A Wedding and Catering

FANDANGO Catering's Principals, Jesús Lumbreras-Calvo and Kristina Ríos de Lumbreras, celebrate their wedding anniversary today.

We were married Sept. 18, 1992 in Sepúlveda, Spain, near Jesús's uncle's country house, followed by a luncheon at the famous Cándido's and a weekend house party at the parcela (country estate).

Even then we talked about owning a food business one day, and we've made our dream a reality.
Special thanks to our investors and mentors Jesús's uncle and father and my father, and thanks to all for your continued support of our work!

Warmly,

Kristina
