We were so fortunate to celebrate our wedding at Cigarral de las Mercedes last month, and it's truly hard to put into words just how incredible the entire experience was from start to finish. The venue itself is beyond stunning and photos don’t even begin to do it justice—but what truly sets it apart is the hospitality and service from the entire team. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Every single person we encountered was kind, warm, and welcoming, and that energy made all the difference throughout our time there. The food experience was exceptional—every dish we tried was amazing, and choosing our menu was nearly impossible because everything was so delicious. The culinary quality is top-tier, and every guest raved about everything that was served. What makes this venue truly unique is that they can handle absolutely everything in-house: catering, florals, hair and makeup, music, décor, setup, etc. and every service was better than any outside vendor we could’ve imagined. Everything they provide is thoughtful, high-quality, and tailored to your vision. All while being a a fully-serviced hotel, so your guests can relax and enjoy the entire experience without having to worry about logistics. A special thank you to Sara, Jayne, Kelsey, Bianca and the entire Gunderson & Lleida family, who made the entire planning process seamless—even while we were living abroad in different time zones. They thought of everything. Not a single detail was overlooked, and their professionalism and warmth made the journey not just easy, but truly enjoyable. We can’t thank the entire team enough. They brought our dream wedding to life, and gave us and our loved ones the most perfect week of our lives. It was truly unforgettable, and we will cherish these memories forever.
