TOP 3 WEDDING CATERING TRENDS
1. Share Plate (or banquet) style
This year, this style of catering was the winner. You have the same amount of choice for your guests as say, a buffet but instead of getting up and lining up for it, platters are served down the middle of the table for guests to help themselves creating a “family dinner” style atmosphere. The food can be as rustic or refined as you would like, it’s just the style of service is more relaxed than a formal sit down, served event where the caterer brings out individual portions.
This style also lends itself to customisation and theming. For example, seafood heavy summer feast or a Mediterranean style menu to reflect family heritage.
2. Themed Food Stalls – Street Food
This style of event is presented in a carnival style atmosphere where guests can walk around and take as little or as much as they want from each stall. This is a great style for outdoor weddings and you can have loads of variety. Ever seen food trucks at a wedding? This is way classier, more cost effective and you only have to deal with one catering supplier. It’s also easy to cater for your guests with dietary restrictions.
3. Canapes
What? Surely canapes alone can’t be enough you ask? Sure they can. You can have a lovely variety of canapes served in stages including desserts. Your guests can mingle freely and you can still have scattered tables and chairs for those who prefer to sit. Canapes can be just as filling as a sit down meal and you can do away with other formalities such as crockery, centre pieces and linen.
Our chefs are very generous so you can be assured no guest will go hungry. We also have a “bowl bite” option designed to be easily eaten while standing. This style of catering for a wedding is characteristically minimal stress and budget friendly.

The share plate set up was perfect, I’m so glad we did it. It’s a more casual family-style of dining and I think people love that they can help themselves to whatever they want without it feeling like a bain marie buffet (which I can’t stand!).
