It’s not every day that you get married, and your wedding food should suit your own personal style, as well as the mood you want to create on the day. Casual or formal, traditional or something a little different, going all out or cheap & cheerful – it’s up to you.

These days the options for wedding food are endless, both in terms of the style of meal and the food itself. The main options in terms of style are below, and these can also be combined to form different parts of the day:

Groom’s tea

Tea, light sparkly cordials and some nice sweet bites to start things off

Canapé reception

Standing up, mingling and chatting, lots of delicious little morsels or tantalising bowls to tempt you, and perhaps a glass or two of something fizzy as well

Family style meal

Platters and bowls of food for each table to share. Creates a convivial atmosphere and gets your guests talking. A feast for every table!

Buffet

A table laden with tasty dishes allows guests to take what they please. This is a great option when the crowd has diverse food preferences. From a more traditional hot buffet, to a barbecue, to the whole hog, this style of meal will always please the crowd

Silver Service meal

When you want something a little more formal

And then there’s the food!
