A wedding menu is never just a sequence of dishes. It is a story told through flavour, rhythm, and atmosphere, unfolding gently across the day and into the night. From the first glass poured to the final late-night bite, every element is designed to feel intentional, generous, and beautifully timed. We believe food should enhance emotion, not interrupt it, creating moments of connection while allowing the celebration itself to breathe.
Terralda Catering + Wedding Caterers
Our approach is rooted in balance. Light, elegant beginnings give way to confident, comforting mains, followed by desserts that feel indulgent without excess. Along the way, guests are invited to explore flavours that feel familiar yet elevated, presented with care and served with calm assurance. The experience is social and relaxed, but always polished, shaped as much by service and flow as by the food itself.
Each wedding we create is approached individually. We take time to understand your vision, your venue, and the atmosphere you want to create, whether that is an elegant formal reception, a relaxed outdoor celebration, or a multi-day wedding experience. Menus are designed with balance and creativity, using high-quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation, always supported by seamless service that allows you and your guests to enjoy the day without distraction.
What truly sets Terralda Catering apart is our people. Our team is carefully selected and professionally trained, with a strong focus on service, presentation, and warmth. From chefs to front-of-house staff, everyone involved understands that it is often the smallest details that leave the strongest impression. We work quietly in the background, ensuring timing, flow, and service are perfectly aligned, so your wedding feels effortless from start to finish.
Service is one of our greatest strengths. We place enormous value on professionalism, kindness, and consistency, and our team is trained to deliver all three with confidence. From the way dishes are presented to how guests are greeted, every detail is considered. Our goal is to create an atmosphere where everything feels natural, unhurried, and beautifully organised, allowing you to be fully present on your wedding day.
Professional Wedding Catering Services
Our wedding menus are designed to feel generous, refined, and memorable, offering guests an experience that unfolds beautifully from the first canapé to the final cocktail. Dining becomes a central part of the celebration, combining elegant presentation, bold flavours, and seamless service in a setting made for long, joyful evenings.
Appetisers and Canapés: The reception begins with an abundant selection of cold and hot canapés, carefully curated to balance classic favourites with contemporary touches. Guests enjoy a refined mix of seafood, meat, and vegetarian options, designed to be light, sociable, and visually striking. Highlights include tuna with truffle and avocado, smoked salmon with black sesame, caramelised foie on toast, Iberian pork carpaccio, steak tartare with kimchi mayonnaise, lobster with tomato bread, and crisp pastry bites filled with prawns, sobrasada, or quail egg. A gin and tonic station during the canapé reception adds a relaxed yet sophisticated note to the welcome.
First and Main Courses: The seated meal offers a choice of beautifully presented starters, ranging from chilled soups and carpaccios to rich seafood dishes and seasonal rice plates. Main courses are generous and elegant, featuring slow-braised meats, premium cuts of beef, and perfectly cooked fish, all paired with thoughtful garnishes and sauces. Each dish is designed to feel indulgent without being heavy, allowing guests to enjoy every course comfortably.
Desserts and Evening Bites: Dessert brings a classic yet playful finish, with options such as lemon tart, chocolate fondant, cheesecake with berries, or brioche torrija with caramel and vanilla ice cream. Later in the evening, a recena of mini burgers, empanadas, and toasted sandwiches ensures guests are well looked after as the celebration continues.
Drinks and Bar Service: Wines are carefully selected to complement the menu, with white and red options served during the meal and champagne available on request. The open bar includes well-known international brands, with the option to upgrade to premium or extra-premium selections. Cocktail, gin and tonic, beer, and mojito stations can be added to elevate the drinks experience and keep the atmosphere lively throughout the evening.

Commonly Asked Questions
Want to know more? For further information on Terralda Catering and there professional catering services, please read some of most commonly asked question, clients have asked
How far in advance should we book Terralda Catering?
Ideally, we recommend booking Terralda Catering 9 to 12 months in advance for weddings, particularly if your celebration falls during peak season or at a high-demand venue. This allows ample time for menu design, tastings, logistics planning, and coordination with your venue and planner. For private or corporate events, lead times can be shorter, often 3 to 6 months, depending on complexity and guest numbers. That said, we understand that not all events are planned far ahead, and we regularly support shorter-notice bookings where schedules allow. Early booking gives you the widest choice of menus, service options, and preferred dates, as well as peace of mind knowing catering is secured. Once booked, we guide you through a clear planning timeline so nothing feels rushed.
Weddings are best booked 9 to 12 months in advance
Private and corporate events often require 3 to 6 months’ notice
Early booking offers greater menu and service flexibility
Tastings and planning are easier with longer lead times
Short-notice enquiries are considered where possible
Do you offer tastings before we confirm the booking?
Yes, tastings are available before you confirm the booking, and we strongly recommend them as part of the planning process. A tasting gives you the chance to experience the food exactly as it will be served, including flavour, presentation, and portion size, and it also helps you confirm the overall direction of the menu. Tastings are usually arranged once we’ve agreed your initial concept, such as cuisine style, service format, and the structure of the day, so the dishes you sample feel relevant rather than generic. It’s also the ideal moment to review dietary requirements and ensure any alternative dishes feel just as considered as the main menu, not like an afterthought.
A tasting fee of €75 to €100 per person may be charged to cover ingredients, preparation time, and service. This fee is refundable if you book Terralda Catering for your wedding or event, and we confirm all details in advance so everything is clear from the outset.

What are your most popular menus?
Our most popular menus at Cortijo Pedro Jimenez are built around a generous canapé reception, a refined three-course meal, and a lively drinks service that keeps the celebration flowing well into the night. Couples love this format because it feels abundant and premium without being overly formal, and it gives guests plenty of variety, from elegant cold bites and warm appetisers to standout mains and comforting late-night recena. The most requested combinations usually feature a balance of seafood, Iberian flavours, and one “wow” main course, supported by the gin and tonic moment during appetisers and a strong open bar offering. Below are the most popular menu choices based on the options you’ve provided, structured in a clear, guest-friendly way.
Popular Canapé Selection (Cold and Hot, 14 total, 7 cold + 7 hot): Tuna cube with truffle dressing and avocado, smoked salmon skewers with black sesame and sweet mustard mayo, caramelised foie mi-cuit toast, crostini with confit cherry tomatoes and goat cheese, lobster with tomato bread and wakame seaweed, Iberian pork carpaccio with vitello tonnato, steak tartare with kimchi mayo, plus hot favourites such as Iberian ham or prawn croquettes, crispy king prawns with basil and aioli emulsion, beef tenderloin in kataifi nests with ginger dressing, puff pastry baskets with sobrasada and quail egg, cheese and truffle triangles, monkfish bites with chive mayo, and Iberian pork shoulder skewers with Cabrales cheese sauce.

Dessert: brioche torrija with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, or chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream, finished with coffee and herbal teas.

What styles of cuisine do you offer?
Terralda Catering offers an extensive range of cuisines, allowing couples to create a menu that genuinely reflects their tastes, background, and the style of their celebration. We are not limited to a single culinary identity. Instead, our chefs work across Mediterranean, Spanish, modern European, Asian, Middle Eastern, Indian, and international fusion cuisines, adapting flavour profiles and presentation to suit your wedding atmosphere. Many couples choose to blend cuisines, for example Mediterranean starters followed by a more traditional main, or a cultural banquet paired with contemporary desserts. Our experience with destination weddings means we understand how climate, venue, and timing influence menu choices, ensuring dishes feel balanced and enjoyable throughout the day. Every menu is approached with authenticity rather than imitation, and we prioritise quality ingredients, thoughtful seasoning, and refined presentation so each cuisine feels intentional and cohesive.

Can you create a fully bespoke menu rather than a set package?
Yes, bespoke menus are at the heart of how Terralda Catering works. While we offer sample menus and starting structures for guidance, these are never fixed packages. Every wedding menu is designed from scratch around your preferences, venue, season, guest profile, and service style. This flexibility allows us to tailor everything from ingredient choices and cooking techniques to portion sizes and presentation. Bespoke menus are especially popular for couples who want something personal, culturally meaningful, or different from a traditional wedding format. Our team guides you through the process, offering expert advice while ensuring your vision remains central. This approach also allows us to adapt menus to practical considerations such as outdoor venues or limited kitchen facilities, without compromising quality.
Menus designed specifically for your wedding
No fixed packages or compulsory menu formats
Full flexibility on courses, dishes, and service style
Cultural, dietary, and personal preferences prioritised

Do you offer three-course plated menus as well as sharing-style feasts and buffets?
Yes, we offer a wide range of service styles to suit different wedding formats. Three-course plated menus remain a popular choice for formal weddings, offering structure, elegance, and controlled timing for speeches and service. For more relaxed celebrations, sharing-style feasts encourage interaction and create a sociable atmosphere, particularly well suited to destination weddings. Buffet-style catering is ideal for larger guest numbers or informal receptions, allowing flexibility and variety. We help you choose the best format based on your venue layout, guest count, and desired flow of the day, and we can also combine styles, such as plated starters followed by sharing mains.

Can you provide BBQ catering or a hog roast for a wedding?
Absolutely. BBQ catering and hog roasts are very popular options for outdoor and relaxed weddings. Our BBQ menus go far beyond simple grilling, featuring premium meats, seafood, seasonal sides, sauces, and vegetarian options, all cooked on site. Hog roasts create a strong visual and social focal point, making them ideal for countryside venues and informal receptions. Both options are fully supported by professional chefs, specialist equipment, and service staff, ensuring quality and food safety. These formats are especially well suited to venues with limited kitchen facilities and can be adapted to suit guest numbers and timings.

What are your most popular canapés and how many do you recommend per guest?
Our most popular canapés combine familiar flavours with refined presentation and are designed to be easy to enjoy while standing and socialising. Mediterranean-inspired options are particularly popular for destination weddings, alongside seafood, premium meats, and creative vegetarian bites. In terms of quantity, we advise tailoring numbers to the length and purpose of the reception. For a short welcome drink before dinner, fewer canapés are needed, while longer cocktail-style receptions require a more generous offering. We guide couples carefully so guests feel well catered for without over-ordering.
Popular options include seafood, meat, vegetarian, and vegan bites
3 to 5 canapés per guest for short receptions
6 to 8 for longer cocktail hours
10 to 12 if replacing a starter
Guidance provided based on timing and menu
Can we include food stations such as cheese, Iberian ham carving, or antipasti?
Yes, food stations are a signature element of many Terralda Catering weddings. Stations add theatre, variety, and interaction to the reception and work beautifully alongside canapés or as part of a relaxed dining format. Popular options include artisan cheese displays, tuna tasting stations, Iberian ham carving, antipasti tables, and seafood or carving stations. These can be styled to match your wedding aesthetic and positioned to enhance guest flow. Stations can also be used strategically to stagger dining and reduce queues.

Can you cater at private villas, fincas, beaches, yachts, and venues with limited facilities?
Yes, we are highly experienced in catering at non-traditional venues and locations with limited facilities. Many of the weddings and events we cater take place at private villas, countryside fincas, beach locations, yachts, and outdoor spaces. During planning, we assess kitchen access, power supply, water, storage, and service areas, then design a menu and setup that works within those constraints. Where necessary, we supply portable catering equipment, mobile kitchens, and bar setups to ensure food safety and service quality are never compromised. This flexibility allows couples and hosts to choose venues based on atmosphere and location, without worrying about practical limitations.

Food safety and quality maintained at all locations
Do you have a minimum guest number for events?
Yes, Terralda Catering does have a minimum guest number, which helps ensure we can deliver the level of service, staffing, and food quality we are known for. Typically, our wedding and large event services are designed for celebrations of 50 guests or more, although this can vary depending on the menu format, location, and scope of the event. For smaller, more intimate gatherings, private chef or bespoke service options may be more suitable, and we are happy to advise on the best approach. Minimum numbers allow us to allocate the correct team, equipment, and preparation time, ensuring a polished experience for every guest.

We do not operate only in Marbella. Terralda Catering provides wedding and event catering across the entire Costa del Sol, offering the same level of quality, service, and attention to detail in every location we serve. While Marbella is a key base for many of our weddings, our team is fully equipped to support celebrations throughout the coastline and nearby inland areas, planning logistics carefully so service remains seamless regardless of venue. Each event is approached individually, with travel time, access, and setup requirements factored into the planning process from the outset. This allows couples to choose their venue based on atmosphere and location, without worrying about catering limitations. Our experience across the Costa del Sol means we are familiar with a wide variety of venues, from luxury hotels and private villas to fincas and beachside locations, ensuring smooth coordination and consistent standards wherever your wedding takes place.
We currently operate throughout the Costa del Sol, including Marbella, Puerto Banús, Nueva Andalucía, San Pedro de Alcántara, Estepona, Benahavís, Sotogrande, Casares, Manilva, Mijas, Mijas Costa, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Torremolinos, Málaga city, Rincón de la Victoria, and surrounding inland fincas and estates.
