Why marry in the Canary Islands?
The Canary Islands are the one part of Spain where a wedding works in any month. Temperatures sit in the low to mid twenties most of the year, the landscapes are volcanic and dramatic, and the sun sets over the Atlantic. Flights from the UK take around four to four and a half hours. We currently list one Tenerife venue and can source others to suit you.

Why the Canaries
Why couples choose the Canary Islands
A wedding in any month
Spring-like weather most of the year makes the Canaries the best choice for a winter or early-spring wedding in Spain.
Dramatic scenery
Volcanic landscapes, black-sand beaches and Atlantic sunsets give photographs nowhere else in Spain can.
Good flight links
Frequent flights from the UK and Ireland to Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote all year round.
Plenty for guests
Hiking, whale and dolphin watching, beaches and stargazing make it easy to turn the wedding into a holiday.
When to marry
Best time of year to get married in the Canary Islands
The Canaries run on the same clock as the UK and Ireland, one hour behind mainland Spain, which makes life easy for guests. The temperature barely changes through the year, from about 22°C in winter to 28°C in late summer on the sunny south coast of Tenerife, so the choice of month is about light, sunset times and travel rather than heat.
Winter (December to February)
The best place in Spain for a winter wedding, with days around 22°C. Santa Cruz’s carnival, one of the biggest in the world, fills hotels in February or early March, so check dates.
Spring (March to May)
Clear, comfortable days and lengthening evenings. May is one of the driest months, and the north of Tenerife is at its greenest.
Summer (June to August)
Warm rather than hot on the coast, cooled by the trade winds. Occasional calima, dust blown from the Sahara, can haze the sky for a day or two.
Autumn (September to November)
The sea is at its warmest and the light is soft. Rain becomes a little more likely from November, mainly in the north.

Timing the day in the Canaries
The sun is strong all year this far south, even when the air feels mild, so shade and sunscreen matter in winter as well as summer. The sun is highest around 13:15 in winter and 14:10 in summer, local time. On the west coast the sun sets over the Atlantic, often behind La Gomera, so a ceremony about two hours before sunset gives you golden-hour photos with the island on the horizon. Choose a sheltered spot for the ceremony on windier days.
Costs and travel
Costs are broadly similar to the Spanish mainland: from about €18,000 for 50 to 80 guests, rising for resort venues and peak dates. See our wedding costs in Spain.
Tenerife South airport is around 25 minutes from the Guía de Isora coast. Flights from the UK take around four to four and a half hours, so most guests make a week of it.
