Choosing a caterer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning an event—especially here on the stunning Costa del Sol. Whether you’re planning a wedding in Marbella, a stylish villa party, a high-profile corporate event, or an on-location shoot, your guests will remember the food and service long after the celebration ends.
At Fiestasol Catering, we believe in complete transparency, personal service, and consistently high standards. With over 15 years of experience catering all kinds of events across Marbella and the Costa del Sol, we welcome every question—because we know we’ve got the answers.
If you’re about to book a catering company for your big day or special event, here are the 10 key questions you should ask—and how Fiestasol delivers on every one.
- Are You Available on My Event Date?
Before anything else, you need confirm availability – especially if your event is during Marbella’s busy spring or summer season. At Fiestasol, our calendar fills up quickly, but we have a large, experienced team that allows us to accommodate multiple bookings across the Costa del Sol. If you’re unsure of your date, we’re happy to hold provisional bookings while you confirm the final details.
- What Kind of Events Can You Cater For?
Different occasions call for different styles of catering. Some companies are great for casual parties but struggle with formal weddings. Fiestasol is proud to offer a full range of catering experiences, including:
- Weddings – From intimate elopements to large-scale luxury celebrations – weddings are our speciality.
- Villa Catering – Ideal for Marbella and Costa del Sol vacations.
- Party Catering – Birthdays, anniversaries, hen parties, and more.
- Corporate Catering – Business lunches, product launches, and networking events.
- Shoot Catering – Professional on-location catering for film and TV productions.
- Speciality Catering – Extra-special BBQs, live paella cooking and hog roasts.
- Can You Provide Sample Menus or a Tasting Session?
Absolutely. Tasting is essential, particularly for wedding catering, and we’re more than happy to help. At our Marbella HQ, we’ll host a private menu tasting where you can sample dishes, discuss preferences, and work with our chefs to refine the perfect menu. This is a great chance to experience the quality and presentation that define Fiestasol’s service.
- What’s Included in Your Catering Package?
No one likes unexpected add-ons! Fiestasol includes everything you need for a smooth catering experience:
- Staffing – Friendly, experienced waiters, chefs, and event managers.
- Setup and Cleanup – We handle it all.
- Equipment – Tables, chairs, crockery, cutlery, glassware, and décor items.
- Coordination – Timelines, serving schedules, and collaboration with your venue or planner.
You’ll receive a detailed breakdown in your quote so you know exactly what’s included.
- Do You Cater for Dietary Restrictions and Preferences?
Yes – and not just as an afterthought! We take dietary needs seriously, offering fully inclusive menus for:
- Vegan and vegetarian guests
- Gluten- and dairy-free requirements
- Allergy-sensitive attendees
- Cultural and religious food preferences
We believe no guest should feel like a burden, and we’ll work with you to make sure every plate is perfect.
- How Do You Handle Logistics and Setup on the Day?
From elegant villas in the hills of Benahavís to beachfront venues in Estepona, our team has catered for nearly every corner of the Costa del Sol. We know the roads, the venues, and the local regulations. Our team arrives early, sets everything up efficiently, and stays until everything is spotless.
We work with local suppliers, decorators, and wedding planners, so collaboration is smooth and communication is seamless.
- Can You Provide Catering for Multi-Day Events or Weekend Celebrations?
Yes! At Fiestasol, we understand that some events don’t always start and end in a single day – especially destination weddings, video shoots, or milestone celebrations in Marbella and the Costa del Sol.
We regularly cater multi-day events, offering everything from welcome dinners and poolside BBQs to day-after brunches and relaxed paella parties. Our team can plan a cohesive catering experience that flows across several days while adapting each menu to the tone of the day – formal, fun, or family-style.
- Can You Help with Bar Service or Drinks?
Definitely. We can tailor our catering packages to include full bar service, from simple wine and beer offerings to signature cocktails, Prosecco walls, and professional mixologists. We also offer Spanish wine pairings, fresh sangria, and even non-alcoholic bars for wellness events or morning functions.
- Do You Offer Any Extras That Can Elevate My Event?
We love taking events to the next level! Some of our popular extras include:
- Live cooking stations – From paella to BBQs
- Prosecco & cava walls
- Dessert buffets and grazing tables
- Chill-out lounges with soft furnishings
- Late-night snacks like churros or mini burgers
These finishing touches add style and personality to your celebration and leave a lasting impression on your guests.
- Can I See Photos or Testimonials from Past Events?
Of course! We have a portfolio of past events, plus testimonials from happy couples, corporate clients, and party hosts across Marbella and the Costa del Sol. Just ask – and we’ll show you what we’ve done and how we’ve made events just like yours unforgettable!
