Begin with your favourite flavours

Write down dishes, ingredients or shared food memories that mean something to you. They provide a personal starting point. A favourite dish need not be recreated exactly; sometimes a single ingredient or familiar flavour is enough.

Plan reception and dinner together

A long reception needs different food from a short aperitif. Consider the ceremony, photographs and speeches so guests are not left waiting too long to eat. Develop the menu and schedule together.

Consider every guest

Gather vegetarian and vegan preferences and allergy information early, and share them together. Consider children and suitable portions too. Specific ingredients and feasible options need to be agreed before the final menu is approved.

Choose the finish with care

Wedding cake, a dessert buffet and a late-night snack can complement one another, but they need not all be extensive. Coordinate the sequence with the evening programme, leaving room for conversation, music and celebration.
