For many couples looking to tie the knot, the expense and unpredictable weather can make the idea of getting married in England unappealing. Increasingly, people are going abroad for their nuptials. Whilst the Caribbean might be financially out of reach for many, Gran Canaria can provide a wonderful alternative. Not only are flights to Gran Canaria much more affordable, they only take four and a half hours, which makes it much easier for friends and family of all ages to attend the big day.

Getting married in Gran Canaria brings some spectacular venue options, especially as the good weather makes it ideal for an outdoor wedding. From idyllic beach settings, gorgeous hotels with stunning infinity pools, the beautiful lakeside mountains, or one of the more traditional Spanish churches, followed by an open-air restaurant for the reception. You'll be spoilt for choice.

If you do decide to get married in Gran Canaria, we'd advise working with one of the many wedding planners on the island to help you organise it - from the necessary legal arrangements and finding a priest to booking the venue and buying the flowers. There are many wedding planners to choose from. Almost all cater for same sex as well as mixed sex couples. And for those couples on a really tight budget, some even specialise in 'credit crunch' lower cost weddings.

Whatever arrangements you make, you can be sure that your Gran Canarian wedding will be magical.
