Wedding photographers in Seville

1. 1

   The city hall’s Salón Colón

   The plateresque city hall, between the Plaza Nueva and the Plaza de San Francisco, holds civil weddings in the Salón Colón, its council chamber. The city’s Protocol Service books it once your marriage file has been approved.

2. 2

   The Cathedral and El Salvador

   The Cathedral marries couples before its Virgen de los Reyes on Friday and Saturday evenings, booked by email up to a year ahead; during building works the weddings have moved elsewhere in the cathedral, so ask where. El Salvador holds weddings on Fridays and Saturdays at 18:00, after a meeting with its rector.

   Palace hotels

   Hotel Alfonso XIII opened in 1928 with a royal wedding banquet and still hosts weddings, in its gardens and courtyard. In a Seville summer, shade and deep galleries are worth more than a view.

   Haciendas outside the city

   Old olive estates with whitewashed courtyards, arcades and room to dance outside. Hacienda de San Rafael, south of the city at Las Cabezas de San Juan, is one that hosts weddings. Book coaches both ways: the party ends late.

May (27.2 °C average high) and October (26.0 °C) are the easy months, and April is milder still. Summer is a real planning issue: AEMET’s 1981–2010 normals for Seville airport give average highs of 32.2 °C in June, 36.0 °C in July, 35.5 °C in August and 31.7 °C in September, with nights around 20 °C. June to August is almost dry; rain peaks in November and December. Holy Week (21–28 March in 2027) and the April Fair, which usually starts about two weeks after Easter, fill the hotels.
