Taking your dreams from paper to reality, creating memories that last a lifetime

Marcia Bravo Celebrant

In Spain

Hi just arrived… you´ve found me,
I´m your celebrant in Spain, it´s great
to meet you…

I´m "M" a Celebrant in Malaga, Spain, writing a range of vibrant, bespoke ceremonies, including elopements, vow renewals, naming and gratitude ceremonies and new beginning ceremonies, in English and bilingual ceremonies with a fusion of English and Spanish.  If someone had told me that in the future, I would learn to speak Spanish, I would probably have thought, maybe!! Why not!! I´ve always considered Spanish a very romantic language and loved the vibrant culture…

 

However, if they´d said M, what´s more, you´re going to become a celebrant in Spain, writing and officiating bespoke destination wedding ceremonies in Spain; I don´t think I would have believed them…But becoming a wedding officiant has really been one of the best things I´ve ever done…

 

What I love the most about being a celebrant in Spain is helping you to take your dream ceremony ideas from paper and turn them into reality.  Writing and officiating personalised wedding ceremonies for couples like you means I get to create memories that last a lifetime, too!

As a Celebrant in Spain what more could I ask for…

I´m Marcia Bravo, Celebrant in Spain
Fondly known as “M” 

I´m originally from the UK, Leeds, West Yorkshire, but now live in Málaga capital, Andalucía, Spain.

Don´t get me wrong, I loved working 9-5 and within the UK charities where I worked for over 20 years, but I knew I longed for something more; something was missing…That something was being able to use my creativity every day , being a celebrant in Spain lets me do that.

When I´m not wearing my celebrant hat, I especially love practising yoga, reading Spanish detective novels and walking by the sea because this opens my mind to consider the unique things about you that help me make your ceremony positively authentic.  Within my yoga practice, it´s always about exploration and what I can achieve if I allow myself to breathe and see how far I can go. And it´s the same in terms of exploring how far I can take your ceremony, so that it truly reflects you.  I get to create something unique that has been shaped by me and can be seen by others. That´s what I really love about being a celebrant in Spain…being able to write and officiate unique and uplifting ceremonies for you, whether you are travelling to Spain from the UK, already live in Spain, or in other parts of the world, be it the US, Australia, really anywhere....

 

Having a celebrant led wedding has some clear advantages.  As a celebrant, fundamentally, I´m a storyteller, and to me, each ceremony is like creating a piece of art.  Narrating your journey, I weave your love story into an amazing, vibrant ceremony that creates memories that last a lifetime…

I have a question for you … Are you ready to take your wedding dreams from paper to reality?

Yes? Well, I can help you do that, as your celebrant in Spain, let´s start communicating

My wedding and elopement ceremonies are authentic and reflect you and your journey to marriage; best described as a rewind to your first moments and a fast forward to arriving at your ceremony day, done in a vibrant, upbeat and enthusiastic way, whilst weaving in colourful metaphors to narrate your story in a way that´s authentically you.

I would love to get to know more about you and your ideas for your special day.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect celebrant than Marcia. From our very first meet, she took the time to really get to know us, not just our story, but who we are and it showed in every part of the ceremony. She was so open to trying new things with us (even a few she hadn’t done before!) and made the whole process feel easy, fun, and completely us. On the day, she was just fabulous. We wanted someone who could make the ceremony funny, but also have everyone in tears during the beautiful moments (happy tears, of course!), and she absolutely nailed it. So many of our guests thought we already knew Marcia. She really immersed herself in our lives, making jokes about my husbands football team, to guiding everyone through a short meditation because she knew how important it was to us to feel grounded. It didn’t feel like it was just me and my husband standing there while everyone watched, it honestly felt like we were all part of something together. And one thing I love about Marcia, is her style! She’s got this amazing, expressive vibe that makes her stand out in the best way. She’s got heart, talent, and serious style — the full package! We feel so lucky and beyond grateful to have had Marcia unite our love. She created a ceremony that was pure magic — one we’ll never, ever forget. 💛

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t recommend Marcia enough! Marcia made the whole process so easy for us — even though we were super busy and terrible at replying to emails! She took the time to FaceTime us at the start, which really helped us get to know each other and feel confident in choosing her. We filled out a questionnaire that helped paint a picture of our relationship, and Marcia used that to create an incredible ceremony script that felt so personal and genuine. On the day, she arrived on time, was professional, calm, and friendly — her delivery was perfect and made the ceremony really special. So many of our guests commented on what an amazing job she did, and we couldn’t agree more. We definitely made the right choice choosing Marcia!

Marcia was an absolute dream! We got along from the first meeting, had a laugh and knew she’d create a gorgeous wedding. She wants everything to be centred around the couple and our family haven’t stopped going on about how personal our ceremony was; they’d never experienced anything like it. So happy we chose M! X

Marcia wrote and officiated our baby daughter’s naming and gratitude ceremony in our garden in Madrid. Although my husband and I were both christened, we wanted to celebrate and welcome our new baby in a non-religious way but really had no idea how to go about it at first. But from our very first meeting, my husband and I knew we had found the right celebrant for us! Marcia’s warm, colourful and energetic personality shone through, and all throughout the months leading up to the event she was on hand, offering suggestions and ideas. What we loved the most about the day was how personal, relaxed and how very ‘us’ the ceremony was, which was a testament to all of Marcia’s work, listening to us and getting to know us in the months before. She created the most beautiful ceremony that perfectly captured our story as a new family of three, and all that our new baby means to us. M was super flexible and great with some last minute changes we had to make. Although it was her first naming ceremony, you wouldn’t have thought so! Everything went so smoothly and we are so grateful for how special and beautiful M helped to make the day. It will be a day we never forget!

We highly recommend Marcia. M is a true delight and a wonderful celebrant. You really get the sense that she cares about your ceremony every bit as much as you do. She will listen and make her own suggestions to plan the best experience. M also considers the finer details and ensures it’s a truly memorable day. A consummate professional, she is patient and kind, liaising perfectly with our photographer and even expertly negotiating a way around some unexpected construction work that could’ve de-railed our ceremony plans. Thank you M for helping us to create some ever lasting and special memories.

Marcia was brilliant from start to finish. The whole experience was made very smooth from how informative and communicative Marcia was. We knew that we could contact at any time. The ceremony was really special and really captured the ethos of our relationship. Being from the UK and getting married in Seville it was extra helpful to have someone fluent in both languages. I'd have no hesitation recommending Marcia to anyone.

I don’t think we could have picked a better person to help us Officiating our ceremony. We wanted a Non religious and non traditional small ceremony and Marcia delivered it! It couldn’t have been any more perfect, she was very easy to work with and took the stress away from us. I am so happy we hired her, she truly made our day special. Thank you for all the work and love that was put into our ceremony.

We had the pleasure of having Marcia as our wedding celebrant for our wedding in Seville on the 27th September 2024. We were extremely happy with our beautiful ceremony and would highly recommend Marcia as a wedding celebrant. Marcia really took the time to get to know us as and to make sure the ceremony captured us as a couple. She was really receptive to incorporating any ideas we had for the ceremony and the ceremony felt so personal to us - the time and effort spent to achieve this on her behalf was evident. Marcia was so easy to work with. She was extremely kind to us in the lead up to the wedding. She has a very calming and easy-going nature. All of this made the ceremony planning, and the ceremony itself, really enjoyable. The ceremony was one of the many highlights of our day. So many of our family and friends commented on how beautiful it was and specifically on how great Marcia was. Thank you so much Marcia for helping us to create memories that we will cherish forever. Hopefully our paths cross again in the future. Kayleigh and Cormac from Ireland

¡Marcia ha sido una persona excepcional! Mi esposo Peter y yo la conocimos después de una breve entrevista por zoom y terminamos fascinados con su energía y toda la buena vibra que nos daba. Siempre se comunicaba con nosotros durante el proceso de crear nuestra ceremonia y atendía nuestros requerimientos. El día de la boda todos los invitados y nosotros quedamos maravillados con ella. Fue un gran esfuerzo que puso ella por hacer una ceremonia en dos idiomas y lo apreciamos muchísimo. Marcia es una persona maravillosa y la recomendamos para oficiar otras bodas. ♥️💍💒 (Peter from Ireland and Maria from Ecuador)
