Your Christmas party, at your chosen location
A festive event does not have to mean booking a restaurant table. Plan food and service around your own setting: an office lunch, an after-work reception, a private villa gathering or a celebration at a hired venue. Start with the atmosphere you want, the space available and the time you would like guests to eat.
One Catering brings together options from a broad supplier network. The proposed catering, staffing and equipment depend on your brief, venue and date. Availability is subject to confirmation; an enquiry does not reserve a booking.
Company Christmas parties in Riviera del Sol
For office managers and business owners, a useful starting point is deciding whether colleagues need a short lunchtime celebration or a longer evening event. A standing reception encourages conversation; a buffet allows a flexible schedule; a seated dinner needs enough dining space and a coordinated service time.
- Office lunches: explain where food can be laid out, the lunch break available and whether you need serving staff or a delivery option.
- After-work gatherings: consider canapes, drinks service, guest arrival times and space for people to circulate.
- Seated company celebrations: share your table layout, speeches and entertainment timings so food service can be planned around them.
Ask for a written breakdown of food, staffing, equipment, transport, VAT and any additional hours. If colleagues are contributing individually, agree one organiser and a clear payment arrangement. For other business occasions, see our corporate event catering guide.
Private festive parties at villas and homes
For friends and family gathering at a villa, choose between a social reception, a shared buffet or a private chef dinner. Tell us how many adults and children are attending, where you plan to eat and whether you need waiting staff, crockery or help clearing up.
For a rental property, check the owner's permission for your event and any restrictions on visitors, outside suppliers, music and finishing times. Photographs or a simple description of the kitchen, fridge space and dining area can help establish what is practical; you can begin an enquiry without photographs.
Planning locally: Marbella and nearby areas
Include the exact venue or neighbourhood in your enquiry. An event in central Marbella, the Golden Mile, Nueva Andalucia or Puerto Banus can have different access and parking arrangements from a hillside villa in Benahavis. In San Pedro and Estepona, confirm the delivery entrance and the time suppliers can access the venue.
For gated communities, arrange entry instructions and loading access with the property manager. For terraces and gardens, identify an indoor alternative before confirming the layout. Ask the venue about kitchen use, power, toilets, noise restrictions and clearing-up deadlines.

Christmas party questions
Can I enquire before choosing a venue?
Yes. Share the intended area, guest count and event style. Confirm that any venue you shortlist permits outside catering before making a commitment.
Do I need a final guest count to begin?
An estimate is enough for an initial discussion. Before booking, agree when final numbers and dietary requirements must be supplied, and how changes affect the price.
What should I check before paying a deposit?
Confirm the event date, supplier details, agreed services, payment schedule, cancellation terms and what happens if numbers change. Check who is responsible for setup, service and cleanup, and ask how allergies will be handled.
