Symbolic Wedding
A symbolic wedding is a celebration of love without bureaucracy – no paperwork, no legalities, just a ceremony that truly reflects who you are as a couple. It’s ideal if you're already legally married, don’t want a civil ceremony, or simply want to express your bond in your own unique way. There are no rules here – only your connection matters. Whether it's on top of a mountain, deep in the forest, by a cliff, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you – everything is possible. Your ceremony can include rituals, personalized vows, music, fire, nature… whatever resonates with you. This isn’t about signing a contract – it’s about feeling, freedom, and authenticity. It’s about what you mean to each other.

Some places don’t need decoration—they need restraint. Mirador del Balcón, also known as Andén Verde, is one of the most dramatic viewpoints on Gran Canaria’s west coast, near La Aldea de San Nicolás. Here, the ceremony backdrop is pure landscape: a vast Atlantic horizon, rugged cliff lines, volcanic ground, and a sense of space that feels almost unreal. On clear days, the horizon can open toward Tenerife, and you may even glimpse Mount Teide in the distance—Spain’s highest peak. The result is a ceremony setting that reads instantly on camera: bold, minimal, and deeply natural. This post focuses on one specific ceremony spot and a behind-the-scenes setup approach. Why Mirador del Balcón works so well for intimate ceremonies…

Why the vow is the heartbeat of your intimate ceremony Many think first about venue, decor or dress. But what will give you goosebumps years from now is that piece of truth between you.
