Wedding Planner in Lanzarote
What a wedding planner actually does, how the process works, and why every wedding at Casona de Tao
includes one — at no extra cost.
What Is a Wedding Planner?
A clear answer before you decide whether you need one.
A wedding planner is the professional who designs, organizes and coordinates every part of a wedding, from the very first conversation to the last dance. Think of a wedding planner as the director of an orchestra: dozens of people and moving parts — venue, catering, florist, photographer, music, transport, paperwork — that only sound right when someone is making sure they all come in at the right time.
A wedding planner is not the same as a venue coordinator. A venue coordinator manages what happens inside one specific location. A wedding planner represents you: your taste, your budget and your priorities, across every supplier and every decision involved in getting married in Lanzarote — whether the wedding takes place at the venue they work for or not.
For couples planning a wedding in Lanzarote from abroad, a local wedding planner is often the difference between a smooth process and a stressful one. Someone who already knows the island, speaks the language, and has worked with the registry office, the florists and the musicians before is worth far more than their fee suggests — especially when you can’t pop over for a site visit every few weeks.
At Casona de Tao, a dedicated wedding planner is included in every wedding package. It isn’t an optional extra you add later — it’s part of how we believe a wedding in Lanzarote should be organized from day one.
What Does a Wedding Planner Do?
Six areas your wedding planner takes off your plate.
How Does a Wedding Planner Work? The Process, Step by Step
From the first phone call to the last dance.
Step 1 — Discovery Call
We start by getting to know you: your story as a couple, the wedding you imagine, your guest count and your budget. This first conversation shapes everything that follows, so we spend real time on it rather than rushing to a proposal.
Step 2 — Concept & Venue
Your wedding planner translates that conversation into a concept — the overall feel of the day — and matches it to the right space at Casona de Tao: gardens for the ceremony, terraces for the cocktail, the main hall or the pool for what comes after.
Step 3 — Design & Decoration
Colour palette, floral style, table settings and lighting are defined together with you, working with local florists and decorators who know how to make the most of a volcanic landscape without fighting it.
Step 4 — Vendor Sourcing & Booking
Your wedding planner sources and books photographers, musicians, hair and make-up artists and transport from a vetted network of local suppliers, and handles the contracts and communication so you don’t have to chase anyone.
Step 5 — Legal Paperwork & Logistics
For couples marrying in Spain, there is a civil registry process to complete, and often flights, transfers and accommodation for guests to arrange. Your wedding planner coordinates the paperwork and the logistics so nothing is left to the last week.
Step 6 — Timeline & Final Details
In the weeks before the wedding, every supplier, timing and detail is confirmed into a single run-of-show. If a rehearsal is needed, this is when it happens.
Step 7 — Wedding Day Coordination
On the day, your wedding planner is on site from set-up to the last song, managing every supplier and every timing so that the only job left for you is to get married and enjoy it.
Why You Need a Wedding Planner When Getting Married in Lanzarote
An island wedding has its own logistics. A local wedding planner already knows them.
Island Logistics
Everything from flowers to specialist equipment has to be planned further ahead on an island than on the mainland. A wedding planner based in Lanzarote already has these supply chains solved.
Reliable Weather, Still a Plan B
Lanzarote has over 300 days of sun a year, ideal for an outdoor ceremony. Your wedding planner still builds a contingency plan, so an outdoor wedding never depends on hoping for the best.
Legal Paperwork for Foreign Couples
Getting married in Spain as a foreign couple involves registry office paperwork most people only deal with once. A wedding planner who has done it before keeps the process simple.
Bilingual Coordination
For international couples and guests, having a wedding planner who coordinates comfortably in English and Spanish removes an entire layer of stress from every conversation with suppliers.
Planning From a Distance
Most couples getting married in Lanzarote don’t live here. A local wedding planner is your eyes and ears on the island between visits, so the wedding keeps moving forward even when you’re not on site.
One Point of Contact
Instead of coordinating a florist, a photographer, a caterer and a venue separately, you speak to one person who is coordinating all of them for you.
Wedding Planner Included at Casona de Tao
What Makes It Different
Not every Lanzarote wedding package includes a dedicated planner as standard. Here’s what makes ours an all-inclusive one.
- Included, not an add-on. Every all-inclusive Lanzarote wedding package at Casona de Tao comes with a dedicated wedding planner as standard — it’s part of the price, not an upsell.
- One dedicated planner, from first contact to last dance. You always speak to the same person, not a rotating team or a call centre.
- In-house chef, not external catering. Your wedding planner coordinates directly with our own kitchen, so menus, timings and allergies are managed in-house rather than juggled between two companies.
- One wedding at a time. Casona de Tao never hosts two weddings on the same day, so your wedding planner’s attention isn’t split.
- Local, hands-on knowledge. Years of experience with Lanzarote’s registry office, florists, musicians and photographers, not a generic checklist.
- Accommodation on site. With 12 rooms in exclusive use, your wedding planner can coordinate the ceremony, the celebration and the guests’ stay as one single event, not three separate bookings.
