The Story Behind Your Day
Meet Marcella
An Irish heart, a Spanish soul, and more than 23 years of making wedding dreams come true.
Hello, I’m Marcella. My story began in Co. Mayo, Ireland, before life took me through the UK and eventually to the beautiful Costa Blanca in Spain — a place I’m lucky enough to call home.
Before becoming a wedding planner, I spent several years working with the public in the health, airline and film industries. Those experiences helped shape my love of people, my organisational skills and my understanding of what goes into creating memorable experiences.
After moving permanently to Spain with my husband and our two boys, I turned that experience into my passion and founded Your Dream Wedding in Spain. More than 23 years later, I’m still doing what I love: helping couples bring their plans together and enjoy the journey along the way.
More than a wedding planner
For me, this has never been just about organising a wedding. It starts with getting to know the people behind it: listening to your ideas, understanding what matters most to you and helping you create a day that feels like you.
Every couple is different, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. My role is to guide you, share what I’ve learned, give honest advice and help you navigate the details — without making the planning feel like another full-time job.
I bring Irish warmth and a lifetime of stories together with more than two decades of local Spanish knowledge and trusted supplier relationships. I know the questions couples need answered, the details worth paying attention to and, just as importantly, the things you don’t need to worry about.
I work with carefully selected suppliers who share my commitment to quality and service, and I believe in being open, approachable and genuinely invested in every couple I work with. Your wedding is never just another date in the diary. It’s a day full of meaning, emotion and memories you’ll carry with you for years.
And because I believe the little things can make the biggest difference, I also love adding a few thoughtful surprises along the way.
Your dream, your story, your day
After more than 23 years, I still feel incredibly lucky to do what I do. Being part of a couple’s journey, watching their plans come together and seeing their happiness when the day finally arrives is something I’ll never take for granted.
The most beautiful celebrations aren’t about everything being perfect on paper, they’re about being surrounded by the people you love, enjoying the moment and making memories together.
My wish is for every couple who chooses Your Dream Wedding in Spain to experience that same joy, with the reassurance of knowing they have someone by their side who truly cares.
I can’t wait to hear your story and help you begin writing the next chapter of yours here in Spain.
With love,
Marcella x
