For many years, El Cortijo de Los Caballos has hosted some of the most elegant, romantic and beautiful weddings in the Costa del Sol in the South of Spain. We have witnessed many couples getting married under our trees and we would love to help you create an unforgettable experience for this special day.
The Cortijo de los Caballos is located 45 minutes from Málaga and Gibraltar airport. We have private drivers for airport pick-ups so check with us before booking taxis as they tend to be more expensive than the private ones.
We work with the amazing Sana Catering & Events who do all our planning and catering. Once you book, they will send you a list of recommended & trusted suppliers.
We hold intimate weddings from 30 to a maximum of 130 guests. On the estate we have sleeping accommodation for a maximum of 54 guests ( with extra beds and cots).
There is no extra charge for holding your wedding at the Cortijo. You would be paying for the wedding package (i.e. the planning service and suppliers) and catering on the day. The people staying at the venue would normally share the cost of the villa rental between them and the bridal couple would pay for all the wedding day costs.
Yes, you have exclusive use of the entire property. We also have a gate with a code for privacy.
Unfortunately, it is still only possible to legally marry in the church, and you need to be either a Spanish resident and/or Catholic for that. Anything outside of the church would be a blessing and not a legal ceremony. It would be possible to get married in Gibraltar, but we do not recommend doing this on the same day as the celebrations, most people get married the week before in their home country.
The music must finish at 1 am at weekends and midnight on weekdays. Please do not let the 1am finish time be a deterrent though as you are usually having events the day before and the day after the wedding. You will find this makes 1am a very natural finish time for everyone. Some brides and grooms told us they liked finishing on a high note and then being able to get some sleep and enjoy the get-together event the following day :)
Viewings are on changeover days and by appointment only, please check with us before booking a flight for a viewing to avoid disappointment. During the winter it is possible to view the venue on other days or even on weekends but bear in mind that our wedding planners, only work during the week so if you would like to have a chat with one of them too, please make sure you come and view on a weekday.
The Cortijo is booked and paid for by the couple. How you split the cost with your guests is entirely up to you. It's uncommon for couples to cover the full accommodation, and guests don't expect it. Most couples take on a larger share, since it's their celebration, and ask their guests to contribute towards the rest.
