The food is nearly always the most important investment you make on your wedding day.

And rightfully so. Not only does the food make a fantastic gathering even better, but sitting down to a dinner with all of your favorite people in the world is quite amazing. (Not to mention the fact that hungry guests do not make for excellent dancefloor company!)

It can be difficult to plan a reception supper (or wedding breakfast, as it is known in the UK, because it is the first meal a married couple shares together!) You’re not just catering to hundreds of various tastes, but this isn’t just any ordinary lunch, so you want to make it truly memorable.

Seasonal is Best

Everyone wants their wedding cuisine to be flawless, and what could be more ideal than serving deliciously seasonal food to your guests?

Seasonality not only improves the taste of your meal, but it also ensures that the ingredients are available in your area.

Include a Theme

Adding a theme to your wedding will make it more unique for you because you will be able to stamp your individuality on the day, and having the cuisine and catering fit your vision will make it even better.

Share your theme with your caterer, whether it’s a Fiesta or a Californian Dream, so they may tailor the food to your preferences.

Have a Headcount

How many people will be there is probably one of the most crucial factors to consider when organizing your catering.

Even if you don’t have exact figures, knowing the size of your wedding is quite helpful to the caterers.

Smaller weddings allow you to be a little more daring and expensive with your per-person spending, whilst larger weddings often work well with wonderful shared platters or a buffet.

Remember Dietary Requirements

When asking for RSVPs, make sure to inquire about your guests’ dietary restrictions.

We get a lot of feedback about how great the vegetarian or gluten-free options were, and any caterer worth their salt would know how to treat these guests well.

Check with your guests to see what they require, then inform the caterers so they can prepare a beautiful feast for all of your visitors.

Feed Your Vendors

It’s your wedding, and the musicians and photographers are there to make yiour special event even more amazing.

It’s vital to remember, though, that these lovely people require food as well.

This is referred to as “outmess,” and it basically entails supplying food for individuals who are a part of the wedding crew.
