Choosing the right caterer is one of the biggest decisions you will make when planning a destination wedding in Mallorca. The food, drinks and service touch almost every part of the day, from the first welcome drink to the final late-night snack.
For Rosie and Luke, choosing Delicioso without being able to travel to Mallorca for a tasting felt like a leap of faith. After an unforgettable celebration at Finca Ses Voltes, however, they described it as one of the best decisions they made.
Their wedding is a wonderful example of what thoughtfully planned Mallorca wedding catering can bring to a celebration: generous food, plenty of choice, professional service and the confidence to relax and enjoy the day.
Rosie and Luke celebrated their wedding on 12 June at Finca Ses Voltes, a beautiful countryside venue near Sant Llorenç. With its traditional Mallorcan surroundings, poolside reception area and lawns overlooking the landscape, the finca provided a relaxed setting for their 54 guests.
Like many couples arranging a destination wedding in Mallorca, Rosie and Luke had to make important decisions from outside the island. They considered several wedding caterers but were unable to fly over for a menu tasting before choosing Delicioso.
As Luke explained in his five-star review:
“It felt like a bit of a leap of faith, but it was one of the best decisions we made.”
When you cannot attend a tasting, clear communication and detailed planning become even more important. Couples need to know that their chosen caterer understands the venue, timings, menu, drinks, dietary requirements and flow of the celebration.
Delicioso’s experienced wedding team worked through each detail with Rosie and Luke in advance, allowing the couple to arrive at their wedding knowing that the catering and service had been carefully planned.
The celebration began with welcome drinks before the ceremony at the finca’s fountain. After the confetti and group photographs, guests moved to the poolside area for an aperitif reception.
Rosie and Luke selected six different canapés, combining Mediterranean favourites with more adventurous international flavours:
Cava, beer, house wine, water and soft drinks accompanied the canapés, together with a refreshing Hugo cocktail.
The selection gave guests plenty to discover while they mingled beside the pool. Several dishes earned particular praise, including the kimchi toast and teriyaki chicken skewers.
Luke later wrote:
“The canapés were brilliant. The kimchi toast and chicken skewers had multiple comments.”
This is exactly what a canapé reception should do. It welcomes guests, creates conversation and sets expectations for the meal to come.
For dinner, guests gathered at two long tables on the lawn for Delicioso’s Mediterranean Sharing Menu.
Sharing menus are particularly well suited to finca weddings in Mallorca. They create a sociable and informal atmosphere, encouraging guests to pass dishes around the table and enjoy the meal together.
Rosie and Luke’s main menu included:
Dessert was a fresh lime-marinated strawberry and mascarpone glass with meringue.
For Luke and their guests, both the quality and generosity of the food stood out.
“The food was absolutely incredible. Both the quality and the quantity exceeded all our expectations, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it.”
Some guests were even inspired to try recreating the dishes when they returned home. The meat received especially enthusiastic praise, with Luke describing it as some of the best they had ever eaten.
Thoughtful wedding catering also means ensuring that guests with dietary requirements can eat confidently and enjoy the celebration.
Rosie and Luke’s guest list included people with gluten, onion and garlic intolerances, as well as vegetarian and pescatarian guests. Suitable choices were considered during the menu-planning process, with the relevant appetisers labelled to help guests identify the dishes available to them.
Dietary requirements should be discussed with your Mallorca wedding caterer early in the planning process. A clear final guest list, accurate allergy information and a carefully considered menu help the catering team prepare safely and provide an inclusive experience.
Excellent wedding catering is about far more than serving a delicious meal. The catering team also plays an important role in the timing, atmosphere and flow of the event.
For Rosie and Luke’s wedding, Delicioso provided an eight-hour package encompassing the food, drinks, bar service, waiting staff, tables, wooden chairs, linen and bistro tables.
The team set everything up and managed the service without needing the couple’s attention.
“They arrived, got everything set up, and ran the service seamlessly without needing any input from us, which took a huge amount of stress away on the day.”
That sense of calm is especially valuable at a destination wedding. Instead of answering logistical questions or checking whether each part of the day is running to schedule, the couple can remain present with their friends and family.
The bar team also made a lasting impression. Just before the bar closed, one team member noticed Luke and brought him a final drink. It was a small but thoughtful gesture that reflected the attentive service shown throughout the celebration.
Following dinner, guests moved into the party room for dancing and an open bar. The drinks service was tailored to the couple and their guests, with plenty of cava and gin included alongside the wider bar selection.
At 10pm, Delicioso served coca de trampó, a traditional Mallorcan vegetable-topped flatbread, as a late-night snack.
Adding a late-night dish is an excellent way to bring a local flavour into a destination wedding while giving guests a welcome boost after several hours on the dance floor.
A menu tasting can be a valuable and enjoyable part of the wedding-planning process, but travelling to Mallorca before the wedding is not possible for every couple.
Rosie and Luke’s experience demonstrates that it is possible to plan an exceptional wedding menu without attending a tasting. The key is to choose an experienced caterer that offers clear menu information, detailed planning and open communication.
