Every wedding tells a unique story, a tapestry woven with love, joy, and unforgettable memories. At the heart of many of these stories stands Lara Cos, the creative powerhouse that has helped bring over 100 weddings to life since launching their company in 2017. Founded by Lara and Anna, this inspiring duo combines backgrounds in marketing, protocol, and event organization with a passion for design and structure. Together, they’ve created a legacy of weddings that truly reflect the essence of each couple. Join us as we delve into Lara Cos’s journey, their vision for wedding planning, and the magic they bring to every celebration.
For Lara and Anna, wedding planning was more than a career choice; it was a calling. “What I like most about wedding planning is the opportunity to create magical and unique moments,” they share. Each celebration is a chance to create something extraordinary, to craft an experience that resonates with the couple’s story.
This journey started in a rather unexpected way. “We began planning weddings while working as catering managers and also by helping friends and family,” they recall. The duo’s organization and creativity soon led them to formalize their work, driven by the fulfillment they felt in seeing couples happy. It was a wedding planned for a family friend—a coworker of one of their brothers—that solidified their path. Despite the challenges, they realized the immense joy that came from orchestrating such a meaningful day.
Lara Cos believes that every wedding should be an authentic reflection of the couple’s love and personality. “Our philosophy is to create personalized weddings that reflect the essence of each couple,” they explain. Whether it’s an elegant affair or a more bohemian celebration, their focus remains on weaving personal touches into every detail.
Intimate weddings hold a special place in their hearts. “We love planning intimate and personalized weddings, where every detail tells a story.” Yet, no style is out of reach for this adaptable team, who see every wedding as a fresh canvas, ready to be transformed.
When asked about the most memorable wedding they’ve planned, Lara Cos lights up with fond memories. “One of the most memorable weddings we planned was at a vineyard,” they reminisce. The couple opted for a Tuscan-themed celebration, and the vineyard’s natural beauty set the stage for a magical day. “Seeing the happiness on their faces as they said ‘I do’ was unforgettable.” It’s these moments—the quiet glances, the heartfelt vows, the genuine laughter—that stay with them.
Understanding that each wedding is unique, Lara Cos offers a wide range of customizable services. “We offer a variety of services, including full planning, vendor consulting, and design and decoration advice.” For Lara and Anna, the relationship with each couple is paramount. They work closely with them to develop a package that fits not only their budget but also their dreams. “Absolutely! We love collaborating with couples to design a package that perfectly fits their vision and budget.”
Their meticulous approach to wedding planning ensures that each celebration is thoughtfully organized. A key part of their process? Listening. “Listening to our clients is key,” they explain. This commitment to truly understanding each couple allows them to bring visions to life that resonate deeply with their client’s dreams.
Even with careful planning, surprises are inevitable, and Lara Cos embraces each challenge as an opportunity to grow. Reflecting on past experiences, they share, “One of the biggest challenges was an unexpected weather change on the day of an outdoor wedding.” However, with quick thinking and seamless communication, they adapted to the situation, ensuring the celebration remained beautiful.
Their ability to stay calm under pressure is a testament to their dedication and expertise. Challenges, they say, remind them why they’re in this field—to support couples and make their day unforgettable, come rain or shine.
As specialists in creating remarkable events, Lara Cos has had the pleasure of working in some of the most beautiful venues. “We frequently work at Castell de Sant Marçal, Bell Recó, La Gavina de s'Agaró, Mas Cabanyes, La Farinera de Sant Lluis, and El Molí de la Torre,” they note. These settings provide a stunning backdrop for their artistry, though they’re always open to exploring new venues that align with each couple’s unique vision.
Lara Cos’s experience and practical approach are valuable assets when it comes to budgeting. “We help couples set a clear budget from the start and prioritize what truly matters to them,” they advise. For them, it’s all about balancing vision with reality. Their advice to couples? “Be realistic about expectations and explore creative options.” With their guidance, couples can enjoy a stunning celebration without exceeding their means.
For couples amid wedding planning, Lara Cos offers a simple but essential reminder: “Enjoy the process!” They emphasize that while it’s easy to get caught up in the details, it’s important to stay grounded in the joy and meaning behind the celebration. “Remembering why you’re celebrating and focusing on the meaningful moments can make all the difference.” This positive perspective is one they bring into every project, ensuring that their clients enjoy not only the big day but the journey leading up to it.
When asked about their dream venue, Lara Cos shares a special vision. “Our dream venue is Mas Les Voltes, as it offers a perfect combination of natural beauty and elegance.” With its blend of lush surroundings and refined charm, Mas Les Voltes would be an ideal location to bring one of their most memorable weddings to life.
With each wedding, Lara Cos weaves together elements of beauty, creativity, and heartfelt emotion, crafting experiences that leave a lasting impression. Through their dedication and artistry, Lara and Anna ensure that every wedding becomes a timeless celebration. We’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to learn more about their journey and can’t wait to see the unforgettable moments they’ll create in the future.
