Casa de la Era

Casa de la Era is a dry-hire venue, so you have exclusive use of the estate along with its lighting, sound system, three-phase power, rooftop DJ booth, private parking, security and coordination on the day. Catering, furniture, flowers, styling and entertainment are arranged separately, which is exactly what lets you design the day your way. We can take care of all of it for you.

Yes. We offer full supplier sourcing and management, connecting you with caterers, florists, photographers, entertainment and more that we know and trust here, and coordinating them for you. Because Casa de la Era is dry hire, you are free to choose your own suppliers, and we make that simple.

Yes. Swish Soirées is a full-service wedding planning and coordination team, so your day at Casa de la Era can be planned and run entirely by us, from the first conversation right through to the last dance.

Yes. Casa de la Era is entirely yours for your celebration, with complete privacy across the whole estate and no other events sharing the day.

No. Uncommonly for this stretch of the coast, there is no sound curfew, so you can carry on celebrating late into the night.

You can hold a symbolic ceremony anywhere on the estate, in the Ceremonial Circle or the amphitheatre, led by a celebrant. Legal civil marriages take place at Marbella Town Hall, while religious and humanist ceremonies can also be arranged. We guide you through the options and the paperwork.

The venue hosts from 10 up to 250 guests, with terrace dining for up to 220. For larger celebrations the amphitheatre and surrounding areas can be combined, and there is covered space for up to 100 guests should the weather turn.

Yes. A private four-bedroom villa sleeps up to eight, with ensuite rooms, a rooftop lounge and a plunge pool, on a minimum two-night stay. Marbella's hotels are just minutes away for the rest of your guests, and we are happy to arrange room blocks and transport.

No. Venue hire covers exclusive use of the estate on a dry-hire basis, and the four-bedroom villa is hired separately, on a minimum two-night stay. It sleeps up to eight in ensuite comfort, with a rooftop lounge and plunge pool, and is ideal for the wedding party. We are happy to arrange it for you.

Yes. Marbella's hotels are just minutes from the estate, at every level from relaxed to five star. A few our couples like, with approximate nightly rates:

Absolutely. Marbella's climate is mild year round, and some of the loveliest weddings here happen outside summer, with softer light and a slower pace. There is covered space for up to 100 guests, with marquee options above that, so a winter celebration is straightforward to plan.

Málaga Airport is the closest and most convenient, about 50 km away and roughly 40 minutes by car. Gibraltar Airport is a good alternative for some UK travellers, about 77 km away and around an hour's drive. Both make arrival easy for you and your guests, with Marbella and Puerto Banús just down the hill.

Plenty, which makes it easy to turn the wedding into a few days away. The Costa del Sol is famous for its golf, and the coast offers beach days, water sports and jet skis, and boat or yacht charters. Inland we can arrange horse riding, hiking, cycling and bike tours, wine and olive-oil tasting, spa days, tennis and cooking classes. Just tell us what your group enjoys and we will organise it.

Marbella's old town and the orange-tree Plaza de los Naranjos, the glamorous Puerto Banús marina and the whitewashed hill village of Mijas are all close by. A little further, the dramatic clifftop town of Ronda, the pretty village of Frigiliana and the Nerja Caves make wonderful day trips, with Granada and the Alhambra, or Seville, within reach for guests staying longer.

Yes. If you would like a church ceremony before celebrating at the venue, there are several lovely options a short drive away. A favourite is the historic Iglesia de la Encarnación in Marbella's Old Town, and there are smaller chapels and churches dotted around the area too. We are happy to arrange transport and coordinate the timings between the church and Casa de la Era, so the day flows without you having to think about the logistics.

Only a short drive. Depending on which stretch of coast you choose, most of our couples and their guests reach a Marbella beach in around 10 to 15 minutes, so it is easy to pair a countryside wedding with a hotel by the sea.

Yes. There is on-site parking for you, your guests and your suppliers, with plenty of room for taxis, private transfers and coaches, so arrivals and departures stay simple even for a larger wedding party.

Please try not to worry, because this is exactly what we are here for. Our planners arrive with an emergency wedding kit for the little mishaps, from needle and thread, safety pins and stain remover to plasters, spare cufflinks and more, and we know the trusted local services for anything bigger. Casa de la Era sits just outside Marbella, so help is only minutes away. A few we would turn to:
