Our tips: Book your caterer

Your guests are looking forward to a spectacular meal and you naturally would not want to disappoint. Food plays such an important role at an event. Guests measure the success of an event to their culinary experience! Never skimp. Spoil your guests with freshness, tastes and colour.

Your wedding caterer will not simply suggest and supply the food. Depending on your caterer it could include coordinating rentals required, providing well-trained service staff for set-up, serving and the post-wedding strike.

Decide on your budget and serving preference first. A full-service set menu perhaps with some à la carte options? Or more relaxed and social food stations or a Mediterranean buffet to the table? Your caterer will be able to discuss the pros and cons of each option and suggest the best way forward to ensure your menu and serving style fit in with the style and atmosphere of your wedding.

Speak to your caterer about your budget and serving style, amount of guests, culinary preferences and dietary requirements. You can leave it in their professional hands to create a menu perfectly suited for you.

Caterers offer menu tastings. We highly recommend it! Why not go for a wonderful meal with your fiancé, pair some wines and enjoy the tastes options. This will give you peace of mind and also expose you to some options you might not even have considered.

Bon Appétit!
