18:30 · Arrival
You arrive through the palms
Exit 105 off the motorway, towards Cartaya. Five minutes later the white gable rises between the palms. The whole day happens here, without moving on.

Weddings at Hacienda Valdeflores
Lime-wash, red ochre and palms.
One day that’s yours.
Weddings at an Andalusian hacienda five minutes from Cartaya: ceremony, drinks, dinner and dancing, all in one place.
Now at Valdeflores
The place
A hacienda high on Las Cabezuelas
Halls, garden and parking: 12,200 m² on the upper part of the estate, hosting weddings since 2002.
The day
From half past six in the evening to first light
Twelve hours, told by the light. This is how a wedding day unfolds at Valdeflores, calculated for a real date.
19:30 · The ceremony
Saying yes in the garden
Civil ceremonies are held in the garden itself, among poplars and palms. Marrying in church? The hacienda is waiting for you afterwards.
20:15 · Drinks reception
Drinks on the far side of the garden
An in-house kitchen, traditional and local: a ham carver, canapés passed round and, if you like, buffets in a corner of the garden.
“The food was truly spectacular.”
21:52 · Sunset
The sun sets behind the hacienda
While the drinks go on, the lime-wash turns gold, then pink, then blue.
22:15 · Dinner
In the hall, or under the stars
Two ways to dine, both of them here.
700diners · The hall
The largest of the halls: arches, chandeliers and a terracotta floor. Dinner under a roof, whatever the weather.
5,000m² · The garden
Tables among palms and strings of lights, or a standing dinner, drinks-style, with buffets along one side of the garden.
00:45 · Dancing
No closing time
An open bar, music and, in the small hours, the late-night supper. Here the party has no set time to end.
“I’d marry again tomorrow!”
06:46 · First light
The hacienda goes back to sleep
At first light the lanterns go out one by one, and the lime-wash turns white again.
07:08 · Sunrise
“The best memory of my life was made at that hacienda.”
