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].

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:
Every year the UK’s BBC Radio One descends on Ibiza in early August for a jam packed weekend of fun and this year is no exception – it’s seen as the weekend to be in Ibiza and we can’t wait to experience it’s 21st year on our beautiful island. Tonight starts with the annual free party hosted by Annie Mac at Ushuaia and follows with Essential mixes and a range of the radio shows being broadcast live from the island and featuring music from some of dance musics most iconic and popular DJs. Although we are crazy busy putting on our own Cardamom events all summer, we do love to show some appreciation for other events happening & try to go to them (especially free ones!) where possible – plus, it attracts a whole host of other brands and celebrities to join! 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.

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

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!
So the population statistics for Ibiza and Formentera are pretty extreme winter to summer. The island host around 100,000 at their lowest point in winter and 400,000 in summer – up to four times the amount of people! Our top hidden beach to escape the madness in the mid summer months is…
Cala Olivera
This unspoilt mini beach is hidden inside the gated community of Roca Llisa. Drive down the rocky road (which has been flattened for better access in 2016) and find a tranquil heaven on beach, rocks and crystal clear pools of water to explore. There is also a wonderful beach shack which serves fresh fish and snacks all day long in summer.

Canapés. Usually used as part of an event opening, good canapés play a large factor in an event kicking off well. From supporting the events theme or concept, to being an aspect of focus for guests who need a conversation starter, to keeping hungry stomachs at bay ahead of the main food service, canapés really are an important factor to consider. In Ibiza, many opt for Spanish themed canapés, which really set the scene for an event. Here is our perfect recommendation of event canapés for this summer, from our event menu:
CARDAMOM RECOMMENDED CANAPES SUMMER 2016
Traditional andalusian gazpacho
Grilled mediterranean chicken brochettes, marinated in paprika & garlic
Grilled king prawns with lemon & chilli (below image)
Spanish tortilla & piquillo pepper brochette
Brochette of sun dried tomato, baby mozzarella, basil & olives

Although one of the most incredible periods of your life, the run up to your wedding in Ibiza can also be a time of pressure for you, as adrenaline runs high when you and all of your friends and family arrive to a foreign destination to celebrate your big day, where all eyes will be on you! Staying as relaxed as possible will ensure you have the time to process everything and savour, remember every part, as well as feel well and energetic throughout. Here are a few tips that we advise our clients, to help you stay calm before your big day.

1. Schedule some quality time with each other
It is easy in the run up to your wedding to fill up every moment with overthinking, adjusting or completing the final details, making lots of plans to see your various friends and family who have travelled far and wide to see you and of course wanting to enjoy Ibiza’s beaches, restaurants and lifestyle. If you schedule some empty spots in to just spend time with your finance, you will be able to ensure you have some down time and don’t exhaust yourself before the big day, plus after all this is your wedding week so some romantic time is a must!

2. Pamper yourselves
There are some really important factors which will help ensure you look and feel great for your wedding day – these seem obvious but are easily forgotten before your wedding. Sleep and rest will ensure you look and feel energetic on your wedding day. If you have time for a spa day, or just a facial and massage, there are some fabulous options available in Ibiza to suit a range of style and budgets. Why not combine 1 & 2 tips and schedule a spa day with your fiancee – massages and facials will relax you and ensure you’re both looking your best for the wedding photos! Win win.

3. Ensure you are surrounded by calm on your wedding morning
The morning of your wedding is an important time. In terms of suppliers such as photographers, hair and make up artists and event set up teams, the people Cardamom put in place to be around you are highly experienced in ensuring our brides, grooms and the surrounding wedding party feel fantastic in the final run up to the wedding celebration!
