Mapa & Jeremy celebrated their love with 115 guests who traveled from around the world to their destination wedding in Barcelona, Spain. The celebration took place at Castell de Tous, a 1,000-year-old castle surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, perfectly reflecting the couple’s shared love for hiking and the outdoors. The symbolic ceremony was held under a natural wooden arch adorned with white drapery, greenery, and blush-toned flowers, with small olive bouquets hanging on white chairs for a timeless touch. A multicultural affair, the ceremony featured heartfelt traditions, such as family members warming the rings in an Irish ritual, speeches in both Spanish and English to honor their Colombian and American roots, and the breaking of the glass to celebrate a lifetime of happiness.

Guests were welcomed with a beer pot featuring the best Spanish brands, flavored waters, and a lemonade stand to refresh after their journey to the castle, while the couple shared a tender first-look moment inside. During the cocktail hour outside the castle, Aperol spritzes, mojitos, negronis, martinis, spanish delicatessen and the Iberian ham live station delighted everyone, with signature cocktails named after the couple’s beloved pets, Daisy and Gatsby. Tables were named after cities the couple had traveled to, and their grand entrance during the cocktail hour was nothing short of spectacular, as they walked in holding smoke bombs to the tune of Feel the Love by Rudimental.

Dinner was served inside the castle, where long and round tables were adorned with vintage gold centerpieces featuring hydrangeas and roses, golden cutlery, rustic sous plats, and elegant ivory napkins. Guests enjoyed Catalonian wines paired with a menu of prawns, cod, and two indulgent desserts. Travel tag favors on each plate highlighted the couple’s passion for adventure and travel.

The evening continued with the couple's first dance under the stars, followed by parent dances and a high-energy party that brought Colombians and Americans together for an unforgettable celebration. Laughter, games, group dances, and wild joy filled the castle, creating magical memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Mapa & Jeremy, for letting us be part of your incredible love story!
