Wedding & Christening Catering in Lisbon

Organising a wedding or christening in Lisbon demands a catering service that rises to the occasion. At Caterings.pt, we understand that the banquet is one of the most anticipated moments for the couple, family and guests. That is why we dedicate ourselves to creating gastronomic experiences that blend traditional Portuguese culinary heritage with contemporary haute cuisine techniques, ensuring a truly memorable catering service for weddings and christenings.

How Our Wedding & Christening Catering Works

The process begins with a planning meeting where we get to know your tastes and preferences. Our chefs then prepare a personalised menu proposal, which can range from traditional Portuguese dishes to international fusion cuisine. Before the big day, we organise a tasting session so you can try and approve every dish - adjusting seasoning, portions and presentation to perfection. On the day, our team handles the entire operation: venue setup, table decoration, plated or buffet service, drinks management, cake cutting and even the late-night supper. We work in close coordination with event organisers and wedding planners.

Types of Wedding & Christening Menus

We offer three main menu categories, each designed for different styles and budgets. The Traditional Menu includes starter, fish course, meat course, dessert and coffee - perfect for those who value authentic Portuguese gastronomy. The Gourmet Menu features five gastronomic moments with wine pairing and, optionally, a live show cooking station. For those wanting a complete experience, the All-Inclusive Package covers the welcome cocktail, full dinner, open bar, artisan cake, late-night supper and next-day brunch.

Best Wedding & Christening Venues in Lisbon

The Lisbon region offers extraordinary settings for weddings and christenings. In Sintra, historic palaces and estates create a romantic, majestic atmosphere. Cascais and Estoril provide elegant seaside celebrations. In Lisbon itself, from palaces in Belém to terraces overlooking the Tagus, the options are endless. For a more rustic setting, Mafra offers charming rural estates near the National Palace.

Wedding Catering Trends 2025

Current trends in wedding catering include interactive food stations where guests can customise their dishes - from poke bowl stations to artisanal gin tonic bars. Menus featuring local, proximity ingredients are on the rise, with couples preferring organic produce from regional farmers. Service formats have also evolved: many couples opt for an extended cocktail followed by supper, rather than the traditional seated dinner.

Sustainable Wedding & Christening Catering

At Caterings.pt, sustainability is a priority. We work with local producers from Setúbal, Ericeira and the surrounding countryside to ensure fresh, quality ingredients. We minimise food waste through rigorous quantity planning and offer sustainable packaging options for buffet leftovers. Our gourmet lunchboxes are the perfect solution for next-day brunches in recyclable individual packaging.

Dietary Requirements & Special Menus

All our wedding and christening menus can be adapted to dietary requirements: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal and other specific needs. We create alternative menus that maintain the same quality and presentation as the main menus, ensuring all guests equally enjoy the banquet. The same options are available in our coffee break and buffet services for pre-wedding events like hen and stag parties.

How Much Does Wedding Catering Cost?

Wedding catering costs vary depending on menu type, number of guests and level of service. Our prices start at €45 per person for the Traditional Menu and go up to €120 per person for the All-Inclusive Package. For corporate events or private parties, prices may differ. The best approach is to request a personalised quote - it's free and without obligation.

We serve weddings and christenings across the entire Lisbon region: Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra, Oeiras, Almada, Setúbal, Mafra and Ericeira. Each location has its own unique charm and our team has deep knowledge of the best venues and suppliers in each area, always ensuring impeccable logistics and fresh regional ingredients.
