Many couples have already chosen this place to celebrate your special day. The opinions coincide: a unique setting, personalized service and the peace of mind of having a team that makes it all the more easier,. An experience that stays forever.
A few months ago when my partner asked me marriage went head-to-visit this magnificent place… I didn’t have to visit any other venue to make up my mind already that the Cartuja I fell in love with. It has a very special charm dominated by the green and the stone enjoys multiple spaces and options for B, if they decide to drop a few drops on your special day, something that I think is important. Once we finalized the date for the event was michelangelo who was on our side to carry out the wedding. In the test menu, we did enjoy a great family day on which we already demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, elegance, good taste, amiability among many other of their qualities. Everything was perfect. In the meeting that we had days leading up to the wedding, we went over with Miguel Angel all kind of details, something that gave us a lot of security. Of course the day of the wedding was a success, an organization of 10! Always pleasant and smiling, with everything under control, the bride and groom and the family stayed most of all with his work. The waiters, staff, hotel reception, kitchen and the rest of the team, all excellent. Each day we received very positive feedback for our guests by making reference to the fact that it was the best wedding they had attended. Thank you Miguel Angel, thank you Cartujeros for making this day the best of our lives!!
A site of 10, recommended for any event, in our case the wedding of a family member, have large and beautiful gardens, several cloisters open and closed place where meals or dinner depending on the weather and the old church was converted into a nightclub. The food is exquisite with a large variety of starters and canapés. In order to a dream place
Held my wedding here and I cannot be more happy with the choice. The site is magical and all the time you worry because both the bride and groom as well as the guests are at ease. The whole team of the charterhouse, Esther, Miguel Angel, and especially Dove, which was responsible for organising our wedding, we had so many facilities and tailored to everything you ask for, and the circumstances of the day, as did some wind and had to manage it. All the food was very good, and were very much concerned with all the people with allergies and intolerances. Finally, the site of the festival is unique and does not exist in any valence other place comparable. I would certainly return to celebrate my wedding there, a thousand times, not only by the site, but due to the huge team that cares of everything to go round.
As a wedding photographer, I had the opportunity to work in The Cartuja de Ara Christi and I was impressed by the beauty of this place. The history and architecture of the charterhouse create a unique atmosphere and full of charm for weddings unforgettable. The beautiful church, the cloister and the gardens are the perfect setting for taking exceptional photos of couples on their big day. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work in The Cartuja de Ara Christi and I hope to do it again soon.
We got married here on September 20. We had previously attended to the friends wedding and from the first moment we were clear that if we married in Valencia, I had to be in the Charterhouse. The experience in retrospect now has been fantastic and we are very happy of our choice. The co-ordination has led to Alice and at all times has been a caring, accessible, and facilitator. We even had a mishap staff the weeks leading up to the wedding that we did have to delay and fundamental things at all times, understood us and helped to come out ahead without having to remove a detail. The day of the wedding was exactly as we had planned, with an excellent organization by Alicia and Miguel Angel, even above that of his powers. The food was delicious from beginning to end and our friends and family have been delighted with everything. The attention of the metre Elena during the hours of party was also exceptional and helped us in everything that we ask him to. Thanks again to the team.
