Food & Drink

Cheers!

This is a crucial part of the day that everyone can relish. There are many different ways you and your guests can enjoy the food and drink, ranging from formal sit down affairs to buffets, afternoon tea, barbeques and picnics.

If any of your guests have dietary requirements, because of allergies or because they are vegetarians. High standard caterers will be able to adapt menus to suit your needs.

You can hire in a catering company that covers everything from food and drink to the table decorations. When you meet the caterers ask to see and taste some example menus. Make sure they know what you want and how they are going to organise their part of the day. If you are having an afternoon reception and evening party make sure there is food at both. If some guests are spending the whole day there, they need to replenish.

Make sure soft drinks are available for guests as well as wine and champagne. Drinks need to be offered for the reception, the meal, toasts and the evening party.

Have your cake and eat it!

The wedding cake is a symbolic feature of the wedding. The couple traditionally make the first cut together to signify their shared future. Wedding cake specialists are ideal for a cake that needs to be spectacular, such as themed cakes or one that's designed especially for you.

Wedding cakes have come along way from the traditional three-tiered royal icing cakes with a miniature bride and groom on top. Now, you can have chocolate cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and dessert pieces or chocolate fountains and novelty cakes. Your cake maker should let you try different samples of cakes and work with you to create a cake that has the wow factor!
