Even though fans of the White Isle already know it’s a magical wedding destination, there’s no getting away from the fact that Ibiza is a long way from home, meaning that just thinking about everything involved in the preparations can be - quite frankly - overwhelming. Therefore, planning ahead is essential. We contacted Ibiza wedding planner Lauren Kaycee from Hidden Treasures Ibiza to put your mind to rest.
Christmas engagements are magical. The lights, the bubbles, the ring, the group chats exploding with screenshots. And then… January arrives, reality kicks in, and the big question hits: “Where on earth do we start?”
“If you’re dreaming of getting married in Ibiza at a beautiful wedding venue, chances are you’ve already fallen down the Instagram rabbit hole,” says Lauren. “Sunset ceremonies on private cliffs, barefoot brides on secret coves, candlelit dinners under the pine trees - it’s intoxicating, but also a uniquely local landscape to navigate. With so much inspiration and so many suppliers, knowing who to contact first isn’t always obvious. My advice? Start with the planner.”
Why should an Ibiza wedding planner be the first call?
“Before venues, before florists, before requesting endless brochures — secure your wedding planner. An experienced Ibiza wedding planner will not only guide you through the process, but often open doors to venues, suppliers and creative ideas you wouldn’t find on your own. They’ll help you avoid wasted time, mismatched expectations, and decision fatigue before it even begins.”
How do you recommend going about choosing the right Ibiza wedding planner?
“Speak to at least two planners. This is crucial. A planner’s relationships with Ibiza wedding venues, and specialist local suppliers can define your entire wedding. You need to feel their specific connection to all those elements of the island’s network that are key to a successful wedding.
Connection is everything. You’ll be working closely with this person for up to two years. You should leave a consultation feeling truly understood and, to be honest, excited. They’ll be deeply involved in your lives, your budget, and your personal vision for an Ibiza celebration.
Fall in love with their work, and their island vibe. Look beyond a single pretty image. Does their portfolio show a true feel for the light, the landscape, the relaxed yet sophisticated soul of a White Isle wedding? They should embody what Ibiza means to you.
And this is really important: Don’t choose on price alone. In Ibiza’s varied market, the cheapest quote might not account for key factors such as bilingual coordination, seasonal price fluctuations, or the back-up fund you need for a seamless destination wedding. It all comes down to experience.
Ask all the questions. You’re not expected to know how it works. A good planner will welcome your curiosity about everything from local noise regulations to the best time of day and spot for a photo session at the golden hour.
Honesty is your foundation. Your planner should give realistic projections based on your budget and guest count, not just promises that look good on a mood board. Trust is built on managing dreams with the kind of down-to-earth approach the island sometimes requires.“
And what’s your top tip?
“Getting married in Ibiza should feel like the great adventure it is. The right planner becomes your insider, turning logistical nuances into effortless moments. They ensure your day isn’t just in Ibiza, but truly of it, capturing the specific magic that made you choose this island in the first place.”
