San Mateo, Ibiza
Juntos House
Juntos House mixes elegant romance with rustic countryside charm in the rolling fields of San Mateo. Genuine farm-to-table cuisine and a refined service sets the scene for memory making celebrations.
Old-country charm and a romantic European elegance set the tone for unforgettable celebrations at Juntos House. This stunning restaurant and wedding venue is located just past the pretty 18th century church in the petite hamlet of San Mateo in the island’s north. Surrounded by bucolic countryside and supplied by the restaurant’s own organic farm, this magical Ibiza wedding venue exudes an ethereal elegance, as if Cupid himself is hiding in the forest nearby.
The ancient farmhouse overlooks a semi-circular stone dining patio, where wild grasses sway at the edges and centenarian olive trees keep guard of a special kind of romance. Ceremonies are held in the garden where the scent of pine and rosemary wafts across the lovers and their loved ones. Decoration is welcome but often unnecessary, as Mother Nature herself supplies copious beauty to all aspects of this countryside Ibiza wedding venue. On arrival, the Juntos House team imperceptibly moves through the gathering delivering cava, sangria or a specially constructed cocktail built just for the happy day.
After vows are exchanged and the cheers of the guests echo through the trees, everyone makes their way to the patio, where the sandstone walls of the old farmhouse create a stunning backdrop for the slow transformation from afternoon to evening. Canapes appear, built for maximum flavour using ingredients sourced directly from Juntos Farm in nearby Santa Gertrudis. Refreshing melon with cachaça and mint; shots of tangy gazpacho and free-range chicken brochettes make the rounds paired with delicate wines or bubbles. The ambience at this Ibiza wedding venue builds while the Juntos House kitchen team are busy preparing dinner.
A focus on quality produce direct from the farm or from trusted suppliers, matched with seasonal menus and exquisite technique, defines the culinary offering at Juntos House. Guests make their way to long tables set into the gardens and adorned with flowers, candles and crisp linens. Starters might include tasty morsels such as braised broccoli florets with pistachio, tahini and fried capers or cured Ibicencan amberjack in beetroot juice scattered with pickled mustard seeds. Dinner is served family style, further deepening the connections between guests and cementing this Ibiza wedding venue as a place for sociable joy.
As the wine flows freely, mains arrive with the usual Juntos House aplomb. Wild local fish comes doused in saffron beurre blanc with a side of kale; juicy Rubia Gallega steak is served with baby potatoes and a fresh green salad, while the free-range chicken is complemented by parsnips, baby carrots and mustard greens. With appetites sated, the party moves back to the patio where live music, DJs or any kind of entertainment you can imagine turns up the party vibe at the Ibiza wedding venue.
As midnight arrives, Juntos House transitions indoors, where the festivities continue under the farmhouse eaves of this magical Ibiza wedding venue. Late-night snacks appear just as the bonhomie crests. Candles flicker against ancient sandstone and as the party eventually dissipates into the balmy evening, the scent of pine trees accompanies new memories of friendship, celebration and happily ever after…
