About us · Barcelona wedding planners
At Les Recettes, every wedding is accompanied personally by Bruno Bonnier, founder and coordinator of Atelier Bonnier. He is your first point of contact and the person who runs each celebration from beginning to end, alongside Aldara and Cinthia, your planners on the ground in Barcelona.
Every love story deserves a wedding that is perfectly planned and beautifully carried out. That is what we do at Les Recettes, for couples who want something intimate, personal and unmistakably theirs.
From the first bite to the final timeline, we handle every detail. Whether it's twelve guests on a vineyard terrace or a grand evening by the sea, your celebration will feel effortlessly yours.

Wedding catering in Barcelona
Les Recettes is a boutique catering and wedding planning studio. Your menu, your timeline and your styling are designed together, by one team, so your celebration feels effortlessly yours.
We create weddings with a distinct identity. Every menu is personal: we craft gastronomic experiences that tell your love story through flavour, turning a traditional wedding menu into an emotional narrative.
Because catering and coordination sit under one team, everything stays in sync. Design and cuisine are aligned from the first idea, the timeline is built around the service, and you deal with a single provider instead of a dozen. That also keeps your budget and logistics under control.
When you visit Barcelona, menu tastings and wine tastings can be part of your planning trip. And for destination weddings, we coordinate the whole weekend: the welcome party the day before, the wedding day itself, and the brunch the morning after.
“From the first bite to the final timeline, we handle every detail.”
Why choose us
Catering and coordination under one team. One point of contact, and nobody passing the blame between vendors.
We deal with venues in Spanish and Catalan, review every contract and translate every condition for you.
Where you met, where you've travelled, what you love to eat. It all becomes the dinner your guests talk about for years.
A minute-by-minute timeline, every vendor reconfirmed, and one coordinator answering every question on the day.
Photographers, florists, DJs and transport we know personally and have vetted, at local rates we've negotiated.
Shuttles, hotel blocks and guests flying in from three time zones. We plan around them so your budget goes on what matters.

Real weddings in Barcelona & Catalonia
“It should feel like the best dinner party of your life, with the two of you at the head of the table.”
Where we plan weddings
Your guests fly into one airport, Barcelona–El Prat, and everything else is within an easy drive. These are the settings couples ask us for most.
Rooftops over the Gothic Quarter, courtyards and modernist buildings, for couples who want the city itself in the photographs.
Cliffs, coves and sea-view terraces an hour north of the city. Our most requested setting for a ceremony at golden hour.
Cava country, 45 minutes from Barcelona. Long tables between the vines and dinners that run late into the night.
Medieval villages, masías and farmhouses with old stone courtyards, for intimate weddings of twenty to eighty guests.
Whitewashed streets and beach clubs, easy for guests staying in the city and ideal for a welcome party.
Montserrat, the Pyrenees and beyond. If you have somewhere in mind in Spain, tell us and we'll tell you honestly whether it works.
Kind words
These are real Google reviews of the Atelier Bonnier team, on the Bruno Bonnier listing, where the reputation of our coordination and catering lives: 61 reviews, 5.0 average.
“The amount of planning, coordination, logistics, and hard work required to execute multiple events for so many people is honestly mind-boggling to me, yet his team handled everything seamlessly and with such grace.”
“They were professional, organised, and had everything under control from start to finish, which meant we could simply relax and enjoy the day.”
“They were so committed to help us through the process. They gave us very constructive advice and connected us with different vendors (e.g. rental, DJ).”
“We hardly even noticed them during the wedding day itself; everything ran smoothly and the food was served at the right time, all without disrupting the flow of the day.”
“My saving grace for the whole weekend with coordinating, preparing, scheduling, and laying out everything day of.”
“He also doubled as my wedding planner and coordinator, and was very hands-on and helpful from start to finish.”

WhatsApp usA.Almost all of our couples plan from overseas, and our destination planning page explains exactly how it works. We work by video call, email and WhatsApp in your time zone, and we act as your local office in Barcelona, visiting venues, meeting vendors and handling contracts for you. When you fly in for tastings or site visits, we go with you.
A.Many international couples complete the legal paperwork at home and celebrate with a symbolic ceremony here. It's simpler and gives you complete freedom over the setting, the officiant and the words. We'll talk through your options on your discovery call.
A.For the Bespoke Recipe, 12–18 months is ideal. For the Signature Recipe, around 9–12 months. The Base Recipe can be booked from 6 months out. Dates in May, June, September and October fill quickly, so check yours early.
A.In Barcelona and across Catalonia: the Costa Brava cliffs, the Penedès vineyards, Girona's medieval villages, Sitges, the Empordà and more. Barcelona–El Prat has direct flights from several US cities.
A.Yes. We work with you in English from the first call to the wedding day, and we deal with venues and vendors in Spanish and Catalan on your behalf. Nothing gets lost in translation, and your guests are looked after in English too.
A.Our planning packages start at €1,200 + VAT for day-of coordination, €1,800 + VAT for partial planning and €3,500 + VAT for full planning, and décor is quoted separately on your concept. The rest of your budget depends on your guest count, the venue and the season. On your discovery call we'll give you an honest estimate for the wedding you're describing, before you commit to anything. Our guide to what a wedding in Barcelona costs breaks down every line.
A.May, June, September and early October give you long, warm evenings without the peak-summer heat, which is why those dates book first. July and August are hot at midday but work beautifully with a late-afternoon ceremony and a dinner that starts at sunset. Spring and autumn also tend to be kinder to your budget.
A.Yes, and it's what makes us different. As part of the Atelier Bonnier family, our catering, bar and décor teams work alongside your planner. Décor collections pair with any package and are quoted on your concept. More about our wedding catering.
A.Vendor fees for florals, music, sound & lighting, hair & makeup, photography & video, décor and rentals are separate. We source, negotiate and manage all of them, often at better local rates than you'd find alone.
