Wedding reception and dinner in Gibraltar
The part your guests actually remember: the right room, the right menu, the right timing — negotiated and coordinated locally.
Venues and food
Rooms we know personally
Marina terraces, rooftop bars with the Rock behind, private dining rooms, hotel ballrooms and villa gardens across the border. We recommend by season, guest count and noise curfew — not by commission.
Menus and tastings
Mediterranean, British, Spanish or fusion menus, canapé receptions, sharing tables, tasting menus and late-night food. Dietary requirements collected guest by guest and passed to the kitchen in writing.
Drinks, staffing and styling
Reception drinks, wine pairing, open-bar packages, cocktail service, linens, place settings, menu cards, seating plan and candle staging — all one quote, one contact.
Reception planning in a small jurisdiction is a relationship business. We negotiate directly with venues we work with every month, which means realistic minimum spends, honest capacity numbers, and a written contract you can actually read — instead of a brochure price that grows on the day.
We build the run of the evening with you: arrival drinks and canapés while the photographs finish, seated dinner or sharing tables, speeches placed where people are still fresh, the cake cutting, first dance and last orders. Your coordinator holds that timeline on the night and deals with the venue so you never do.
Guest count changes are normal. We keep the plan flexible until the venue's confirmation deadline, manage RSVPs and dietary lists, and produce the final seating plan, place cards and menus for you.

Common questions
›How many guests can Gibraltar handle?
From an intimate table for four to receptions of well over a hundred. Above around eighty, we usually look at hotel ballrooms or cross-border villas.
›Can the reception be in Spain?
Yes. Many couples marry in Gibraltar and celebrate in Sotogrande, La Línea or Marbella. We handle the transport and the timing.
›Is there a noise curfew?
Venues differ, and we tell you the real curfew before you book rather than after the deposit.
›Can we do a tasting?
At most venues, yes, usually the day before or on a planning visit.
