The wedding of José and Jesús at La Arboleda del Sur in Ezcaray.
“Who would have told us this road would be so easy?”
Joseph and Jesus asked this question out loud, in front of everyone, in front of their people, in front of those who have been part of that journey.
But the truth is that easy was never the way.
It was easy to find each other.
It was easy to choose.
And what better place to celebrate a love that has grown without fear and with the naturalness of those who know they are where they have to be than in La Arboleda del Sur, in Ezcaray.
A place where green surrounds everything, where the mountain and the vineyard meet, where festivity and calm coexist without clashing.
Because if there’s one thing that defines this wedding, it’s that it had it all.
La Arboleda del Sur: the best possible scenario
There are beautiful places and then there are the ones that make it all make sense.
La Arboleda del Sur is one of those.
A space surrounded by nature, a few meters from the heart of Ezcaray, with gardens that seemed designed to celebrate something big.
The ceremony was under a sky that respected the moment, in an environment that seemed to be waiting for exactly this story.
There was no better decor than the one that already existed. The mountains in the background, the breeze moving the leaves, the feeling of being in a place where time goes at a different pace.
But if La Arboleda del Sur is what it is, it is also because of those who make it work.
And that’s where Rossi Landazuri comes in.
Our favorite wedding planner. The one we would do all the weddings in the world with.
Because your job is not just organizing, it’s not just coordinating.
It is to make the bride and groom only have to worry about one thing: living their day.
And Joseph and Jesus lived it.
A banquet with a Riojan soul and a catering service of another level
When the guests entered the banquet, they knew they weren’t in just any old place.
If there is one thing La Arboleda del Sur has, it is its cuisine.
And if anyone knows how to make a wedding a gastronomic experience to be remembered for years to come, it is Francis Paniego and the Echaurren team.
Each dish left the kitchen with the care of those who know that this moment is unique, of those who understand that a wedding is not just a toast, but the taste that remains afterwards.
And all surrounded by a floral design of Maria Teresa Flowers that made that nature was also in every table, in every corner, in every detail.
What’s left when everything shuts down
I could talk about the landscape, the toasts, how Ezcaray became for a few hours the epicenter of something unrepeatable.
I could speak of the vows, of the emotion in the looks, of the hugs that were so many that no one remembered the first one.
But what really remains is something else.
It is the feeling that, in the middle of those mountains, its history has already remained forever.
