María Oronoz is a founder and creative director of Martina Por El Norte, a wedding planning and design studio based in San Sebastián

María and her team design refined, intentional and emotionally driven weddings for couples who value meaning, aesthetics and atmosphere. Her work blends calm, structured planning with a strong creative point of view, influenced by fashion, interiors and editorial art direction. She is drawn to natural textures, layered styling, organic flowers with movement, thoughtful typography, and lighting that feels intimate and cinematic. 

They guide each couple through the entire process with clarity, creativity and care: from concept development and visual identity to production, logistics and the guest experience. They intentionally take on a limited number of weddings per year to ensure connection, artistry and a truly bespoke approach.

 

Martina Por El Norte

"For me, a wedding should never feel over-designed — it should feel personal, warm and beautifully lived"

They have designed and produced weddings that have become highly referenced and influential within the industry, shaping trends while maintaining a timeless sensibility. Their work has taken them to coastal enclaves, countryside estates, historic properties and destination settings across Spain and Europe, always with the same purpose: to create weddings that feel meaningful, unforgettable, and deeply reflective of the people they’re created for.

Girls!!! A million thank-yous for everything, for yesterday and for this entire year.
Everything turned out perfectly,  truly. We are SO, SO, SO happy.
Everything looked incredibly beautiful, breathtaking, really.
Thank you for your endless kindness, your patience, your professionalism, and your ability to handle every situation with calm and grace. Thank you for being by our side  every moment.
María; Your reputation you’ve earned entirely on your own. We are eternally grateful and so happy we chose you. We would do it all again a thousand times over.
Helena; the greatest whirlwind and the biggest discovery. Always happy, always excited, always ready for everything.
And to the three girls who were with us yesterday — they were adorable.
Thank you for making this the happiest day of our lives.
We love you!

When it came to wedding planning, the best decision we made was our first one — to work with the extraordinary team at Martina Por El Norte

We had to plan our Basque wedding while living in the United States ( not an easy task)  but María and Helena took such good care of us that they made the ocean and four time zones between us feel nonexistent. They communicated clearly, promptly and with genuine enthusiasm.
Their aesthetic sensibility (they have fabulous taste!) helped both refine and expand our vision for three days of events. They helped us dream big, and they helped us dream within budget.
They took real pleasure in seeing our ideas come to life, and when challenges appeared, they guided us through them with confidence and calm. María and Helena’s talent and wisdom are only exceeded by the size of their hearts, they are exceptional at what they do, and so much fun to work with.
Thank you both for your hard work, your warmth and your sense of humor throughout. If only everyone everywhere worked with such passion and grace.
Martina Por El Norte, you transformed what could have been a stressful experience into a beautiful adventure. You are simply the best.
Our only regret is that we cannot get married again just to do it all over once more…

The best decision we made for our wedding was choosing María and Martina Por El Norte

From the very beginning she understood exactly what we wanted. She was professional, guided us through everything step by step, and gave us peace throughout the entire process.
She organized the wedding of our dreams, even better than we imagined. Her sense of aesthetics is rare and exceptional.
We would choose her and her team a million times again, they planned our destination wedding seamlessly.
