Spring brings the Costa del Sol's best light, mildest weather and freshest produce — reasons enough why so many couples choose mid-April to June for their wedding day.
Spring is quietly becoming the preferred wedding season along the Costa del Sol, and it's easy to see why. Temperatures sit comfortably rather than soar, gardens are at their most colourful, and the light in Marbella and Estepona has a softness that photographers love. For catering, it also means access to the freshest seasonal ingredients of the year.
Why Couples Choose Spring
From mid-April to June, the coast offers mild evenings without the summer heat that can wilt flowers and tire guests before the dancing starts. Venues also tend to have more availability than peak summer months, giving couples greater choice over gardens, villas and beachfront settings. For catering teams, spring means working with produce at its best — new-season vegetables, tender lamb, the first stone fruits of the year.
Light, Seasonal Wedding Menus
Spring menus should feel fresh rather than heavy — think chilled soups, citrus-dressed fish, and salads built around whatever's just arrived at the market. A live-cooking chef finishing a course tableside adds a nice sense of occasion without weighing down a warm afternoon. Buffet-style spreads also work well for garden weddings, letting guests move between courses at their own pace as the day unfolds.
Blooms, Weather and Timing
Booking early matters: spring's popularity means the best venues and dates around Marbella and Málaga fill up months in advance. Rain is rare but worth planning for with a covered backup for buffet or bar stations. FlexFood quotes wedding catering per head once we know your guest count and menu style — prices exclude 21% VAT.
