A wedding planner from northern Germany has been hired to put the “finishing touches” on the celebration, according to German magazine Bunte.
It says the couple will say “I do” under an arch of flowers at the villa seven-times F1 world champion’s wife is understood to have bought in 2017 from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
A country music band is set to play live music in the evening at the open-air ceremony.
Male guests will be asked to attend the wedding ceremony in suits but told they don’t have to wear ties because of the high temperatures expected on the day.
Horse enthusiasts Gina and Iain went official with their relationship just over six years ago.
They stepped out at an awards ceremony in Munich in December 2017.
In September last year Michael’s daughter shared a new photo on her Instagram account with her boyfriend.
The reports about the wedding have not specified whether Michael, who turned 55 on January 3 days after the tenth anniversary of his tragic ski accident, will attend.
In September 2020 it was claimed Schumacher was spending time at the villa in Majorca.
Spanish press said he had been moved to the exclusive property on the upmarket estate of Las Brisas near Andratx in the south-west of the island from his Swiss home.
Ex-Formula 1 team boss and former QPR co-owner Flavio Briatore’s ex-wife Elisabetta Gregoraci claimed: “Michael doesn’t speak, he communicates with his eyes.
“Only three people can visit him and I know who they are.”
She added: “They moved to Spain and his wife has set up a hospital in that house.”
Corinna reportedly purchased the villa for £27million so she could spend holidays there with her children and friends.
The house was bought by building magnate Perez in 2005 but he put it up for sale in 2017 after the death of his wife Mari Angeles Sandoval.
The villa is part of a 15,000 square metre estate which boasts two swimming pools, a helipad, a gym and a huge palm-tree-fringed garden.
Schumacher, the only driver in history to win seven F1 World Championships, was placed in a medically-induced coma after a life-threatening skiing accident in December 2013 in the French Alps.
He was relocated to the family home on the shores of Lake Geneva in September 2014.
Updates on his health have been few and far between.
Gina and her brother Mick wished their dad happy birthday this week with touching messages as he turned 55.
Gina wrote on Instagram: “Happy Birthday Papa! throwback to one of many of our adventures.”
The post was accompanied by an image of her and her brother as children with the Formula One legend.
Mick, 24, wrote: “Happy birthday to the best Dad ever. Love you!”
The message showed a photo of them both wearing helmets, with a young Mick smiling and holding his thumb up as Michael looked lovingly towards him.
