The menu is only half the catering plan.
Great wedding food depends on timing, equipment, staff, power, prep space, distance to tables and how the meal fits the party.
We plan catering in the context of the venue and whole event: kitchen capability, rentals, bar, dietary notes, service route, speeches, band setup, evening food and what needs to disappear before the dance floor opens.
As part of One Group, One Weddings can connect the planning and catering conversation rather than treating food as a separate island.
There is no compulsory “wedding menu”.
Sunset canapés
Cold drinks and small plates while the light changes, giving guests space to mingle before dinner.
Sharing feast
Large-format starters, salads, grilled dishes and sides for a social, relaxed dinner.
Plated dinner
Useful when pacing, speeches and polished service are central; it needs the kitchen and staff to deliver the room well.
Paella or live cooking
A visual, social food moment when the site safely supports the cooking setup.
Late-night food
Small, salty, easy-to-eat food after hours of dancing tends to be disproportionately appreciated.
Recovery brunch
Coffee, fruit, eggs, pastries, juices, barbecue or paella — enough to make the next day easy.

Planning and catering can speak the same language.
Table shape affects service. Kitchen position affects guest flow. Speech timing affects hot food. The band soundcheck affects dinner. Bar location affects the dance floor.
We keep those dependencies visible and can coordinate suitable One Group catering resources as part of the wider supplier plan.
Discuss wedding cateringFood, bar and infrastructure.
Can you provide wedding catering in Tarifa?
Catering can be arranged as part of the wedding plan, including menus, staffing, bar, rentals, dietary needs, service style and infrastructure. One Group catering resources can be coordinated where suitable and available.
Can we have paella?
Yes, where the site and catering setup support it. It can work as a wedding meal, recovery-day lunch or another weekend event.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Dietary needs should be collected and confirmed before final numbers. Menus can be designed for vegetarian, vegan, allergy-aware and other requirements subject to the caterer’s kitchen controls.
What food works for an outdoor wedding?
Canapés, sharing menus, plated courses, live stations and relaxed Mediterranean feasts can all work. The format should be chosen alongside site logistics.
Can you arrange a wedding bar?
Yes. We can plan welcome drinks, wine service, cocktails, spirits, ice, glassware, staffing, water points and late-night service.
Do villa weddings need a temporary kitchen?
Sometimes. We assess the property kitchen, caterer requirements, guest count and menu before deciding.
