9. What Brides Said…
“MASSIVE THANK YOU TO PALOMA our Wedding Coordinator who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran so smoothly with the wedding plans and on the day she is truly a credit to Catalonia and was there every step of the way. She met us to say goodbye on our last day when we had our romantic meal on the beach and we were so sad to be leaving her and the whole place. The meal on the beach was fab and finished our holiday so well.”
Sam Kelly
“We held our wedding at Catalonia this past November and everything exceeded expectations from the wedding itself (absolutely perfect) to our guests being well cared for during their stay! None of us had any complaints, and if something was wrong, they went out of their way to make sure it was corrected and made up for! The food was great, the service was great, and the cost was budget friendly! We would stay at Catalonia again and again, we love it :)”
