Nerja Weddings by Sonya

Experiencia fantástica: We cannot recommend Sonya enough. I could write pages and pages of feedback! She is absolutely amazing at what she does. She made all of our dreams come true and we could not have pulled it off without her. Nothing was ever and issue and she made sure everything was organised and arranged to a tee. Her presence was second to none on the day and everything could not have gone better. So many of our guests commented on how amazing she was on the Wedding Day. We wouldnt change a single thing - and I never thought I would say this as I am a control freak and perfectionist myself haha. I wish we could do it all over again! I miss all of our voice messages and emails since the wedding. Sonya was like a friend to us and her service and expertise in weddings in Nerja is second to none. There really is only one Sonya! If I could give a 100 star review I would. Everyone needs a Sonya in their lives ❤️Lots of love, Gillian, Evan & Kallie xxx

Experiencia fantástica: We had out dream Wedding in Nerja thanks to Sonya & Matt! When we decided to have our wedding in Nerja, choosing Sonya was an easy decision. She had planned my sister’s wedding and two of our family friends weddings over 10 years ago, and they all had nothing but amazing things to say and now we understand why! From my very first email about getting married in 2025, Sonya was incredibly organised and responsive. She and her husband, Matt, helped us find the perfect venue and plan what truly was the most incredible day. Every detail was so well thought out, and it showed, everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. Matt was also a huge help, arranging our pre-wedding get together and booking our Day Two celebrations. They both made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress free. Booking our vendors — from the hair and makeup artists to the band, DJ, and photographer, was effortless thanks to Sonya’s great relationships with them all. She laid everything out so clearly, which made planning and budgeting so much easier. We honestly don’t think our day would have been as perfect without Sonya and Matt’s help. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough they made our dream wedding a reality! Shannon & Alan O’Reilly

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya is the best! Due to personal reasons we were unable to make our first trip out, Sonya made sure everything was in check for another date and we are beyond grateful for Sonya’s support at that time as we know there is a lot of moving parts to organising visits. We had the best day with Sonya and Mat when we finally got to go on our first visit. She really a perfectionist, we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner. She keeps us in the loop with every little detail (a lot of details we would forget)making a usually stressful time easy! Sonya really does go above and beyond. And Mat too!! We are so excited for our upcoming 2026 wedding, thanks so much xxxx

Experiencia fantástica: We can’t recommend Sonya highly enough! From the very beginning, she was organised, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. She took our vision and brought it to life with such care and attention to detail — everything ran so smoothly thanks to her! Sonya was always one step ahead with every single aspect of planning and she did it all with warmth and kindness. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our day knowing she had everything under control. Thank you, Sonya, for making our day so beautiful and stress-free. You’re an absolute star!

Experiencia fantástica: We had our wedding in October, planned by Sonya and cannot even begin to find the words to explain how incredible she is. From the very first time we spoke she had us as such ease, and from every step through she gave us the greatest advice, made sure every single detail was noted and made sure we had fun through the whole process. We never felt stressed as she was so organized which really let us enjoy the run up to the big day. On the day, she was superwoman, constantly running around, making sure everything was perfect without us even realizing she was there. Mat also helped organized our welcome drinks and day 2, and was constantly there to answer all of our small questions. If you are planning a wedding in Nerja, look no further.

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya is without a doubt one of the most nicest, organised and professional people I have ever come across. We first saw Sonya in action at a family wedding and could see instantly how well the day flowed from her communication to guests to overall organisation. On our wedding day itself she was there from start to finish and checked in with us throughout. I don't know how she has eyes on everything but she does! I can't thank her enough for making the lead up to our big day so stress-free which allowed us to enjoy our wedding to it's fullest. Huge credit also to her husband Matthew and son Addy who were a great help on the day and are such lovely people :) Amanda & James 24 June 2025 xxx

Just an overall great person. Thanks so much Sonya for making our wedding so amazing x

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya has been a delight to work with while planning our wedding for June 2026. From the first phone call, before we had even been to Spain, we could tell Sonya was experienced, extremely knowledgeable and that we would be in safe hands with her.

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya has been absolutely incredible to work with! She is extremely detailed, organized, and thoughtful in everything she does. From the very beginning, she’s always been available to chat and brainstorm ideas for our big day, making the entire planning process so much easier and more enjoyable. When we met Sonya and her husband Matt for our site visit in October, they couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. They collected us from our hotel, arranged all our meetings, and acted as the main point of contact for everything — which took so much stress off our shoulders. Sonya also created fantastic checklists and timelines to make sure nothing was overlooked, and she and Matt always check in with us regularly to share updates and keep everything on track. Their communication and support have left us feeling completely at ease and confident that every detail is being taken care of. Our wedding is in May 2026, and we honestly can’t wait for it! We’re so grateful to have Sonya guiding us through the process — she truly goes above and beyond to make wedding planning seamless and enjoyable.

Experiencia fantástica: Got married in April 2025. Sonya was the best wedding planner we could have hoped for. She is meticulously detailed, efficient, knowledgeable about all things weddings and Nerja! I can't praise her and Mat enough and would highly recommend her services. She has a brilliant relationship with all the best suppliers which makes sure you have the best possible day possible. Everything from the initial meeting to the day itself and the follow up afterwards was perfect

Experiencia fantástica: She is an absolute delight Sonya has been an absolute sweetheart to both me and my fiancee. Our wedding isn’t until next summer, but we’ve already had the pleasure of meeting her twice to organise our special day. Without her knowledge and experience, we wouldn’t have had a clue where to begin. She’s been so thorough with her list of suppliers, her attention to detail, and her focus on what we truly want as a couple. During our second visit, she had everything arranged for us — from appointments to meeting the staff — and everyone we encountered, from the hair and makeup team, the venue staff, the photographer was an absolute joy. It was even more comforting to see how much love and respect all these suppliers have for Sonya. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Communication with her is so easy, whether through emails or voice notes, and she’s always so attentive. I can’t wait for our special day, knowing that having her by our side will make everything run as smoothly as possible. Lots of love Dearbhla & Lara xx

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone needs a Sonya in their lives ❤️ The most professional, hardworking lady with such attention to detail. Our wedding day was perfection. People often commented how stress free I was leading up to the wedding, my response was ' There's no stress when you have someone like Sonya organising your wedding day'. Wish we could do it all again

Experiencia fantástica: I came across Sonya on Instagram, and from the moment I reached out, I knew she was top tier. I’m getting married in 2026, and she has made the entire planning process feel so calm and easy. Whenever people ask how wedding planning is going, I always say, “Sonya’s got it under control.” Her organisation is incredible — she keeps us updated and on track without ever making it feel stressful. She’s also so easy to get along with, and the whole experience feels really personal. I’m the most indecisive person ever, but with Sonya’s guidance and honest opinions, decision-making has actually been simple (and even fun!). I genuinely couldn’t have done this without her. She’s absolutely at the top of her game.

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya and her husband Mat were absolutely amazing, we couldn't of asked for a better day. From the initial consultation, Sonya was hands on with details, recommendations, photos and videos of her venues and vendors. They made the process so simple and stress free especially as we were organising from Australia. Nothing was ever too much or difficult. We had everything organised so far in advance that we never had to stress. I'm so glad we used Sonya and her vendors as we and our guests had the most amazing day. If your considering a wedding abroad, choose Nerja and you cannot do it without Sonya.

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya is planning our 2026 wedding. Both her and Matt have been amazing so far. From the first time I made contact with Sonya up until now she has been so helpful.

From the very beginning of our journey, she made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Her professionalism, warmth, and dedication to every detail were truly unmatched.

We would recommend her wholeheartedly to any future couples planning their special day in Nerja. Thank you again, Sonya! Leanne & Patrick ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: My partner and I asked Sonya to help organise our wedding in Nerja back 2022. She responded really quickly and whilst on holiday in Nerja we were able to view several potential venues. From then on until our wedding in May 2024 we were really impressed by Sonya's network of suppliers, her professionalism, amazing organisational skills, knowledge and her communication. Sonya is extremely hard working and once we had made our supplier selections she organised everything. We returned in October 2023 to meet Sonya and some suppliers and everything was brilliantly organised and very thorough. On the day of the wedding all of Sonya's hard work and dedication paid off as we had an amazing day and we didn't have to worry or stress about a thing. Sonya is a super friendly, hard working and an amazingly organised person who made planning our wedding seem effortless. We cannot recommend Sonya highly enough if you are considering planning your wedding in Nerja or the surrounding areas. Steve & Kathryn

Experiencia fantástica: What can I say, other then absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Sonya is outstanding at what she does. From the moment we met her it was clear that she was the right planner for us. Sonya is extremely professional, organised and efficient but as well as this she is so kind with her time and so invested to make sure she does everything she can for the couples she works with. We had a large wedding of 130 people and so many of them commented on how cool calm and helpful Sonya was. She is full of knowledge and expertise and having her as a planner meant there was very little for us to worry about or sort. We are extremely grateful and feel so lucky to have had Sonya take care of our special day. I must mention Matt too. Matt is Sonya's husband who is a ledged and helped us with some of the extras. A brilliant team :)

I´ve been working with her for more than 10 years now and I just love it, when she´s in charge I just know that nothing can go wrong!!

So how did we end up there well its down to the ,out amazing wedding planner Sonya and yes we mean amazing so much so a couple at our wedding have booked her for 2024. Sonya from the first time we met her she was professional, polite and to the point they way we like it. What a wedding planner worth her weight in gold and could go against any of the world's to planners. You were just the best and words just not enough to tell you how much you made our week and the big day amazing. From the start of the morning of the big day to the end and all that we're involved singers, hair, celebrant, the venue which was out of this world etc etc etc it went to smooth our guests were lifted speechless. Our guests could not believe how much attention to detail Sonya gave on the day and the meal making sure all our guests were looked after yes can say it's her job but no what she did was way and beyond, Yes even last minute arranging Tayto crisps for us We want to thank Matthew who is Sonya's husband as Matt arranged all our pre and post events and much more like little details as in suntan lotion, freshen up kits, water on the bus and alot more so thanks Matt. So any future couples reading this Sonya is the best and you would not go wrong having her as your planner Sonya thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and we will see you again for a more relaxed catch when we are back in nerja. Thanks the new Mr & Mrs Hynes

Experiencia fantástica: In 2019, in the good time cafe, the waitress asked what we were doing in Nerja. We told her we had planned to look at venues to get married, and we were due to meet a potential wedding planner that day. Her response was "Is it Sonya, cos she's the best?". Luckily for us it was! As soon as we met Sonya we knew she was the person we could trust to plan the day of our dreams. We had to postpone twice as did so many other couples. Sonya took it in her stride, the super organised wonder woman, always at the other end of the phone, took charge and sorted everything out for us. With Mat, her husband helping guests who had bookings elsewhere get rebooked for three years later! All this done without extra costs or any hassle, mostly because the suppliers in Nerja have the utmost respect for Sonya & Mat. This is evident on meeting any of them. She refers to them as the team, and that's exactly what they are! A team, regardless of who you choose; flowers, hair, make up, music, ceremony, photo & video.. On that day they will work together, to become your team to give you the day of your dreams! Our guests all knew who Sonya was by the end of the evening, and all commented on her attention to detail and her organisational skills. We couldn't put into words how thankful we are to have met Sonya & her team, to have such an important day with no worries is very rare, and absolutely wonderful.

Experiencia fantástica: Without a doubt wouldn't have had half the wedding without Sonya. So organised and dedicated! Her attention to detail is something to be admired. Highly recommend to anyone considering a wedding in Nerja!

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya is one of the most professional weddings planners I've ever met and it's always a pleasure to work with her. She will make your dreams come true on the most special day of your life.

Experiencia fantástica: We got married in July 2022 and there was only one wedding planner we were ever going to chose. From our first meeting to the day of the wedding Sonya and Matt where amazing. Sonya's attention to detail and organisation skills are second to none. She was always available whether it was what's app, email or a phone call she answered almost immediately. The suppliers and recommendations she provides are 5 star. Even on the day of the wedding our guests commented on how attentive she was. She remembered every small detail we had mentioned about out guests. If you are anyway undecided don't be, you will be in the best hands. If you mention Sonya in Nerja most people will say Superwomen, and they would not be lying. Emma and Eric July 2022.

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya had full control of our day way back in 2015 still to this day our wedding is talked about from start to finish we cant belive how fast time has gone almost 10 years yet we still love nerja and still continue to vist. Thank you sonya and matt.

Experiencia fantástica: We will never be able to thank Sonya enough for giving us the best day of our lives.From the very first moment we got in contact with Sonya we knew we had made the right decision.And after meeting her on our first visit it confirmed we had made the right choice to have her as our wedding planner. Nothing was ever too much trouble with Sonya, she was always available to answer any questions we had ,was so quick responding to emails and had everything organised so well. Despite the fact we had to postpone 2 times due to covid ,Sonya took it all in her stride and made changing dates and reorganising suppliers so easy .We never had any worries and knew all we had to do was show up on the day and everything would be taken care off. The wedding day itself was amazing and Sonya was there all day to oversee everything and make sure the day ran smoothly . So many guests complimented her and how great she was. She gave us the best day we could have asked for and so many great memories I only wish we could turn back time and do it all over again.

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya is simply the best. She is so organised that the whole experience of wedding preparations was simply a pleasure and we didn't have to stress about ANYTHING.

Experiencia fantástica: Sonya was our wedding planner for our wedding in May 2022. From the start to end of process she is was excellent in every way. She was extremely professional, responsive and always gave more information than required to help us make our decisions. She was able to provide us with all the suppliers and services we needed and no ask was ever too much for her. We would recommend her to anyone who was considering a wedding in Nerja. We got married in Jardines Del Trapiches with over 200 guests and Sonya took it all in her stride. She had every minute of the day organised to a tee which meant we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could enjoy the day which we really did. Thank you Sonya, we can never thank you enough for organising the best day of our lives!

Experiencia fantástica: Unfortunately although we had to cancel our wedding due to travel restrictions this year. I would without any hesitation recommend Sonya as a wedding planner. She is extremely organised professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. We worked planning our wedding with Sonya and she made it very simple and stress free. If you are looking for a planner Nerja you won't be disappointed with Sonya.
