France
Biarritz
Belle Époque hotels, cliff paths, and a town that still dresses for the Atlantic.
Destination weddings · France & Spain
Get married on the Basque coast
One coastline, two countries. Atlantic light, fishing ports, and rooms that feel like they belong to the place. From Biarritz to San Sebastián, we introduce couples to vetted planners and venues — and you pay nothing for the introduction.
Biarritz · Saint-Jean-de-Luz · San Sebastián · Hondarribia
Four towns, one coast
The French Basque Country and Spanish País Vasco share a language, a table, and a way of gathering. The wedding you want may sit ten minutes from a border you will barely notice.
France
Saint-Jean-de-Luz
A harbour town with a sheltered bay, Basque houses, and a church that has seen royal weddings.
Spain
San Sebastián
A crescent bay, a serious food city, and palaces that know how to hold a crowd.
Spain
Hondarribia
A walled old town on the Bidasoa, an airport at the edge, and the quietest of the four.
How it works
This is not a marketplace and not a planning agency. It is a short conversation, then a careful introduction.
01
Tell us your plans
Date or year, guest count, budget, and whether you lean France, Spain, or either. A few sentences about the wedding you have in mind is enough.
02
Get matched with vetted local planners and venues
We write to people we would trust with our own family — planners, houses, and restaurants we have visited. You hear from them directly.
03
Pay nothing as a couple
The introduction is free. If you book, some vendors pay us a referral fee. That is the whole model, and it does not change what you are quoted.
