Ca n'Alzina

About the venue

Ca n'Alzina, Igualada

Ca n'Alzina is a restored stone Catalan farmhouse on a hill outside Igualada, looking over the forested Rubió mountains, about 45 minutes from Barcelona and 50 minutes from the airport. The whole venue is yours for the day, for weddings of up to 250 guests, with the ceremony on the lawn above the valley, drinks in the gardens and terraces, a banquet under the reed pergola, and indoor banquet and party halls for cooler days. Its own chefs cook in the on-site kitchen, the main house sleeps 21, and Wedinspire lists weddings from about €9,640 for 50 guests with catering and drinks included.

Ca n'Alzina is a traditional Catalan masia on the outskirts of Igualada, in open countryside with wide views across the pine-covered Rubió mountains. The stone house keeps its beams, flagstone floors and great arched windows, finished in a relaxed, rustic style, and it is run by the UAUU weddings and events team.

Ceremonies take place outdoors on a lawn at the edge of the hill, bordered by a stone wall, with the forested valley as the backdrop. Guests then move through the gardens and terraces for drinks before sitting down to a long banquet under the reed-roofed pergola as the sun sets over the valley.

For cooler months or if the weather turns, there is a bright indoor banquet hall and a stone-pillared party hall opening onto a terrace with mountain views. Food is a highlight: Ca n'Alzina has its own chefs and kitchen, with show cooking, sushi buffets and plated dishes, and catering, drinks and a wedding planner are included.

The main house has been restored with suites and family rooms for up to 21 guests, so the couple and closest family can stay the night. For Saturday weddings from May to October the rooms are booked together with the venue, which makes it a natural fit for a relaxed wedding weekend.
