Finca Morneta

About the venue

Finca Morneta, Binissalem

Finca Morneta is a family-run Mallorcan possessió in the countryside of Binissalem, in the wine country at the heart of the island, about 20 minutes from Palma and 25 minutes from the airport. Its history goes back to an Islamic-era farmstead recorded at the conquest of 1229, and it has 2,000 m² of gardens for summer ceremonies and dinners, an outdoor pergola for up to 250 people and three historic stone halls: an olive-oil press of 1729, a 16th-century cellar and a 17th-century cistern. Wedinspire lists weddings for up to 150 guests from about €5,000 including a night in the Morneta Suite for the couple; you bring your own caterer, and there is no music curfew.

Morneta takes its name from an ancient alqueria, a farmstead that already existed when King Jaume I conquered Mallorca in 1229. Parts of the buildings may date back to the 11th century, and Talayotic, Roman and Islamic remains have been found around the estate.

Weddings run in the family. In 1953 Alfonso Vivo y Triay bought the estate from the Gual de Torrella family as a wedding present for his daughter, and exactly 60 years later his great-grandson Nicolás Morell married Lucia Doglio here. Today the couple run Morneta and host weddings themselves.

Summer weddings centre on the 2,000 m² of gardens, with space for ceremonies, drinks and dinner under the sun, and an outdoor pergola that can hold up to 250 people. Inside, three restored historic rooms offer an atmospheric alternative: the Tafona, the old olive-oil press dated 1729, the 16th-century Celler and the 17th-century Aljibe.

The estate works as a canvas: bring in contemporary furniture and big florals, or let the stone walls and gardens speak for themselves. You bring your own caterer, and the couple stay the night in the Morneta Suite, with Palma and plenty of hotels within 20 minutes for guests.
