What are destination weddings?

Allow us to explain what destination weddings are. They are weddings in which the bride and groom decide to get married in a place other than their usual place of residence. In other words, instead of celebrating the wedding in their city or country, they choose a special and attractive destination for them and their guests.

These types of weddings have become very popular in recent years, as they offer the opportunity to combine the special day with a travel and holiday experience for the bride, groom and guests.

Alabardero Catering & Experiences, as experts in organising this type of wedding, gives you 3 essential tips that you should take into account before you start organising your international wedding.

• Choose the destination: find the perfect place where you dream of getting married. Malaga, for example, is a highly desirable city thanks to its climate, gastronomy, landscapes and infrastructure.
• Choose the date, taking into account aspects of the destination such as public holidays, weather, etc.
• Find the venue of your dreams, whether it is an outdoor or indoor wedding, check out the venues that meet your needs and expectations.

How to organise your wedding

Not only is it important to know what destination weddings are and their characteristics, but organisation is also key in this type of event. Destination weddings may require more detailed planning due to the cultural differences, legal requirements and logistics that can arise when organising an event in a foreign country. For this reason, it is common for couples to hire a destination wedding specialist such as us at Alabardero Catering & Experiences, with extensive experience in organising events and weddings in Malaga and on the Costa del Sol.

We take care of everything, advising you from start to finish, such as finding suppliers for décor and lighting, preparing your preferred cuisine for the event, activities and other aspects of the celebration.

Your wedding menu. A fundamental topic

We know that the catering at a wedding is the most important element to take into account. With the intention of personally attending to each customer and their preferences, at Alabardero Catering & Experiences we have different alternatives for your wedding menu.

We offer a wide variety of gastronomic proposals with a spectacular staging: from live cooking corners, to stands and buffets with the latest culinary trends, as well as original options such as cocktail bars, vegan options and organic gastronomy, etc.

We are Catering Certified for Halal and Kosher cuisine, which also allows us to offer a specific menu for this type of wedding with the highest guarantee.
