Catering for Weddings & Christenings

Catering for Weddings & Christenings - Catering in Greater Lisbon

A wedding or a christening is, for many families, the most important event of the year - or of a lifetime. Choosing the catering stops being a logistical question and becomes an emotional decision: what are we going to serve our guests on a day we want to be perfect? At Savoré, we understand the responsibility we carry when we accept caring for the gastronomy of these moments.

Wedding catering requires coordination of multiple moments throughout an entire day. We start with the welcome drink, usually served after the ceremony: sophisticated finger food and drinks that greet guests as they head to the reception space. Then comes the main moment - lunch or dinner - with starters, fish course, meat course (or vegetarian and vegan options of equivalent quality), dessert and coffee. To close the day, we offer a Portuguese signature pastry table and a late-night supper.

Our approach to christenings and religious celebrations is different in scale but equal in standards. These are events that bring together several family generations and the menu must please everyone without losing gastronomic identity. We propose generous brunches or traditional Portuguese lunches elevated with contemporary cooking technique. Ingredients are seasonal, sourced from local producers in the Lisbon and Oeste regions.

We work with weddings from 40 to over 250 guests, and christenings from 20 to 100 people. For larger events, we deploy a complete team on site: chefs, kitchen assistants, service team, event manager. Discover also our corporate catering, our catering for private celebrations and our retreat catering.

Dietary inclusion is one of our priorities. At any modern wedding or christening there are guests with restrictions - vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, specific allergies. Instead of treating these options as exceptional, we integrate them into the main menu with the same quality and plating care.

Pre-tasting is part of our process for weddings with more than 40 guests. We work with all the main event venues in Greater Lisbon: estates in Sintra, palaces in Lisbon, gardens in Cascais and Estoril, historic venues in Oeiras and estates in Mafra.

We serve across the entire Greater Lisbon region, with logistics adapted to the size and location of each event. Explore all our catering services. Because some days deserve a menu to match - and your wedding or christening is, certainly, one of them.
