In Girona province, the average cost of a wedding has now passed €20,000, according to industry data. The rise is linked to demand for country estates, distinctive venues and weekend-long celebrations.

The highest prices are being seen in Empordà, Garrotxa and the Costa Brava. Final costs can vary widely depending on guest numbers, the menu, decoration, music and other services.

The venue is one of the biggest cost drivers, with country estates and special spaces usually costing more than standard banquet halls. Larger guest lists also push up food and drink bills, while personalised menus, especially those using local produce, tend to cost more.

Floral arrangements, lighting and other decorative details can add further expense. Music and entertainment, including live bands and DJs, also increase the total, as do photography and video services. In some cases, transport for guests can add another charge.

Despite the higher prices, couples continue to choose Girona province for weddings because of its scenery, gastronomy and venue options. For planning, specialist suppliers and detailed quotes can help couples understand the full cost before they book.
