Hacienda San Jerónimo is a celebration venue in Aracena, in the province of Huelva, with room for up to 750 guests. It hosts weddings, civil ceremonies, baptisms, first communions and receptions or gala dinners linked to congresses. The grounds sit in dehesa landscape on the Aracena to Huelva road, in the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche.
Seminars and company events
The venue's congress page positions it for receptions, gala dinners and other events around congresses held in Aracena. The town has hosted national and international meetings, among them the World Ham Congress in 2009 and the Cuevatur national and Ibero-American congress on show caves in 2010 and 2014. The site does not describe meeting rooms or conference equipment, so plan it for the social side of a congress: a welcome reception, a gala dinner or a closing party.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the core activity. The team says it has more than 20 years of experience and offers a full service. The garden can host civil ceremonies outdoors, in a large open-air area set up for the occasion, and the celebration hall receives the banquet. The menus run from a canapé reception through shared starters and individual first courses to mains, desserts and an open bar with a DJ. Baptisms and first communions are also organized, with play areas and attractions for children and menus adapted to them.
Rooms and capacities
The official site states capacity for up to 750 guests across the grounds. It does not give room names or per-room figures. The garden is presented as a wide outdoor space for ceremonies and receptions, and the indoor celebration hall hosts the meal. Ask the team how the 750 figure divides between hall and garden for your format.
Accommodation
The site lists accommodation among the extras the team can arrange, together with live music, ham carvers, a photographer and trips. Contact details on the site point to Hotel Los Castaños in Aracena. The site does not state a number of bedrooms.
Catering
Catering is handled by the venue. Its kitchen combines the traditions of the Sierra de Aracena with newer flavors. The menu page lists canapés such as the mini Aracena empanada, cut-to-order Iberian ham and a cheese buffet. Shared dishes include acorn-fed Iberian ham, cured cheese, stuffed piquillo peppers and white prawns from Huelva. Mains include sirloin with Pedro Ximénez sauce, Iberian pork cheek with oloroso and baked sea bass. Desserts include the toasted cream of Aracena, and the evening continues with an open bar, optional pastries and a DJ. Late-night snacks such as a hot dog kiosk or churros are also listed.
History and setting
The grounds are surrounded by dehesa, the open oak pasture typical of this part of Andalusia. Aracena is classed by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve and lies in the heart of Sierra Morena. The town is a regular host of scientific, cultural and gastronomic meetings.
