Things people add on top of a menu rather than instead of one. Most of them are for the later part of the evening, when the dinner is cleared and the night changes gear.
COFFEE SERVICE
A two-hour barista service after dinner, serving every kind of coffee alongside a selection of teas.
ESPRESSO MARTINI STATION
Served with the coffee, or on its own once dinner is cleared, for the point in the night that needs a lift.
MIDNIGHT SNACK WITH LA VAN
Tacos and slider burgers served late, for the hour when the dancing has earned it.
PIZZA STATION
A live pizza station with a run of toppings, cooked and served in front of your guests.
CAVA TOWER
A poured cava tower for the toast — one of the few moments worth arranging the whole room around.
ICE CREAM CART
A cart of ice cream through the afternoon or after dinner. Reliably the first thing the children find.

TESTIMONIALS...
The canapés were a huge hit — guests were raving about them. The cocktail reception was handled with real professionalism, and guests were greeted with a welcome drink as soon as they arrived, which was a class touch that set the tone perfectly. The starter, mains, and dessert were all delicious. … the team handled 130 guests with ease and professionalism.
— Kieran & Louise McGeary
We hired La Van for both the wedding dinner (a plated, luxury style meal) and the day-after pool party. … Now months later, our guests STILL have not stopped raving about the food! … Max's team did not let a single wine glass go empty through the evening. They anticipated our needs with a premier level of service.
Our wedding experience was flawless from bar/drink service to cocktail hour to main course to after-party asado. A big part of planning a large event is the emotional strain, La Van Mallorca do a good job of taking that pressure off of you and helping tie together the loose ends. We had a ton of fun working with them.

How much does plated wedding catering cost?
Plated service is priced per person and comes down as guest numbers rise, because the fixed costs of an event spread further:
- 60 guests — €300 per person
- 80 guests — €270 per person
- 100 guests — €250 per person
- 120 guests — €245 per person
- 140 guests — €235 per person
- 200 guests — €225 per person
All prices include 10% VAT and cover the full list above — food, drinks, staff, furniture, tableware, transport, set-up and breakdown. Extras and premium upgrades are quoted separately.
Do you provide the staff, furniture and tableware?
Yes. Chefs, service staff, crockery, cutlery, glassware, tablecloths, napkins, tables, chairs and basic table settings are all part of the quote, along with transport, set-up and the breakdown afterwards.
For furniture beyond the basics we work with several of the island's leading rental suppliers, and visits to their showrooms are included so you can choose in person. Bespoke pieces and premium upgrades are quoted separately.
Do we get a tasting before the event?
Two personalised tastings are included once you have booked, and we will arrange a third if the menu still needs work. The point is that nothing served on the day is something you have not already tried.
Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?
Yes, and we would rather know early than late. Our menus are built so that every guest has a meat, fish or vegetarian option as standard, and we handle allergies and specific requirements individually — they are collected during planning and managed by the kitchen on the day.
Do you look after the bar and the drinks?
We do. Open bar service runs for four hours and covers premium spirits, wines, beers, soft drinks and water, along with classic cocktails and our own Canonita Spritz, made with local produce wherever we can.
If you would rather supply your own drinks — a case of something meaningful, or wine given as a wedding gift — we are happy to work that way and simply provide the service around it.
How many guests do you cater for?
We work with events from fifteen guests up to two hundred and fifty. Smaller numbers tend to suit a plated service or a private chef; larger ones suit family-style tables and show-cooking.
Which parts of Mallorca do you cover?
The whole island. We cater at fincas, villas, private estates and established wedding venues across Mallorca, and we bring our own kitchen equipment, which means we can work at locations with no kitchen of their own.
Do you only do weddings?
No. Weddings are the bulk of what we do, but we also handle corporate events and production catering, pool and villa parties, welcome dinners and other pre-wedding events, and private chef services in your own villa.
How far in advance should we book?
For a summer wedding, twelve to eighteen months is comfortable and the peak dates in June, July and September go first. Smaller events and villa catering need far less notice. If your date is close, ask anyway — it is worth a message before you assume we are full.
