A plated menu
A shared rhythm at the table. Agree seating, courses and service routes ahead of time.
The reception, wedding meal, cake and late snack belong in one schedule. Start with your day and your venue, then develop a menu concept with clear responsibilities for food, service and equipment.

Record when the ceremony ends and dinner begins. Light canapés can accompany the first drink while photographs are taken. A long wait needs more than a token bite. Coordinate drinks, shade and a wet-weather space with the venue.
Choose a plated menu, buffet or sharing format after checking seating and service routes. One concept is a seasonal starter, a hot main with an equivalent plant-based option and a small dessert. Put courses and speeches into one agreed order.
A wedding cake changes dessert quantities. Agree refrigeration, cutting, tableware and responsibility with the relevant provider. A late snack is a separate choice based on timing and the guests still attending. Equipment return and collection also need a time slot.
Food, staff, drinks, delivery and equipment are agreed individually. Only the services in the confirmed proposal are binding.
Prepare your event briefStart once you know the date, approximate headcount and venue. Kitchen facilities, setup windows and service requirements affect feasibility. Early planning helps; the date is only secured after explicit confirmation.
A tasting is a separate item to agree. Ask about availability, scope, timing and any charge before including it in your plans. This website does not promise an included or complimentary tasting.
That depends on the agreed scope. Record the provider, refrigeration, cutting, serving and tableware in writing. For drinks supplied separately, also agree storage, glasses, service and any additional charges.
