Tanusia & Michael's wedding at El Monestir de Sant Salvi
It is true that a very high percentage of the weddings we do are in venues close to our facilities. We love working in Sitges or the surrounding area (whether it's in Sant Pere de Ribes, Tarragona or Barcelona). But there's nothing like leaving our comfort zone and going to work in new venues.
The advantage of being a catering company is that we can go wherever the couple wants.
On this occasion, we traveled to Girona to celebrate Tanusia & Michael's wedding in the space they chose for their destination wedding; El Monestir de Sant Salvi.
El Monestir de Sant Salvi
We are talking about a Franciscan convent from 1282 that has been remodeled and which is located on a hill, offering incredible views of "El Montseny".
We can confirm that it is a unique and charming space. But without a doubt the area that surprised us the most in the same space was the Church.
It is an old church that has been renovated while respecting its essence, and consists of a room of more than 400 square meters, in which to organize the banquet of your dreams.
Tanusia & Michael used the church to celebrate the banquet and also the party. They chose to make two long tables, and they had a single table (the top one), from which they presided over the dinner and could see all their guests.
However, el Monestir de Sant Salvi has other areas that will add something extra to your celebration, as each of them has unique and exclusive views, surroundings or atmosphere.
Getting married in Girona
We are talking about one of the most authentic areas of Catalonia. Old buildings, charming villages, bordered by the beaches of the famous Costa Brava and inland by the Pyrenees mountains. A rural, warm and welcoming atmosphere.
For some time now, the most sought-after venues for celebrating weddings are country houses (Masias).
In Girona, most of the farmhouses have the characteristics mentioned above, such as being located in the mountains and with a rustic atmosphere (those where when you arrive you think; will I have phone service?), but at the same time close to the beautiful beaches.
That is a must for those couples looking for a quiet and unique environment, but close to the most lively part in which to have a pre-wedding dinner or a day on the beach that ends with a cocktail in a restaurant or bar. of the area.
Its contrasts between sea and mountain are fascinating and bring you a variety of options.
El Monestir de Sant Salvi also has this unique location and environment, like many other country houses for weddings in Girona.

Tanusia & Michael were one of those couples who, even though they have a wedding planner, Barcelona Brides were the organizers of their wedding, are very involved in the process, they are interactive and want the organization process to be enjoyable for everyone.
From our company, ESKISIT Catering, we were in charge of setting up the chairs for the ceremony as well as providing welcome drinks to welcome the guests before the ceremony began.
Whenever possible, we recommend that the bride and groom have a welcome drinks before the ceremony. It is a small, but at the same time great detail for your guests. Since having a refreshing drink while you wait, or not having one, does make a difference, and the wait becomes a little more pleasant.
In the end it is about 25 or 30 minutes long and although the couple normally cannot enjoy it much, it is a success among the people who arrive at the celebration.
ESKISIT's welcome drinks currently includes: water with fruit, lemonade and mini mojito.
Our service starts again once the couple says "I do", with our favorite part of weddings:
The appetizer.
Tanu & Michael chose an irresistible selection of appetizers, including classics such as our homemade ham croquettes, they also added several veggie options such as mini pita with falafel and yogurt sauce, without forgetting those featuring fish, such as the tapa of Sevillan fried squid.
The good thing about having different references is that there are gastronomic options for all tastes.
They complemented the appetizer with a paella buffet, which of course also included flavors for all tastes: a seafood paella “el senyoret” (no shells), a vegetable paella and also a chicken and pork paella (the meat paella is a must in all the weddings, the guests love that one).
Time for dinner!
Tanusia & Michael’s destination wedding banquet had a spectacular outcome. We have to mention this since we worked time on your wedding, the face of the bride and groom when they came in and saw it, says it all;
Let's check the wedding menu!
They go ahead with a light and refreshing first course, in fact it has become one of the star dishes of this season.
They started with the Natural tomato cream with tuna belly, basil ice cream and crumble. Continued with the Griddle of boneless confit suckling lamb accompanied by truffled potato parmentier and carrots roasted in the oven with aromatic herbs. Almost finished the wedding menu with a fresh sorbet of citrus and vegetables (don’t be fooled by the name).
And now yes, they ended with a SPECTACULAR wedding cake.
The decoration was selected and chosen by the couple. They were responsible of letting us know their initial idea through inspirational images, so that our pastry team could create the cake of their dreams.
On the outside? Vintage, striking, starring through fuchsia and pink colors.
On the inside? With two different flavors;
Lemon (Madagascar vanilla sponge cake with poppy seeds and creamy lemon filling).
White chocolate with hazelnuts (chocolate sponge cake with 60% cocoa filled with white chocolate cream with hazelnuts).
When couples want two flavors for their wedding cake and are unsure which ones to choose, we always recommend choosing a sweeter flavor (chocolate style) and a fresher flavor (represented by some fruit).
So, it’s easier to have a little for everyone.
