Cardamom Corporate

2016 has been a successful summer of progression for Cardamom so far. Whilst our weddings, private events and catering projects have remained fruitful and something we are incredibly passionate towards, we have also focused on delivering some key projects for our Corporate clients – which is becoming an increased area of focus for professional events happening in Ibiza. In line with this, Belgium born Dirk Aerts joined our team at the start of the summer. Combining his wealth of experience in luxury group travel, business incentive projects and corporate hospitality, Dirk also has an impressive list of incredible corporate event suppliers and specialists on the island – making him the perfect addition to our team.

So far, June and July delivered some interesting corporate projects including an employee incentive project for an international catering business which saw 160 employees travel to Ibiza for three days of incentives at the Palacio de Congresso (Ibiza’s conference hall). This included a cooking show, catering and all transport managed by Cardamom. Following this we partnered with our friends Amplified and Kit & Caboodle to work on an energy drink prize winners event with 30 guests across two weeks, where we delivered a full schedule of on site catering which saw our chef Juan Pi flip Burgers with Ibiza DJ legend Carl Cox! We also supported a luxury boat event for press surrounding this project with our catering as well.

October will see the next corporate project for us, which is an employee incentive project for international travel company. 120 guests will enjoy a fantastic agenda of beach games plus a high end gala ginner – all by team Cardamom.

Our Corporate services include:
Planning of a range of event contents and schedules
Venue sourcing
Entertainment
Accommodation
Transport
Decoration
Equipment hire
Staffing
Food and beverages (breakfasts, coffee breaks, lunches, dinners plus a full drinks menu – at any venue from 10-500 guests)

Something sweet

One of our gorgeous couples wanted something special and sweet this year. We did a vanilla bean lactose free cake topper covered in marshmallows and dripping chocolate (to cut), with a macaroon tower alongside it (raspberry, vanilla and almond flavours), which added some colour and fun to this beautiful wedding.

Butterfly beauty

This year we created a stunning wedding in a private villa near to Cala Vadella where the bride wanted something beautiful to happen at the end of her ceremony.

With our creative hats on we sourced some butterflies which are ethically kept, to be released on demand and float out into the world, as a symbol of the start of their journey into marriage. More information available from [email protected].

A wonderful wedding tale

In 2014 we created a three day wedding extravaganza for the gorgeous Sophie And Christian. Two years later, it still sticks in our mind as one of our favourite events to have organised. The talented photographer Jimena Roquero has also recently blogged about the event. Check out the full post here:

Last night saw Warner Music UK host a yacht party in the middle of the Ibiza Town port which brought guests in golf buggies through the town including Pete Tong, Nick Grimshaw, David Guetta, James Blunt, Monki & Robin Schultz.

A few from our forest wedding…

Here are a few snaps from a forest wedding ceremony we created earlier this year…

CARDAMOM RECOMMENDS: A new island gem has arrived…

Ibiza in mid summer can often feel chaotic – the island is full, the temperatures are scorching and everyone inhabiting the island for work or pleasure always has a packed agenda, meaning finding somewhere with a feeling a serenity can often be a real challenge. Alas, when a new venture opens which offers a tranquil environment, beautiful decor, a tasty (and different) menu, plus a fully managed children’s area…we get pretty excited.

Last night Cardamom visited the new Lamuella Ibiza (previously Aura and Sacca), which is easily accessible off the upgraded San Juan road (travelling towards the north of Ibiza) – and an absolute delight from start to finish. The venue is generously spaced out, has an outdoor/indoor feeling with it’s tented roof and had a relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. The concept is a “holistic lifestyle experience” combining healthy fusion Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine with art, entertainment and what they call a “unique experience for the soul”. As previous owners of an Asian food venue in Ibiza with a busy lifestyle and family on tow, this concept ran close to our hearts, and we simply can’t wait to go back.

Here is some of what we ate:

Starter: LIVE FAST GAI YOUNG
Rice paper, tofu, herbs, cucumber, glass noodles, crispy rice, avocado & spicy thai sauce

Main: SONOMONO SEABASS MISO
Avocado puree, grilled asparagus, black garlic and nori puree, yuzo, cucumber, wakame

Desert: WHITE CHOCOLATE CREME BRULEE
Kaffir lime, cocoa soil, dark chocolate, cherrys, pistacio

Birthday ideas

Having a birthday celebration in Ibiza is a truly fabulous experience. We help many clients each year create unforgettable birthday experiences including everything from the initial invitation to your guests, through to transport home at the end! Here are some of the different things you can do:

1. Lazy luxe beach day with lunch and drinks

We will oragnise the best area at your favourite beach club, pre book your lunch and drinks, organise any gifts, cake, entertainment and other special bits to ensure you have a true Ibiza afternoon of fun in the sun.

2. Take to the sea in style

Taking a trip to Formentera by private boat is the ultimate birthday luxury thing to do. We have access to the islands best boats for large groups and we will ensure you have lunch booked at one of the best beach clubs, watersports activities available and of course endless drinks to enjoy across the day. The ultimate end to this day is to watch the sunset infront of Es Vedra with your best friends – bliss!

3. A private dinner at your villa

If you are staying in a villa with your friends, an incredible experience is to have Cardamom come and deliver a silver service style plated menu for you and your friends to enjoy. We bring tables, chairs, crockery, glassware, staff, chefs, food, equipment – absolutely everything so you can celebrate at your own location. We can even bring sound equipment, lighting, decoration – the full experience! Ask for our plated menus for private dining experiences.

4. Exclusivity of one of the island most high profile venues

How about having a famous Ibiza venue all to yourself? We can close down a venue and take it over just for you managing the food, drinks, entertainment (we can even create a theme!) and all the special extras to give you an unforgettable evening from start to end.

Contact us today to ask for more information – everything we create is bespoke so we will tailor your birthday especially for you!
