It`s september and we re entering THE WEDDING MONTH and lots of
work for Ibiza Catering .
One of our favorites this summer is the fantastic down to earth
countryside style wedding in the heart of Ibiza. Authentic Set up in a 500
years old finca with NO BLING BLING ! pure , simple and totally
impressive !
A long wedding dinner table underneath old trees , a romantic ceremony
in the garden right next to the pool. Classic Ibizan cuisine , local and
organic products perfectly cooked and arranged – a true mediterranean
feast for 90 emotional touched guests – thats the other , the natural side of
Ibiza.
The cocktail bar was attached to the 400 years old barn , a variety of fresh
baked fochaccia bread , warm fluffy and delicious – served right off the
oven.
The guests arrived and automatically felt homy and welcomed .
the couple reduced the amount of extern waitstaff to a minimum as the
atmosphere was authentic and more like a family style get together .
Food was passed around , taking care of each other was the motto of this
very special day : casual , relaxed and very charming .
after the ceremony was over – the groomsmen helped carrying the stools
back to the dinner table which was decorated with the flowers directly
from the Finca garden . Local spanish wines and fresh baked bread with
aioli plus the best olives welcomed the crowd .
a variety of crisp and delicious salads plus finest iberico ham in super thin
slices started the dinner .
everything was served in family style ( bowls, platters, plates ) – a true
family table .
the main course was spectacular : Whole Hog Roast from a spit with
20 ibizan herbs and spices – cracklings to die for and crisp rosemary
potatoes combined with a mediterranean Ratatouille made of local
vegetables . simple, fresh and enough to feed an army ….
instead of serving a wedding cake , we served wedding ice cream from
a real 1962 Ice Cream Vespa Moto !
that was the surprise of the night
everyone was craving for excellent homemade ice cream in 8 flavors
after a variation of local cheeses , grapes & fresh figs the party was ready
for a fantastic dance under moon and stars . Ibiza wedding
far away from chrome, chi chi and the usual things everyone expecting .
we can say that we loved it because of its simplicity and authenticity .
the crew is happy to add another happy couple to our looooong client list
a couple that s happily ever after …..
all the best folks ! sending sunny greeting from Ibiza .
