Hiya Nicola,
Sorry for the delay in responding. I have just moved house and only just got my Broadband up and running.
I'm pleased you found the info useful and that you liked the venue. It is stunning and something a little bit different. They can definitely cater for a much bigger guest list. In fact the main room which they use for larger functions is beautiful. The staff there are really accommodating and basically I could have had anything I wanted, and I did!! The events manager as the Yacht Club is not a planner as such but will put you in contact with people who do the Flowers and cake etc. Having said that, she did organise the Spanish Guitarist we had playing and the Fireworks. These were all contracted to the Yacht Club and were included in our final bill. If you were to have entertainment in the evening, I'm sure they could arrange this too.
For the flowers we used a company called The Black Rose in Palma. They do lots of weddings and I must say my flowers were amazing. Just what I wanted. They weren't cheap though. The bloke who owns the company explained that flowers in Majorca are more expensive than the UK as they are flown in from Holland. However I did opt for mango cala lilies which were probably one of the most expensive flowers at €13 per stem!! There would be cheaper options I'm sure. He explained that if I'd have wanted white calas then they are grown on Majorca and would have been €1 per stem!!! Again, the Black Rose gave me exactly what I wanted, I provided pictures of the kind of thing I wanted and they re-created them. Everything was arranged over the phone or by e-mail. It was dead easy.
You can definitely get married in a church even though you are not catholic. We did. The Anglican Church kind of rent the churches from the Catholic Church. The vicar will be quick to tell you it isn't the cheapest way of doing things as you have to pay for the registry office here which is £100 and then pay the catholic church for using the church which I think was £120 and then the Anglican church for the vicars time etc £150. But again, we wanted a church so just paid it.
If you are definitely thinking of getting married in Majorca I can send you the e-mail address for the vicar. I would drop him a line and explain what you want and when you are looking to get married. I’m sure he will sort something out for you. He’s a really lovely man.
As for hotels, there are loads in and around Cala D’Or. If you go onto Travel Republic and search for Hotels in Cala D’Or it will throw most of them up. If however you have family and friends going over you might want to consider renting villas. This is what we did and it probably worked out cheaper. For example we rented a villa to sleep 6 people for £850 which included Hire car for the week. This villa was right behind the Yacht Club so really convenient.
For our honey moon we had 3 nights in The Blau Porto Petro which is a 5* resort 5 minutes from Cala D’Or. It’s expensive but fantastic and just what my H and I needed after the wedding when all out guests had gone home.
Hope all this helps. If you need e-mail addresses, telephone numbers or need to know anything else, just let me know.
