What is a symbolic wedding?
Your Love, Your Ceremony
A symbolic ceremony is a unique and personal wedding, without religious or legal requirements. It’s perfect for couples who want to celebrate their love in an authentic and emotional way. You are the center – with your story, your values, and your vision of the perfect day. As an experienced officiant, I create symbolic ceremonies not only in Gran Canaria, but wherever you want to feel your love: by a lake, in a forest, in your own garden, or atop a mountain at sunset.
Free Wedding in Gran Canaria: Nature, Love & Magic
An alternative wedding on the beautiful island of Gran Canaria is especially popular, where romance and nature blend in a unique way. Whether barefoot on the beach, surrounded by lush gardens, or high up in the mountains with a panoramic view of the island – Gran Canaria offers a wide variety of spectacular locations where your ceremony becomes an unforgettable experience. I help you find the ideal place and support you in combining your symbolic wedding with a unique honeymoon. This way, your big day will be not only special, but also full of lightness, sunshine, and love.
More Freedom and Individuality for Your Big Day
What makes a symbolic ceremony so special? You decide how the ceremony will look, its content and its atmosphere. It can be as unique as you are – full of personal details and meaningful moments. Some possible options include:
- Personal rituals such as handfasting, planting a tree, or a sand ceremony
- Vows written by you, sharing your own story
- Customized music that moves and accompanies you
- Symbolic gestures like lighting a wedding candle or mixing wine
- Decor and ambiance reflecting your personal style
- Unconventional attire in which you feel completely comfortable
- An officiant you know or with whom you feel a special connection
- Documentary-style photos and videos capturing real moments
- Special food concepts, from a picnic to a regional buffet
All of this turns your symbolic wedding into a day full of emotion, personality, and unforgettable memories.
