Hosting an event during Malta’s sunniest months comes with its own set of challenges but with a few clever ideas (and the right catering partner), you can make it a smooth and stylish success. Here are some simple ways to keep things running beautifully, even in the heat. 

Skip the Scorching Sun

Timing is key. Avoid planning your event during peak heat hours, typically between noon and 4pm. A late afternoon or evening start is ideal, offering cooler temperatures and softer lighting for your photos. 

Start with a Refresher

There’s nothing like a refreshing welcome drink to get things going. Greet guests with something light and crisp like a citrus spritz or chilled prosecco. It sets the tone and keeps spirits high from the first sip. 

Offer Guests Shade

Whether it’s parasols, stylish tents or a venue with natural cover, make sure there’s plenty of shade available. It keeps your guests comfortable and protects them from the sun, especially during the earlier parts of the event.

Keep the Drinks Flowing

An open bar keeps guests happy and hydrated, with everything from summery cocktails and prosecco to alcohol-free spritzers and mocktails. It’s a great way to keep everyone refreshed while adding a festive touch to your event. 

Don’t Only Offer Hot Food

Serving only hot meals isn’t always the best fit for warm weather. Include a mix of light, cold dishes that feel fresh from cold canapés to chilled desserts. Our team is always happy to help you build a menu that keeps things cool while still impressing your guests.
