Our 5 Tips

for choosing the perfect cuisine for your wedding

Personalise the menu to your story

Your wedding is a reflection of your unique journey as a couple. Incorporate elements of your favourite meals, family traditions or the places you've traveled. Whether it's a signature dish from your first date, or a cuisine from your honeymoon destination, make the menu personal and meaningful.

Balance your guests' tastes

While it's your day, remember to accommodate your guests' preferences and dietary needs. A well-rounded menu should include options for vegetarians, vegans and guests with food allergies. Offering a variety of proteins, grains and vegetables ensures there's something for everyone.

Think about the service style

The way food is served can set the tone for your reception. Plated dinners offer an elegant, formal experience, while family-style or buffet services create a more casual, interactive atmosphere. You can even mix it up with cocktail-style receptions featuring canapés or live food stations for a unique experience.

Offer a memorable dessert experience

Beyond the traditional wedding cake, consider offering a variety of mini desserts or a dessert bar. These give guests the chance to indulge in different treats and make your reception's final course more exciting and memorable. You could even tie the dessert into your theme, such as gelato for an Italian-inspired wedding, or a doughnut wall for a more casual affair.

Create a tasting experience with multiple courses

Instead of a traditional two or three-course meal, consider offering a tasting menu with several small, beautifully plated courses. This allows guests to experience a wider range of flavours and culinary techniques, making the meal feel more indulgent and memorable.
