** If you do not already have a wedding planner, and are trying to organise everything yourself, beware! If you have not discovered for yourself already, planning a wedding in Calahonda or anywhere else in southern Spain from afar is a very difficult and stressful thing to do. We cannot recommend strongly enough that whether it is us, or another wedding planner in Calahonda, you do use someone and do not try to do it all yourself. In every wedding that we have been involved in, we have easily saved our clients much more money (by utilising our contacts, and know-how, etc.) than they have paid on wedding planner fees.
Wedding Catering FAQs for Calahonda and the Costa del Sol
How far in advance should we book wedding catering in Calahonda?
For peak season on the Costa del Sol (roughly May to October), many couples book 6 to 12 months ahead for weddings in Calahonda. If your date is sooner, still reach out. We can sometimes accommodate shorter lead times depending on venue access, guest count, and logistics.
Do you provide tastings and menu planning for destination weddings in Calahonda?
Yes. We start with your style and preferences (formal plated, buffet, canapés, stations, family-style), then refine a seasonal menu that works well for a wedding in Calahonda and across southern Spain. Tastings can be arranged depending on timing and event size, and we also share sample menus from real weddings we have catered.
Can you cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy requirements in Calahonda?
Absolutely. We plan dietary requirements in advance and can create alternative dishes or adapted versions of the main menu for your wedding in Calahonda. If you share your guest list requirements early, we can label, brief staff properly, and keep service smooth on the day.

What happens if our wedding in Calahonda is outdoors and the weather changes?
Outdoor weddings in southern Spain are stunning, but we always recommend a clear Plan B for wind and late-evening temperature changes. For weddings in Calahonda, we coordinate with your venue or planner on timings, shelter, and food holding requirements to keep service safe and stress-free.
Do you coordinate with our venue and wedding planner in Calahonda?

Yes. Late-night bites are very popular for destination weddings in Calahonda. Options range from mini burgers and tapas to hog roast, churros, or tailored comfort food, served at a time that matches your music and party schedule.
Do you cater for smaller weddings and private villas in Calahonda?
Yes. We cater everything from intimate villa weddings to larger celebrations in Calahonda. For villas, we plan logistics carefully (access, refrigeration, cooking space, staffing, and clean-up) so you get a professional result even without a commercial kitchen.
