A Day In The Life…

So what really goes on when the island’s most elite event planners throw an event in their own home? Step inside and take a peek…

Wedding and corporate event planning comes naturally to Navine and Craig, directors of Cardamom Events. So one spring afternoon, they invited a group of personal friends to enjoy and alfresco lunch by the pool of their exquisite Ibiza villa and made it look both relaxed and luxurious in an effortless manner.

One of the Cardamom team’s in-house chefs Ally Beatty prepared a delectable menu of fresh seasonal plates. Highlights included his whole cauliflower shwarma with pomegranate, coriander and pine nuts, his heavenly slow-roasted vegetable antipasti and his bite-sized edamame sliders. The wine flowed and the sun shone. A perfect primavera day…

Something sweet

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.

The beauty of canapes

The beauty of canapes

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

Full swing in events season

 

 

Full swing in events season

We’ve just had a pretty busy few days! Congratulations to Elizabeth & Ben plus 90 guests, who we created a three day wedding for. Here’s what we delivered…

Staring with a rehearsal dinner at La Paloma on Thursday night, we took over the venue for a romantic rehearsal dinner. Guests arrives to a decorated venue to enjoy cava fruit cocktails and canapes, welcome speeches & then a three course dinner with optional seabass, filet steak or Aubergine for mains. This really was the perfect way for the guests to meet each other and start the celebrations.

The next morning began with a private yoga session for the bridal party and beach session for the groomsmen. A fresh and healthy lunch followed while everyone got ready and the photographer began to take photos. Guests started to arrive via VIP transport from 17:00hrs to a mythical forest space. Flip flops and sun parasols were given to guests to keep cool before the bride entered in a stunning Jenny Packham dress and the service was conducted by a family friend. Afterwards, the flower girls led the guests through the forest with tambourines and shakers to a private villa where a modern string quartet played and guests enjoyed cava before speeches at sunset. Next up was dining in a romantic pomegranate courtyard where a menu of beetroot carpaccio, slow roasted lamb and espresso martinis were served. The party then followed in a moroccan garden including a DJ, saxophonist, panoramic projections across the surrounding landscape and dancing under the stars. Nannies took care of the children while the adults relaxed and enjoyed themselves.

The final day of events then came, in the form of a mini festival! This started with bloody mary’s to cure the previous days drinking, alongside a luxury hog roast, crepe and ice cream stations and some relaxing head and shoulder massages. Next came face embellishment, high end dress up items, a gine station, DJ, percussionist and dancing. Marshmellows by the fire pit then arrived alongside a snack of mini mac & cheese pots (a favourite of the groom!) and finally a surprise fire show. Photos to follow.

Everything events – bespoke!

World class services from our beautiful little island

World class services from our beautiful little island

Running an events, catering & hire agency successfully in Ibiza requires a strong mixture of very different components. To satisfy an international clientele, we have to think fast, be creative and respond in a variety of languages across a globe of timezones.
As we are based on an island with a high turnover of seasonal workers, suppliers and business contacts, we continually communicate across several languages and manage different countries business legalities. To tackle this, we have spent the winter meticulously planning as much of our events as possible, as well as putting new policies and process in place to ensure a smooth running summer across every element of the business – from the health and safety of our catering business, to the company structure and management, to ensuring our clients are well communicated with and have an amazing event schedule lined up for them. Now in our fifth year of business as an events agency (previously solely catering/a restauranteur) we have an international team who speak over 10 languages and have worked in over 20 countries across the globe delivering food and events services. Our mix of working cultures as a team mean we understand how our range of clients behave and what they demand, which alongside our experience working on the island, our reputation here and our proactive working approach, is the perfect balance to being able to work successfully. We know we have to expect the unexpected on an island where things ever change, are inaccessible and which is forever surprising us. Absolute craziness at times, yes. Would we change it for the world – absolutely not! Bring on the summer!

Servicios de lujo desde nuestra hermosa pequeña isla.

En Ibiza, planear, organizar y ejecutar eventos, catering y agencias con éxito, requiere una compleja mezcla de componentes. Para satisfacer una clientela internacional, es importante apresurar el pensamiento, ser creativo, responder en diversos idiomas y adaptarse a un mundo de husos horarios.
Por estar afincada en una isla con alta rotación de trabajadores, y con proveedores y negocios estacionales, estamos continuamente comunicando en variadas lenguas y gestionando diferentes legalidades empresarias de diversos países.
Para hacer frente a eso, hemos pasado el invierno planeando meticulosamente nuestros eventos, así como implementando nuevas políticas y  procedimientos para garantizar el buen funcionamiento durante el verano de cada elemento del negocio – desde la sanidad de nuestro catering hasta la estructura y gestión de la empresa, todo para asegurar la buena comunicación con nuestros clientes y garantizarles un evento increíblemente bien programado.
Ahora, en nuestro quinto año de actividad como agencia de eventos (anteriormente solamente catering y restauración) tenemos un equipo multinacional capaz de comunicarse en 10 idiomas diferentes y que ha trabajado en más de 20 países por todo el mundo, entregando alimentos y servicios de eventos. Nuestra mezcla de culturas como equipo y la experiencia de haber trabajado en diferentes países hace que entendamos el comportamiento y las necesidades de nuestra amplia gama de clientes, sumado al conocimiento adquirido trabajando en la isla, nuestra reputación aquí y nuestro enfoque de trabajo proactivo, forma el equilibrio perfecto para el éxito de nuestra labor.
Sabemos que tenemos que esperar lo inesperado, al final Ibiza es una isla que está en constante cambio, las cosas son inaccesibles y siempre nos sorprende.
Una absoluta locura, a veces, sí. Lo cambiaríamos por un mundo –  ¡absolutamente no! ¡Que venga el verano!
