Marbella has become a top spot for small weddings and intimate celebrations. Many couples now choose private villas, terraces, beach houses, and boutique venues instead of big hotels. The vibe is relaxed, personal, and focused on good food, good drinks, and time with the people you love.

If you’re planning a small wedding in Marbella or anywhere on the Costa del Sol for 2026, here are a few ideas to help you create a smooth and memorable day.

Why Small Weddings Work So Well in Marbella

The weather is great for most of the year
Villas offer privacy and a cosy atmosphere
You can build a menu that truly fits your style
Guests can enjoy a holiday and a wedding in one trip

Instead of a huge banquet, many couples choose shared plates, tapas-style food, paella, and relaxed cocktail hours that keep the day flowing naturally.

Wedding Catering Ideas for 2026

1. Tapas & Canapés for a Light Start

Perfect for guests arriving at the villa. Options include mini bruschettas, garlic prawns, manchego bites with honey, croquetas, and small cold tapas.

2. Live Paella Show for the Main Meal

Paella always brings everyone together. It’s colourful, smells amazing, and works well for outdoor Marbella weddings. Seafood, chicken & chorizo, black squid ink, or vegetarian — your choice.

3. Family-Style Mediterranean Dinner

For couples who want a more classic dinner without making it too formal. Dishes like:

Beef tenderloin
Fresh fish with lemon and herbs
Roast chicken with citrus
Grilled veggies
Salads and sharing sides

4. Sweet Finishing Touch

Tiramisu, lemon tart, chocolate fondant, or a dessert table for guests to pick from.
