Choosing your wedding catering...

Are you considering what catering to book for your wedding?
Food is one of the most important things at your wedding for your guests and there are so many options for catering it can be confusing. We have put together some information that may assist you while planning.

• A casual stand up affair: Canapes and fork bowls are the way to go! Canapes offer lots of variety for your guests and are so delicious. Fork bowls are substantial items that can be eaten while standing up. Perfect for a casual stand up wedding. A question we get often from couples planning a stand up wedding is 'will everyone be full with this style of catering' and this is so important to us. We have created our menu packages to ensure guests are full and satisfied.

 

• Casual sit-down styles: buffets have you covered! If you are looking for a more relaxed style of catering while still having a sit down meal buffets are great, plenty of choice and a real family affair. Our buffets are a decorative piece at your wedding. We style our buffet tables to make them a giant dinner grazing table full of colour and all the delicious food. Buffets are also great for big eaters as guests can come back for seconds or even thirds if they like.

 

• A formal family affair: if you are looking for something a little more formal but still have a family feel, than a banquet menu is a great option. This is also a real family sharing style, dinner is served in the middle of the table in bowls and platter between 8 to 10 guests with three main options and 4 side options to choose from. Lots of choice and guests don't need to get up to serve themselves.

 

• A formal affair: if you would like a formal dinner the alternate drop is the perfect menu for you! Alternate drop menus are served to tables with a choice of two dishes served alternatively between guests. Most couples choose a chicken and beef dish or beef and fish and this is alternated between guests. We offer pre selected choices if you guests select when they RSVP. Ask us for more information about this. 
  

Notes:

• Pre reception cocktail hour options - This is an important option to consider when menu planning. In our experience guests are often spending quite a lot of time getting ready throughout the day potentially traveling and they often miss lunch and are really hungry after the ceremony. Having something to tie them over is important especially once the bar opens for the evening. We also find its great to have something for guests to do while the 'Bride and Groom' are off having photos taken.
  • Pre reception could be canapes, a grazing table or shared cheese platters. All of these options work really well for the pre reception.
    
  • We also make pre reception hampers for any of these options so you can enjoy a hamper with your bridal party while your off having your photos taken.
