When planning your wedding, there are endless details to consider, all of which will have their own effect on the way that your special day comes together.

Of course, some of those decisions are bigger ones than others – with one such decision being the process of choosing the perfect menu for your wedding guests.

Whatever the theme or look of your day overall and whatever style of cuisine you’re looking to serve, there’s a perfect catering selection for every couple’s big day – it’s just a matter of selecting the right one for you.

Here are a few things that we feel are important to consider when selecting your wedding menu.

Take Dietary Requirements Into Account Early On

Part of bringing together the perfect wedding menu is ensuring that every guest’s dietary requirements are fully covered and catered for during the day.

With the likelihood that guests may be vegetarian or vegan, gluten-free or have other allergies that will need to be considered, we’d recommend checking for every guest’s dietary requirements early on in the stage of planning your wedding.

This will give you plenty of time to ensure that your food isn’t just delicious, but that it’s suitable for each and every one of your guests, too. To give you the most time possible, you could include a reminder or request to notify you and your partner of any dietary requirements with your invitations.

Ensure It’s Suited To Your Schedule

The type of food that you serve at your wedding is also dependent on what will fit in alongside the rest of your wedding schedule.

If you’re planning on having guests sit at their tables at the beginning of the reception to enjoy the speeches and are willing to allocate plenty of time for this, a three course sit-down meal is a great option – sophisticated and beautifully presented, our sit-down dinner selections will delight your guests.

However, if you’re looking to create a more casual, free-flowing atmosphere throughout your wedding day, you may wish to choose an option that will allow guests to eat what they like and when they want to. The most popular option in this instance is, of course, the wedding buffet – something which we pride ourselves on delivering in the highest of quality.

However, one option rising in popularity is street food. Wood-fired pizzas, hog roast sandwiches, noodle dishes from across the world… we offer a vibrant range of informal dining options, with something to suit each and every couple and their guests.

Taste Tests

We understand that the majority of couples wouldn’t select their wedding menu without sampling the delights for themselves – that’s why we’re happy to offer consultations and taste tests to our prospective clients.

As an event host, one of your top priorities is ensuring that all of your guests are happy and have a good time. So, it is vitally important that you are serving them with exquisite food. Good quality food can make a big difference to the day. Here at JEM Catering & Events we truly understand the value of high quality food at events, which is why we have worked hard to create a menu full of flavourful and unique dishes that will leave your guests feeling happy and satisfied.
