From California to Cantabria: Steph & Fernando's Wedding at Finca San Juan de Castañeda

Steph and Fernando traveled all the way from California to celebrate their wedding in one of the most charming corners of northern Spain: Cantabria. They chose the stunning Finca San Juan de Castañeda as the setting for their civil ceremony—a day full of emotion, natural beauty, and thoughtful design that perfectly reflected their love story.

Finca San Juan de Castañeda is a hidden gem among wedding venues in Cantabria. Surrounded by nature and filled with character, it offers a magical, intimate setting for destination weddings in Spain. Steph and Fernando knew it was the one from the moment they saw it. It became the backdrop for a celebration where love, connection, and natural elegance took center stage.

A floral-filled civil ceremony full of meaning

The couple’s civil ceremony was one of the most emotional moments of the day. Guests were seated in a semicircle, creating a warm and personal space that framed the couple at the center, surrounded by lush flowers. The entire ceremony design was curated by the talented planners at Bodas Rock and Love, wedding planners in Cantabria who captured Steph and Fernando’s vision beautifully.

Effortless elegance with a Californian soul

Steph wore a stunning gown by Katherine Tash, which flowed with simplicity and grace. Her Jimmy Choo shoes added a touch of glamour, while Fernando looked sharp and timeless in his Ramiro Díaz suit. Their style was the perfect mix of California cool and European elegance, blending naturally with the green surroundings of the finca.
