After literally months and over 100 meetings Gran Canaria Weddings and Celebrations SL has managed to persuade the authorities in Gran Canaria to make it easier for couples either wishing to get legally married or have civil partnerships anywhere on the Island
Before the changes were made, if a couple wished to be married here they would have to visit 3 separate occasions in one year to complete paperwork and fulfil residency requirements which was ridiculous, expensive and off putting
Couples of the same sex were also told they couldnt have their love for each other legally done as tourists here as they were told that gay marriage wasnt valid outside Spain!
So Gran Canaria Weddings then tackled that issue and established that people were being told the wrong information by the local authorities, and we have confirmation now that a Gay Marriage in Spain is legally recognised as a Civil Partnership in the UK and other european countries where the union of a gay couple is legally recognised as well, which is a welcome boost for an Island which is a mecca for Gay Couples as well due to its liberal views and openeess for all people
Under the new arrangements, Gran Canaria Weddings and Celebrants is able to present all of the legal documents on behalf of the couples using a power of attorney type system and thus saving the couples considerable amounts of money as well.

The brand new Baby Bentley comes with its own uniformed driver, wedding ribbons and will enhance weddings and other celebrations across the Island.
