Carly
Your Day Ibiza Owner, Celebrant & Singer. Available for Timeless & Iconic Wedding or Vow Renewal Ceremonies, Effortless Ceremonies with the Music add on and Live Music.
Hello! My name's Carly and I have called this magical, unique little island 'home' since a friend bet us that the boat we were living and travelling through France on back in 2011 couldn't make it all the way to Ibiza. We won the bet - we being myself and husband Mike...also my childhood sweetheart - arriving into San An bay accompanied by a pair of dolphins in August that same year. We fell so in love with the island that we decided to stay.
Years later, we live on land, still enjoy the sea as much as we can, are as in love as ever and have two gorgeous daughters who bring us plenty of joy, laughter and challenges! We are so happy we took the risk of coming here.
I’ve sung, acted and written since I was a kid and was also a Secondary School Drama, Performing Arts and English teacher in my former life, so am no stranger to public speaking or getting creative! I had toyed with the idea of becoming a celebrant for years, and renewing our own vows here on a catamaran in 2017 reawakened my passion for creating heartfelt and 'real' words in celebration.
I joined the Your Day Ibiza team in 2019 and am over the moon to have taken the reins in winter 2023. I am forever grateful to founder Danielle for taking me on, sharing her knowledge and then trusting me with the future of this beautiful business. I am also overjoyed that Ben chose to stay on and to have recruited two more incredible celebrants in Lisa and Graciela. ;)
I absolutely love talking to couples (and their friends and families) and hearing all about their love stories in order to create the perfect ceremony for them. Whether it’s traditional, romantic and heartfelt with meaningful readings and vows; upbeat and full of anecdotes, laughter, shots and singalongs, or a mixture of everything, my aim is always to create a ceremony that reflects you and your personalities.
No two people, relationships or weddings are the same, so why should the ceremonies be? And why should they be the boring bit that everyone wants to be over? The celebrating starts with the ceremony!
There's nothing quite like the twinkle in the eyes of two people destined to be together forever, and it is an honour, joy and privilege to provide the words which make those twinkles shine brighter than the sun, or fall as happy tears.
It’s YOUR day, so let’s do it YOUR way! xXx

Ben
Celebrant and co owner of Fairytale Ibiza. Available for Timeless Wedding or Vow Renewal Ceremonies.
Hi there! My name’s Ben and I’m proud to say that I am part of the wonderful team here at Your Day Ibiza.
First and foremost I am a big family man. My wife Claire and I were lucky enough to celebrate our marriage on this beautiful island of Ibiza in 2011, and together we now have 2 sons and a baby daughter. I love nothing more than spending quality time with them all and making them giggle.
Most people tell me that I’m the guy that’s always smiling, and people are always happy to share their romance stories with me. (My mum says it’s because I’m a great listener and very easy to chat to - I’ll take that, thanks Mum!)
Having been the guy standing up at the front of the aisle, waiting for my beautiful wife to arrive, and now to be the one performing the ceremony, I know that the ceremony part of a wedding day is definitely a serious occasion for all of us! But, some lovely smiles, fun & perhaps a proud tear to an eye are what I always like to aim for.
Let’s enjoy your big day and bring a bucket load of love & romance to remember forever!

Lisa
Celebrant Available for Effortless, Timeless and Iconic Wedding and Vow Renewal Ceremonies and naming ceremonies.
Hello, I’m Lisa and I am immensely proud to be part of the wonderful Your Day Ibiza team.
Calling Ibiza home – a long held dream of my husband’s and mine was finally realised in 2023 as our daughters flew the nest and our work situation enabled us to relocate from the UK to the enchanted White Island.
I bring to Your Day a wealth of experience as a marriage registrar and celebrant in the UK for over ten years and the privilege, honour and sheer joy of conducting almost a thousand couples’ magical ceremonies is never lost on me – everything from a few people you would probably recognise from the television to a spectacular 600 guest wedding at Blenheim Palace or simply a couple on a rainy day in Cambridge with two strangers for witnesses... and now I do the job I love - in the sunshine!
We have some of the most spectacular venues and vistas here in Ibiza which make the perfect backdrop to your ceremony. Add to that, the sheer magic of the island, our professionalism, experience and love of what we do and you have your second match made in heaven!
You have a unique love story and that should be reflected in your special day, whatever that means to you. Every aspect of your ceremony is adapted to your personal wishes and it would be my pleasure to guide you through from start to finish, ensuring your day is filled with unforgettable memories to last a lifetime.

Graciela
Oficiante de ceremonias de boda y renovacion de voto, Effortless, Timeless y Iconic
Hola!
Me llamo Graciela, nací en Ibiza donde he vivido casi toda mi vida. He podido ver cómo la isla asombra a todas aquellas personas que han deseado conocerla. Este es un lugar especial para conectar con el amor y la alegría de vivir.
Vivo cerca de la playa con mi compañero desde hace 14 años. Muchas veces nos imaginamos envejeciendo juntos y agradecemos a la vida el habernos encontrado. Tenemos un hijo pequeño que ha fortalecido aún más nuestro vínculo.
La promesa de una pareja a trabajar por permanencer unida a pesar de las dificultades, me parece revolucionaria y trascendente en una sociedad cada vez más acelerada.
Las personas que me conocen dicen de mí que les transmito tranquilidad, y sienten que pueden sentirse seguras conmigo. Me encanta cuidar de momentos para conectar con nuestros sentimientos, donde podamos sentirnos libres de mostrarnos vulnerables y auténticos.
Te propongo acompañarte en una ceremonia a tu medida, en la que puedas celebrar el amor con tu pareja y seres queridos, y anclar vuestra unión con un recuerdo inolvidable.
Graciela Miguel
