Plan your wedding in San Sebastián with wedding website

Wedding Website for a San Sebastián Wedding

A San Sebastián wedding website does serious work because guests are typically arriving from multiple countries via two or three different airports, navigating Basque cultural elements that are distinct from generic Spanish, and (often) extending the trip with food-focused excursions. Detail and clarity in the website pay back many times over.

Essential Pages

A strong San Sebastián wedding website covers: an introduction to the couple and to the Basque region (many guests won't know the cultural distinction); a complete event schedule with addresses, times, and dress codes; transport instructions covering flights to Bilbao vs. Biarritz vs. San Sebastián airport, transfer options, AVE train alternatives from Madrid or Barcelona, and rental car advice; an accommodation page across price tiers with booking links and proximity notes; a packing and weather page (cool summers, possible rain — guests should bring layers); FAQ covering travel, currency, language (Spanish, Basque, French signage), and tipping; an RSVP form capturing dietary preferences and song requests.

Multilingual Setup

San Sebastián weddings often have Spanish, English, and French speakers in roughly equal proportions, plus occasional German, Italian, or Basque speakers. Set up the website in at least three languages from the start. The Basque-speaking guests typically understand Spanish; explicit Basque is appreciated but not strictly necessary unless a meaningful portion of the family is Euskaldun.

San Sebastián-Specific Practical Information

Go beyond standard sections with: a curated list of Michelin-starred and pintxos-bar recommendations for guests' free time (Bar Atari, Bar Sport, Borda Berri, A Fuego Negro for pintxos; Arzak, Mugaritz, Elkano for fine dining); a brief introduction to txakoli wine and sidra culture; a pharmacy locator near the main accommodation; tipping conventions in Spain (10% in restaurants, optional for taxis); the typical San Sebastián schedule (later mealtimes than Northern Europe but earlier than southern Spain). A short note about the Film Festival (if your wedding is in late September, mention it) helps guests plan around or into the city's energy.

Maintenance Through the Weekend

Keep the website live and updated throughout the weekend; guests reference it constantly on their phones, especially for restaurant addresses and shuttle pickup times. After the wedding, add a photo gallery in the 2-4 weeks following — for international guests, the gallery becomes a way to share San Sebastián's distinct atmosphere with friends and family who couldn't attend.
