About

Planners of small, unrepeatable moments

We have spent more than a decade producing celebrations in the Basque Country. A proposal asks for the same rigour in a tenth of the time.

The studio

A wedding house, and the question that comes first

20eventos was founded in San Sebastián in 2011 by Leire Ibáñez as a destination wedding planning studio for couples arriving from abroad. Over the following decade the team produced celebrations across Gipuzkoa, Biscay, La Rioja and the South of France, for families travelling from more than twenty countries.

Proposals grew out of a request we kept receiving: could we plan the moment before the wedding as carefully as the wedding itself. It turns out that a proposal is a harder brief. There is one attempt, one guest, and no rehearsal.

So we treat it like a production. A single planner owns your file from the first call to the last photograph, and everything — permits, styling, transport, photography, the restaurant afterwards — sits on one timeline that only we can see.

How we work

Four things we do not compromise on

01

Discretion

Suppliers arrive early and leave before you do. Nobody is briefed who does not need to be. Your surprise stays a surprise.

02

Local ground

We live here. Permissions, tides, festival calendars and the exact minute the sun leaves La Concha are not things we research — they are things we know.

03

One contact

You speak to the planner who is designing your proposal, in English or Spanish, from the first message to the day itself.

04

Plan B, always

The Atlantic coast is beautiful and unreliable. Every proposal we produce carries a fully planned indoor alternative that is never a downgrade.

The team

Small on purpose

We take a limited number of proposals each month so that each one gets a planner on site, not a checklist. Alongside the core team we work with a fixed circle of photographers, florists, musicians and drivers we have used for years.
