Frequently asked questions about weddings in Lanzarote
Why get married in Lanzarote?
Lanzarote has something very few destinations can offer: a landscape that’s already an exceptional setting for the wedding of your dreams, all by itself. Black lava fields, the volcanic vineyards of La Geria, black and white sand beaches, the natural beauty of the island’s north. You don’t need elaborate decor when the setting does the work for you.
The climate is another strong argument: temperatures rarely drop below 18°C in winter, and rainy days are almost an anecdote. That stability gives you total flexibility to choose your wedding date without depending on the season.
Lanzarote is also an international destination with direct flights from across Europe. Getting married here doesn’t mean asking your guests to make an impossible trip; for many, it’s the perfect excuse to spend a few days on the island. A unique landscape, reliable weather and good connections: a wedding in Lanzarote speaks for itself.
What makes Casona de Tao special as a boutique rural hotel for weddings in Lanzarote?
Casona de Tao is a boutique rural hotel in Tao, in the municipality of San Bartolomé, in the heart of Lanzarote. Built with the island’s vernacular architecture — volcanic stone, interior courtyards, tea-pine beams — it isn’t an events complex or a converted wedding hall: it’s a building with history, where your celebration takes place in complete privacy.
When you book the hotel for your wedding, you book the whole thing. No other couples running in parallel, no strangers in the corridors, no pressure to clear the venue by a set time. Resort-style wedding hotels in Lanzarote simply can’t offer that.
A boutique rural wedding hotel has a different rhythm: the couple and their guests sleep under the same roof, the celebration unfolds naturally, and the island’s interior has a silence and a light that the more crowded coast can never reproduce.
How many guests can attend a wedding at Casona de Tao?
Casona de Tao has capacity for weddings of between 15 and 30 guests, with accommodation included for everyone. It’s the intimate wedding format: not a wedding hall for 200 people, but a rural country house in Lanzarote where every guest has their own room and the celebration has the scale of a private home.
This size isn’t a limitation, it’s a choice. Couples who organise weddings in Lanzarote at this scale prioritise the quality of the experience over the number of guests. Conversation flows, moments are remembered, and the celebration carries on seamlessly from the ceremony to breakfast the next morning: all in the same place, without dispersing, without rushing.
How many rooms does Casona de Tao have for guest accommodation?
The hotel has 12 rooms — doubles, deluxe rooms and suites — with capacity to accommodate between 20 and 28 people depending on the configuration. Under exclusive use, the entire hotel is reserved for the couple and their guests.
For couples organising their wedding in Lanzarote, having everyone’s accommodation sorted in a single place massively simplifies the logistics. No need to coordinate transfers between different hotels, no guests staying 45 minutes away, and the celebration can carry on naturally without anyone watching the clock.
How does the wedding planner service in Lanzarote work with Casona de Tao?
Casona de Tao works with wedding planners in Lanzarote who specialise in weddings in the interior and north of the island. It isn’t an in-house hotel service, but local professionals experienced in organising weddings in Lanzarote from start to finish: legal paperwork, catering coordination, florists, music, photography and every detail involved in making your big day unique.
The advantage of working with a Lanzarote wedding planner with local knowledge is concrete: they know the island’s quality suppliers, the permits needed for certain locations, and the specific logistics of celebrating inland rather than on the coast.
If you want to organise your wedding in Lanzarote without managing every supplier separately, the hotel can put you in touch with the wedding planners it regularly works with.
What types of weddings take place at Casona de Tao?
Casona de Tao mainly hosts civil weddings and symbolic weddings. Civil weddings require prior paperwork at the relevant Civil Registry or local court in Lanzarote, which can take between 2 and 6 months depending on the couple’s circumstances.
Symbolic weddings are the preferred choice for international couples who want to get married in Lanzarote with a personalised ceremony, without the legal paperwork of the Spanish system. A celebrant or master of ceremonies leads the celebration in the form of a real wedding, without legal effect.
We also organise vow renewals, elopements — an intimate wedding just for the couple and a few witnesses — and post-wedding celebrations for couples who marry at the registry office and want to celebrate that special day in a memorable setting with their guests.
What wedding venues does Casona de Tao offer for the ceremony and banquet?
Casona de Tao has both indoor and outdoor spaces for the ceremony and banquet. The central courtyard, with the island’s traditional volcanic architecture, is one of the most popular settings for intimate ceremonies. The gardens and terraces offer outdoor alternatives with views over the volcanic landscape of inland Lanzarote, right in the municipality of San Bartolomé.
If you’re looking for wedding venues in Lanzarote with real character — not a generic garden with a gazebo and white tablecloths — the setting at the Casona is hard to match. Black volcanic stone, white lime-washed walls and the light of the island’s interior create an atmosphere the big coastal hotels simply can’t reproduce: natural beauty built into the building itself, just as César Manrique championed for Lanzarote’s architecture.
For ceremonies that want to make the most of the volcanic landscape or the vineyards of La Geria, the hotel team can point you towards nearby outdoor venues.
How much does it cost to organise a wedding at Casona de Tao? What’s included in the price?
Wedding prices at Casona de Tao depend on the number of guests, the dates, the accommodation arrangement — just the nights of the celebration or the whole weekend — and any external services booked. There’s no fixed-price package, because every wedding is quoted individually.
What is clear from the start: exclusive-use accommodation includes every room in the hotel. Catering, decor, music and photography are quoted separately with our recommended suppliers, which lets you tailor spending to what really matters to you as a couple.
For an initial quote for your wedding in Lanzarote, the quickest way is to contact the hotel with your approximate guest numbers and dates in mind. We recommend booking at least 9-12 months ahead for high-season dates.
Is there a restaurant or catering for weddings at Casona de Tao?
Casona de Tao doesn’t have a banquet kitchen for large groups, but it works with the best catering suppliers in Lanzarote, who bring their own kitchens to the hotel and prepare the menu on site. This system offers a flexibility that conventional wedding restaurants in Lanzarote can rarely match.
You can design the menu to your own taste: local island produce — malvasía wine from La Geria, majorero cheese, fresh fish from the north, wrinkled potatoes — or a more international menu, depending on the couple’s preferences. The pace of dinner adapts to your celebration, not to the turnover of an events hall running four weddings on the same Saturday.
For breakfast the next morning, the hotel kitchen prepares a full service for all guests staying over: the morning-after brunch is one of the moments couples remember most.
What’s the best time of year for a wedding in Lanzarote?
One of the great advantages of celebrating your big day in Lanzarote is that there’s no bad time of year. Temperatures are pleasant all year round: between 17 and 22°C in winter, between 24 and 30°C in summer. Rain is scarce and, when it happens, usually brief.
That said, spring — April and May — and autumn — September and October — are the preferred months for weddings in Lanzarote: perfect temperatures, spectacular light and less tourist saturation than in July and August. Summer works very well when guests are coming from northern Europe and only have those months off. Winter, especially between November and March, offers lower prices and an intimacy that high season can’t match: ideal for couples who want their dream wedding without the summer buzz.
Can we personalise the wedding décor and style?
Yes. Because it’s an exclusive-use celebration, the décor and style adapt entirely to the couple’s taste. There’s no standard “wedding package” look to settle for: you can work with your own florist, choose your colour palette, decide on the lighting and personalise every corner of the hotel for that special day.
The architecture at Casona de Tao — volcanic stone, white lime-wash, tea-pine wood — has a very defined style, a legacy of the tradition César Manrique championed for the island: beauty that grows out of its own surroundings, with nothing false about it. Many couples prefer to work that aesthetic into their celebration rather than covering it up with borrowed decor. Weddings in Lanzarote that embrace the island’s visual identity have a consistency that shows in the photographs and in the guest experience.
What documents do I need to legally marry in Lanzarote?
To legally marry in Lanzarote as a Spanish citizen, you need to start the marriage file at the relevant Civil Registry. For international couples, the requirements depend on nationality: you’ll generally need a birth certificate, a certificate of no impediment to marriage (or equivalent for your home country) and, in many cases, a Hague Apostille.
The process can take between 2 and 6 months, so it’s worth starting well in advance. A wedding planner experienced in weddings in Lanzarote can guide you through these procedures and, in many cases, handle them directly on your behalf.
For couples who prefer a symbolic wedding — without legal effect — the process is much simpler: there’s no prior paperwork, just coordination with a celebrant who leads the ceremony according to your preferences.
Where are wedding photos taken in Lanzarote?
The area around Casona de Tao, in San Bartolomé, is one of the best spots for wedding photography in Lanzarote. Less than 15 minutes from the hotel: the volcanic vineyards of La Geria, 18th-century windmills, black lava fields, Mirador del Río with views over La Graciosa, the Janubio salt flats, and the Famara coastline with its cliffs.
Real wedding photos taken in these settings have a character that conventional hotel gardens simply can’t match. The light in Lanzarote — warmer and clearer than in any other European destination — and the natural beauty of the volcanic landscape create truly unique images. Photographers who regularly work on weddings in Lanzarote know exactly how to make the most of that light.
The hotel itself — courtyard, terraces, volcanic stone façade — also offers settings for bridal portraits without having to travel anywhere.
How do I book a wedding at Casona de Tao?
The first step is to get in touch with the hotel, letting us know your tentative date and approximate guest numbers. From there, we confirm availability and explain the terms of exclusive-use accommodation.
To organise your wedding in Lanzarote from start to finish — ceremony, catering, music, flowers, photography — the hotel can put you in touch with wedding planners and local suppliers experienced in this type of intimate celebration.
The formal booking includes signing an exclusivity contract and paying a deposit. We recommend booking at least 9-12 months ahead for high-season dates (spring and autumn) and 6 months for the rest of the year.
