Timeless Architecture and Lush Gardens: Castell de Sant Marçal Weddings
If you're a couple who loves old-world romance, timeless charm, and a dash of refined beauty, a Castell de Sant Marçal wedding will check all the boxes for your big day. As a photographer with an emotive, documentary style, I can't help but fall in love with this gorgeous venue every time. Here’s why it’s the ultimate destination wedding venue in Barcelona!
Castell de Sant Marcal Weddings: Why This Venue Is So Spectacular
Castell de Sant Marçal offers couples a wedding day straight out of a fairytale. Elegant, charming, and surrounded by beautiful botanical gardens, this is the perfect location for an unforgettable celebration. With an atmosphere that feels welcoming, and truly luxurious, along with a team of people waiting to connect you to the area's best vendors, this venue is ideal for all couples and weddings of any size — especially those who appreciate refined beauty in a sophisticated setting.
Plus, the Castell de Sant Marçal wedding venue is just a 30-minute drive from the city, making it incredibly convenient for your guests to get to while still offering a peaceful, picturesque escape.
Castell de Sant Marcal Wedding Spaces & Photo Opportunities
Castell de Sant Marcal is filled with photo opportunities, and while that’s partly due to the beauty of its exterior, the venue also offers a number of locations to suit your individual taste and preference. As a destination wedding photographer in Barcelona who also specialises in Indian destination weddings, I really can’t resist highlighting the stunning photo opportunities at this venue.
From the expansive and highly manicured castle grounds to the cozy converted cellar and newly designed greenhouse (created by interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán) with floor-to-ceiling windows and masses of natural light, Castell de Sant Marcal wedding photos easily adapt to the vision you’ve had for your big day.
Castell de Sant Marcal’s architecture evolves as you move through the venue. The main building, a castle that’s been in the hands of the same family for 700 years, features Romanesque and Gothic design that’s perfect as a backdrop for timeless and romantic occasions. The outdoor grounds, one of 4 unique spaces offered for events, have a max capacity of 1,000 people and are well suited to this type of photography.
For smaller outdoor occasions, or when you’re after a more intimate documentary of your day, the space under the chestnut trees oozes that magical atmosphere, especially in the evening when the sun goes down and the castle is illuminated. Head inside to the greenhouse, and you’ll find a room flooded with natural light with a design inspired by French orangeries – perfect for a large wedding.
