Planner’s Note
El Paratge has a lovely, unhurried intimacy to it – getting married in a genuine parish church tucked into the forest, then celebrating right there afterward, feels wonderfully seamless for a smaller wedding.

About This Venue
An 11th-Century Rectory House with a Working Parish Church
In Vilanova del Valles, 25 minutes from Barcelona, Belka Destination Weddings partners with El Paratge, an 11th-century rectory house that was once part of the Santa Quiteria Sanctuary. Couples can marry directly in the on-site parish church – the Parroquia de Sant Esteve – or choose a civil ceremony in the gardens, before an intimate banquet for 50 to 130 guests in the venue’s rustic dining hall. With an 8-time Bodas.net Wedding Awards record and a 4.9-star rating across 161 reviews, El Paratge is one of the most consistently loved smaller-scale venues in Belka’s Barcelona Region portfolio.
What Makes It Different
Three Reasons
Couples Choose This Estate
01
A Real Working Parish, Not a Decorative Chapel
El Paratge is attached to the genuine Santuario de Santa Quiteria at the Parroquia de Sant Esteve – couples can hold their religious ceremony right where they’ll celebrate afterward, without arranging a separate church.
02
Eight Wedding Awards, a 4.9-Star Reputation
El Paratge has won Bodas.net’s Wedding Awards eight times, with a 4.9-star rating across 161 reviews – couples consistently name coordinator Silvia and chef Jordi by name for their warmth and attention to detail.
03
An Intimate Scale, Full of Character
With capacity for 50 to 130 guests, El Paratge suits couples who want a smaller, more personal celebration in a historic setting surrounded by forest parkland.

Best For
◈ Intimate weddings of 50-130 guests wanting a genuine religious ceremony on-site
◈ Couples who want an exceptionally well-reviewed, personally coordinated experience
◈ Multicultural couples – reviews specifically mention the team successfully blending Brazilian, Spanish, and Italian family traditions in one wedding
Not Ideal For
◈ Larger weddings over 130 guests – this is one of the more intimate-scale venues in Belka’s portfolio
◈ Couples wanting to bring their own DJ or band — El Paratge keeps music in-house as part of its structured, single-event-a-day format
◈ Couples wanting a confirmed legal ceremony without checking first — El Paratge’s eligibility for a legally binding ceremony for international couples hasn’t been independently verified yet
Also Suits Milestone Celebrations
El Paratge’s intimate scale and genuine working parish make it a lovely setting for milestone celebrations as well as weddings – a landmark birthday, an anniversary party, or a family reunion. In Vilanova del Valles, Barcelona Region, this 11th-century rectory house hosts 50 to 130 guests, with reviews specifically praising the team’s success blending Brazilian, Spanish, and Italian family traditions into one seamless celebration.
