Weddings at Diego's
Small weddings, big feasts
For couples who would rather feed forty people they love than impress two hundred they barely know. Intimate receptions, wedding breakfasts and celebration dinners around the fire.
- Intimate parties up to 60
- Feasting menus
- Styling welcome
- City-centre location
The anti-marquee wedding venue
No hire halls, no caterers in a car park. A warm room, a real kitchen with an open fire and food your guests will genuinely remember. That is the whole pitch.
Feasting, the Portuguese way
Wedding breakfasts and reception dinners built on sharing: platters down the long table, wine flowing, nobody stuck with a rubbery plated chicken breast.
Styled your way
Bring your florist, your styling and your cake. The Fiesta Room and the long tables take beautifully to dressing, and we will set it all up with you.
The food
Sample wedding menus
Every wedding menu is designed with the couple. These are favourite starting points.
- The Wedding Feast: tapas boards, then whole rotisserie chickens, picanha and sea bass down the table
- Three-course wedding breakfast: choice menu with prosecco toast
- Evening spread: standing buffet of wings, croquettes and platters for the evening do
- Drinks: arrival cocktails, wine packages and champagne by the bottle
Good to know
Your questions, answered
How many wedding guests can Diego's host?
Up to 40 seated in the private Fiesta Room, and up to 60 with exclusive hire of the whole restaurant. We are honest about this: we do intimate brilliantly, we do not do 200.
Can we hire the whole restaurant for a wedding?
Yes. Exclusive hire gives you the dining room, the terrace in season and the team, all to yourselves for the day or evening.
Can we decorate and bring our own cake?
Yes to both. Florists and stylists are welcome ahead of your party, and your cake takes pride of place, cut and served by us with no cake fee.
Do you host wedding breakfasts after registry office ceremonies?
All the time. We are ten minutes from Southampton's registry office, and a long-table feast is the perfect next stop.
