The wedding menu will be one of the most important factors to consider, because as they say, love also enters through the stomach! And we can’t conceive of an event without food.
That’s why couples are increasingly making an effort in wedding menus, bringing originality, new flavors and aromas, breaking away from the norm and delving into the most sophisticated and exquisite cuisine to provide a palate experience for all guests.
And what cuisine is impossible to resist? Indeed, Spanish cuisine, a cuisine that is booming, as Spain has typical dishes in each of its autonomous communities and is prepared with the highest possible quality. The best in the world and typically Mediterranean for your wedding!
If you also want your big day’s tables to be full of flavor, here are different ideas for you to carry out at your wedding, everyone will want to repeat!
Cocktails for the reception
Spanish cocktails and spirits are booming in this country. What could be better than welcoming your guests after the ceremony with a bunch of purely Spanish delicious cocktails?
Of course, all made with certified origin products, such as cider, red wine with lemonade, sangria, kalimotxo, cava, beer, beer with lemon, water from Valencia, rebujito, queimada… so that your guests can toast and be surprised with every sip!
Outstanding appetizers
Until the main courses arrive, it’s time to whet your appetite with small mixes of flavors like cheese boards, slices of ham, cold cuts, and pickles.
Have you thought about having a live ham cutter during your appetizers? A truly original and exclusive success!
In a Spanish appetizer, you can’t miss potato omelet skewers, Galician octopus tapas, salmorejo or Andalusian gazpacho shots, Burgos blood sausage, bravas potatoes and ham croquettes, mushroom croquettes, chorizo croquettes, cod croquettes, squid croquettes… or even sobrasada croquettes from the Balearic Islands!
You won’t know where to start with so many delicacies! These are ideal options if you also have in mind to celebrate a brunch after the wedding day.
Make way for the first and second courses!
Here the possibilities are endless, because if there’s one thing Spain has, it’s variety, so you can serve everything from recipes like salads, paella rice, fideuá or Valencia’s black rice, to anchovy with crab cream in Txepetxa, typical of the Basque Country, some fried fish from Andalusia, Extremadura-style breadcrumbs with egg and truffle in Atrio, fried artichokes from Arzábal in Madrid, red prawns from Denia, or a spicy broth with pork noodles in Gresca, Catalonia.
As for main courses, the variety is also endless, with fish or meat dishes such as: roasted entrecote with chestnuts, shredded meat, oxtail with foie gras, suckling lamb, grilled Iberian pork shoulder, Rioja-style cod, hake in green sauce, cod meatballs, cabracho cake…

How could we forget about drinks?
It’s impossible to forget about the most famous and typical drinks in the country, especially when Spain has the best lands, vineyards, and wineries in the world! So many weddings take place in wineries.
Having areas such as La Rioja or Castilla-La Mancha, at your wedding you can taste reds, rosés, whites, fruity, sparkling and dry wines. And as for beers… Alhambra, San Miguel, Mahou…
All drinks should always be properly paired with the seafood or meats being served!
Food, better from suppliers kilometer 0
It’s best to have local, kilometer 0 food, which is all produced and consumed within 100 kilometers, resulting in higher quality, more nutrients in the food, and therefore healthier and more delicious.
It’s a way to favor the environment through gastronomy and have an eco-friendly wedding.
So, if you’re considering it… don’t hesitate any longer! The answer is yes, you should have a wedding menu with a Spanish flavor to be served in one of the exclusive venues available at Perfect Venue.
