A wedding menu that tastes of Punta del Este
I cook weddings in Punta del Este at estancias, vineyards near Garzón and beach venues in José Ignacio, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. You get one chef responsible for every plate, a menu written for you and a team I brief and lead.
Uruguay cooks with fire. I work with grass-fed Uruguayan beef and lamb, Atlantic fish, olive oil from the Garzón area and fresh produce from the chacras. Tannat and Albariño from Uruguay pair with the menu.
A menu idea: Fire-cooked beef and lamb, Atlantic fish and a Tannat pairing.
Season and logistics
The main wedding season in Punta del Este runs November to March. Countryside venues usually need a field kitchen and generator, planned with the venue in advance. I work alongside your planner and venue so the kitchen fits into their timeline.
What I can cook for you
Canapés and aperitif
Cold and warm bites for the arrival, each one a clean single mouthful, made from local produce.
The wedding dinner
A plated tasting menu, a family-style feast, food stations, or a mix of all three.
Drinks programme
Wine and champagne pairings, a non-alcoholic pairing and a signature cocktail, designed with the menu.
Late-night food
Something warm and salty around midnight to keep the dance floor going.
Welcome and rehearsal dinners
A relaxed barbecue or fire-cooked feast to start the weekend, or an intimate tasting menu for family.
Day-after brunch
A late, generous brunch for everyone who stayed, and one last moment together.
My signature: live-fire wedding catering, a wild and foraged wedding menu, and intimate weddings and elopements.
