Testimonials
kind words from lovely people like you
We do things a bit differently at This Must Be The Place. We don't just hand you the keys and walk away, we live on the upper floors of the main house and are here to help throughout. It is something which stands us apart a little. This is your special day and we will always do all we can, alongside the other suppliers, to ensure it is spectacularly amazing for you and your guests.
The biggest reward is witnessing your happy smiling faces as the day (& night!) unfolds... but we also get all teary-eyed when we read the testimonials people have written about us.

"I just had to do a review about the most amazing wedding venue where my partner and I got married in June 2023 – the stunning 'This Must Be The Place' in Moià. Everything was just wow! The venue is truly beautiful, it's been renovated perfectly but has kept its authentic feel while having a nice touch of modern. The views were mind-blowing and we were lucky to have the most perfect sunset during our party. This will forever stay as one of our best memories 🙂
But the best part must be the owners, Jo, Duncan, and their daughter Indy. They were like wedding superheroes! Right from the get-go, they made us feel like family. The communication was on point, and they were always there to lend a hand or share their expert advice. They put us in contact with the best providers, we couldn't have asked for better! When the big day arrived, Jo and Duncan were there to help! I really felt them going above and beyond with their support. They were working behind the scenes, making sure everything was flawless. Plus, they were like our personal cheerleaders, keeping us cool and calm throughout the whole thing 🙂
The catering by Caravan Made (their exclusive provider) was out of this world! Our guests couldn't stop talking about the food and drinks.
But what really touched our hearts was Jo's open arms and support for our LGBT wedding. It meant the world to us that she embraced our love and made us feel special on our big day. Thanks for spreading the love and being an ally!
So, if you're on the hunt for a place to say "I do", this is definitely the place to be! We're forever grateful to Jo, Duncan, and Indy for giving us the wedding of our dreams."

"We couldn't have made a better decision for our wedding venue. The beauty of the venue with its countless facets and options speaks for itself! You really feel the love for detail in every corner.
What makes the venue even more special are the perfect hosts Jo & Duncan. In these uncertain times they were always there for us with support, advice and the necessary flexibility. During preparations and on the day itself they were very helpful and contributed to a perfect day.
We highly recommend This Must Be The Place / Mas Casamitjana to anyone and would love to host another event there! Thank you guys a lot!"

"When my partner and I were looking for a wedding venue, we wanted a certain something we couldn’t quite put our finger on. As we trekked across Barcelona, hopping from venue to venue, we were buzzing at the thought of our big day. Just when we thought things couldn’t get any more exciting, we arrived at This Must Be The Place. Approach from a winding road off the beaten track, everything suddenly came into view and our jaws dropped. The word wedding ‘venue’ simply doesn’t do it justice. The beautiful reclaimed barn with its timeless renovations provide a brilliant mix of old and new.
Walking around the property we were taken aback by the incredible views, the attention to detail (beautiful mirror balls spotted in multiple locations) and the big spaces giving multiple options on layouts. We opted for an outside ceremony and dinner, moving inside the converted barn for dancing afterwards. It made for the perfect transition as the day progressed. Having family stay on site worked perfectly too. Each bedroom has kept its original features whilst bringing a premium look and feel.
Now this is all well and good but there is one thing that truly made it so special... Jo and Duncan. They own, run and live at the property and have poured their hearts and souls into making it what it is today. Their passion, creativity and genuine love for our big day made all the difference. As a same-sex couple, we can sometimes be reserved in opening up, but Jo and Duncan made us completely at ease and even entertained our specialist guest (Drag Queen A’Whora) whilst the guests gathered for our big finale.
We knew straight away that we had to get married here. We left our first viewing saying to ourselves 'this must be it, this must be the one... This Must Be The Place!'"

"This truly IS the place! This Must Be The Place is the perfect mixture of rustic, quirky, cool and glamorous. An absolute gem hidden in the hills of Catalonia. We booked the venue sight unseen as we felt such a wonderful vibe from Duncan & Jo. We were not to be let down when we arrived the day before the wedding. Pictures cannot possibly do the venue justice. It is perfection. Duncan & Jo are incredible and the local vendors are a dream to work with. It really was the best day of our lives and we could not feel more fortunate about where we decided to hold such a special and memorable occasion. Everything was seamless from start to finish and the recommended suppliers blew us away! Our guests wanted for nothing and the standard of accommodation and design is top class. We wouldn’t change anything for the world! The venue, the owners and the views make this place something extremely special. We cannot thank Duncan & Jo enough!

"THIS IS DEFINITELY THE PLACE! Our wedding ended up being so so beautiful and perfect that my husband Colin and I kept looking at each other with eyes wide open to make sure it wasn't a dream. We couldn’t have chosen a better place on earth to make this day so magical and unbelievable. Jo and Duncan go above and beyond to make sure you and your guests are all taken care of and having a good time, we felt very comfortable knowing that they are so experienced and you can tell they love what they do. They not only recommended amazing suppliers to help us make this day possible, but they also listen to our style and our taste to match it perfectly with what we wanted. We would choose them million times and perhaps one day for our 10th anniversary we would love to be back with friends and family to celebrate again at “This Must Be The Place”.
TMBTP became a very special place for us and we recommend them a 1000%"

"They say it's the best day of your life. A day you'll remember forever... and This Must Be The Place provided us with the perfect setting to make these memories. The scenery and location is breath-taking and certainly has a wow factor from the moment it reveals itself as you drive over the hill towards it.
'This Must Be The Place' really does sum up this hidden gem... we knew from the moment we stepped foot inside and looked around the property that this was the setting we had both been looking for. With the many options of areas, and freedom to plan your day exactly the way you want to do it (nothing is impossible here!) we were able to be in charge to have a day that reflected us.
This Must Be The Place is a truly unique venue and one which will forever be a very special place for us. If we could do it all again we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Jo & Duncan for giving us the best day of our lives!"

"My wife and I looked at a number of venues around Barcelona and after seeing this one nothing came close. At the time it was still raw and hadn’t hosted a wedding yet, but you only had to see the venue and the view to realise how wonderful it would be. It could not have lived up to expectations anymore! There is a moment when you finally first glimpse the venue and the view after working your way up the windy road to get there and it is a real wow moment for you and all the guests.
Jo and Duncan were wonderful hosts and very helpful in assisting us when we had any questions... and The day itself ran like clockwork and all our guests still keep telling us what a wonderful time they had. We could not have asked for anymore to help make our wedding day so special."
Carolina & Julian
"Our wedding day was everything we ever dreamt of, and more. From the moment we found This Must Be The Place, we knew it would be the one. Such a gorgeous place, from the location, the views, the great taste in which it's been renovated and decorated.
Jo and Duncan are the best event planners, they always have solutions for every problem and are a great support! We would repeat this day over a million times, and choose this venue again without a doubt.
We hope we can go back again as guests soon...!"

"We are an American couple that chose to have a destination wedding in Spain. We found this venue and fell in love with it just based on pictures. We decided to contact the owners (Jo & Duncan) and they were kind enough to give us a video tour of the venue before making our final decision. Obviously not traveling or touring your potential wedding venue beforehand can be a huge risk, but they made us feel so at ease every step of the way!
Our original date was set for 10/10/2020 but then Covid-19 hit and we were faced with the decision to postpone our wedding. Jo and Duncan were so generous and worked with us for almost two years while we waited for our second date of July 2021. Once we finally arrived, they truly made us and our guests feel at home. They offered us recommendations on activities to do around the area and made sure we had everything we needed. This venue is a truly magical space that we will never forget with an amazing family that owns it!"
Sylvia & Ben
"We had a perfect wedding at This Must Be The Place! It was everything we hoped for - you have to see the place in person to appreciate how beautiful it is. We live on the east coast of the US and wanted to do something different for our wedding, and found Catalonia to be a perfect destination - great food, beautiful scenery, lovely people, and very affordable by US standards. The venue has multiple great locations to hold the ceremony and a beautiful indoor space for the bar and dancing. Overall we had a wonderful experience with this venue and the lovely owners, and would recommend it to anyone! It was an unforgettable weekend!"
