus were fantastic, from the first introductory skype call, through spending their weekends helping us find the perfect venue and talking us through all the details, to creating the perfect wedding weekend for us in Tarifa. They were enthusiastic, creative and professional, and we couldn’t have asked for more. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. We just wish we could do it all again!
Jenny and Maurits
Dear Lucy and Jesus,
THANK YOU!! We couldn’t dream that our wedding could be so fantastic as it really became! The location and the styling and design was absolutely fantastic, and that because of you guys. We are so thankful!
The week after was absolutely fantastic too. We were sleeping for 14 hours every night (I think we were more nervous than we thought😂) Stina was digging the sand and Sigge played football with some spanish boys all day long.
Again thank you for the best day ever!
Best regards
Jenny and Maurits

Dear Lucy and Jesus,
Thank you for all your effort and help before and during our wedding day. We are really pleased with the styling and design – everything looked so beautiful, both in the ceremony room and outside. Thank you for paying attention to small details such as moving the pictures of our grand parents to downstairs etc. It really made a difference.
Also, we are really happy with all the musicians. We have received a lot of great feedback about Conbrio as well as Matt with flamenco girls. So it would be nice if you could forward our greetings and a big thank you for all of them. Also, the baby sitter was really nice, social and good with children. The flowers and my bouquet were stunning. And, the pictures we have seen from Radka are amazing!
We were so lucky to get such a sunny and warm weather that evening and the day for us was really a dream come true. Also our guests were so pleased with everything, and really loved Castillo de Santa Catalina as a venue. They (like we did) also really liked the food and wine – so we would like to send big thanks to the staff of Castillo as well. We have received such great feedback, e.g. one of my friends said that someone must organize a wedding at a moon to top her experience (holiday and the wedding with all the small details and people). It definitely was not a traditional Finnish wedding, and our guests were so pleased to be part of the day. We definitely made our parents happy and proud to host/be part of such a celebration. Sadly you were not able to understand much from the speeches, but there were a lot of emotional and beautiful things said – and most people were crying during the ceremony – especially me! 😉 And, our guests continued partying until the morning, some were still drinking red wine at a jacuzzi at 5 am.
It was a pleasure working with you Lucy! We could not have done it without you (and Jesus). Warm thank you for everything!
Love
Annette and Nikolas

Dear Lucy and Jesus,
Thank you, thank you thank you!
The vendors you found, they were all great! You were also very (very) responsive! Even when busy you took the time to send over a quick e-mail to confirm you had received mine and that you were on it (whatever that it may be). That was always very reassuring. On the actual day, you also reminded me of a Duracell bunny. You just had endless energy and kept running up and down all those stairs, amazing!
Decor and Styling: While sitting at the dinner table I at times really pinched myself to make sure I was not dreaming. Because it all looked dreamy! So many people mentioned that it looked like a celebrity wedding or a wedding you read about in a bridal magazine. The lights, oh my god all the lights. So pretty. The pool was also very romantic with the petals and the candles.The tables looked really beautiful and classy too.
Dessert table: WOW WOW WOW!! This was really your pièce de resistance!! Oh my god! While I was walking down to the pool for the dinner and saw it for the first time I cried. It was like from a girly fairytale. So incredibly beautiful and utterly perfect! From the actual desserts to the decorations! The white table was perfection! The cake stands were beautiful. The vases and flowers looked gorgeous. The way and the place you wrapped the gold sequin cloth was so tasteful. And this pretty cake cutter was the cherry on top. I could not have imagined this any better, it surpassed my wildest dreams by a mile! (and then some). The attention to detail that you displayed at the dessert table (I mean the cutest mint ribbon around the cake cutter??) was out of this world. I cannot praise your dessert table enough!
The Party: The courtyard looked sooooooooooooo beautiful with the lights above !!!!!!!! Thank you Jesus! I loved loved loved it all! It was the perfect party! It just looked so good and it was just so much fun to be able to be outside! Again, that fountain! So pretty!
Nicole and Marco
Our deepest gratitude to Lucy and Jesus. Beyond our wildest imagination they brought our dream wedding to life. To think this elopement was all planned in a week and a half with some magic touch of the universe, they captured all of the amazing emotions in one day that will last us a lifetime.
They were so incredibly easy to work with, an invaluable partner and friend, and helped us create this truly memorable day and space for us. We are forever grateful that they were part of our adventure.
We cannot recommend their services enough. Rest assured, all brides and grooms are safe within their hands and will have such a fun time working with them. They are the best!
Like Nicole said…Thank you!!!!!, It felt like you both went above and beyond for our special day!…We really miss Vejer and Spain so much! Send love to our Vejer Family!!
Charlotte and Paul Tilley
Lucy and Jesus were absolutely amazing from start to finish. From our first skype chat, to various meetings, to the big day, we knew our wedding could not be in better hands! Her and Jesus make a great team and we trusted them with every aspect of the day. Lucy went above and beyond our expectations and became a good friend and invaluable support in the lead up to the day. We honestly cannot recommend them enough. Want to do it all over again!!”
