A Place Brides Fall in Love with Instantly
Bell Recó has a unique ability to take your breath away, even in the most unexpected moments. Lea and Azmi said it best: “Everything about Bell Recó felt magical — every corner looked straight out of a dream.” They later added:
The venue felt special because it truly transports you to another world — a breathtaking house surrounded by endless gardens and tall trees that make you feel like you’re in your own castle. It’s peaceful, timeless, and full of character. That day, I truly felt like a real-life princess.
And to be honest, we often see this reaction — that pause when someone arrives at the property and immediately understands why so many couples choose this place to celebrate their love story.
This estate has a special way of blending elegance and intimacy. It enables each couple to design their special day to reflect their personal style, whether they prefer an intimate, romantic gathering or a grand, sophisticated celebration.
Alicia & Kush summed it up beautifully: “The atmosphere made everything feel effortless and natural, and its warmth and elegance aligned perfectly with the experience we wanted to share with our families and friends — a place that felt meaningful, serene, and unmistakably 'us.”
That’s exactly what Bell Recó offers: a space where your wedding feels like your own unique story.
Why Bell Recó is Considered One of the Most Extraordinary Wedding Venues in Spain
There’s a reason this estate is consistently chosen by couples from Spain and abroad. The balance of art, nature, and architecture is unique. The manor house, once owned by the Catalan bourgeoisie, still holds its majestic presence, while the surrounding gardens feel almost cinematic.
Laura and Román, who visited several venues before choosing Bell Recó, told us:
We requested information from several places near where we and our families and friends live, and finally arranged a visit to the ones that suited us best. Bell Recó was the last place we visited, and as we arrived by car at the venue where the ceremonies are held, my husband and I looked at each other amazed by the beauty of the place and the majesty of the manor house owned by the Catalan bourgeoisie.
When a venue evokes that reaction before couples have even got out of the car, you know you’re somewhere special.

As well as the exclusivity and privacy that this venue offers for your wedding celebration. The ceremony was one of the most beautiful moments. Seeing all our friends and family together and excited was a very special moment for us.”
This venue has the rare ability to elevate every moment. “One of the most memorable moments was our entrance to the banquet, which we made in a classic red Ferrari to the beat of the DJ's music, which got all our guests up from their chairs!” they added.
Bell Recó is located in the peaceful, green and incredibly accessible Maresme region of Argentona. The drive from Barcelona is short and nice, which is good for guests, and the estate itself feels far away from the noise of the city. Privacy is yours without compromising on convenience.
