CREATING PERFECT PACKAGES & MENU'S

When it comes to creating the perfect wedding menu, no two wedding days are the same. Each couple has their own story, style, and vision, and my job is to bring it all to life through food.

Today, I’ve been chatting to a good friend of mine Elaine of Elaine's Wedding Consultancy finalising packages and menus for an upcoming project we are working on and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Bon Appetit is not just about amazing food. It’s about the experience, the joy of sitting down with couples to hear their ideas, the excitement of tasting sessions where flavors come alive, and the satisfaction of seeing it all come together on the big day.

Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxed, family style feast or an elegant plated dinner, we work with you to create a menu that’s as unique as your love story.

What would your dream wedding menu look like?
Let us know in the comments, we’d love to hear your ideas!

TABLE ETIQUETTE TIPS

Whether you’re seated at a beautiful table or enjoying a relaxed buffet, a few key etiquette tips can elevate the experience for everyone.

At Bon Appetit, we bring love to the table in every detail, including these top tips to make you and your guests feel comfortable and confident!

FOR A SEATED MEAL

1. Napkin Know-How 🕊️
Place your napkin on your lap as soon as you're seated, and if you step away, set it on your chair, not the table.

2. Navigating Your Cutlery 🍴
Follow the “outside-in” rule: start with the utensils on the outer edge and work your way in with each course.

3. Wait for All to Be Served 🍲
Begin once everyone at your table is served, or follow the host’s cue. This shared start brings everyone together.

4. Pace Yourself ⏳
Take your time to enjoy the meal, and match your pace to others at your table.

5. Signal You’re Finished 🥂
Place utensils side by side on your plate when done to signal it’s ready to be cleared.

FOR A BUFFET STYLE MEAL

1. Line Up with Patience 🥗
Wait for your turn without rushing. Buffets work best when guests keep an orderly line, so everyone enjoys their selections.

2. Keep Portions Considerate 🍛
Buffets offer a variety, so take modest portions to allow everyone to try each dish. You can always go back for seconds!

3. Use Fresh Plates for Seconds 🍽️
When returning for another round, always grab a fresh plate to keep the serving area clean and welcoming.

4. Mind the Serving Utensils ✋
Use the provided serving utensils for each dish, and avoid mixing them between dishes to respect all dietary preferences.

5. Watch for Cues from Others 🥂
Once back at your table, wait until most people are seated to start. This way, everyone enjoys the meal together!

Whether a formal seated meal or a relaxed buffet, these simple touches make a big difference. We’re excited to bring elegance to every part of your wedding dining experience!

Choosing the Perfect Table Style for Your Wedding Reception

The style of table you choose can impact not only the atmosphere of your wedding but also the dining experience for your guests. Here’s a guide to the main table types and their benefits from both a style and catering perspective:

✨ Long Tables

Perfect for a family-style vibe, long tables create a communal feel, letting guests interact across a continuous layout. Catering tip: Long tables are great for family-style service, as dishes can easily be passed along, creating an interactive dining experience. They also allow for efficient service access along the length of the table, making meal delivery smooth and timely.

✨ Banquet Tables

Banquet tables offer a balance of flexibility and intimacy. They can be joined together for a seamless look or arranged in sections. Catering tip: Banquet tables work well for plated meals and buffet-style dining, as there’s ample space to navigate between sections. Plus, servers have direct access to each table, making it easier to accommodate any guest requests.

✨ Round Tables

Round tables are a timeless, elegant choice that’s perfect for classic receptions. They encourage conversation among smaller groups and are ideal for formal meals. Catering tip: Round tables provide equal access for guests to plated courses and allow for efficient service all around. The circular layout also makes it easy to place water and wine bottles for self-serve, which can add a touch of convenience.

Each table style has its unique strengths, and the right choice can enhance both your reception’s ambiance and your guests’ dining experience. Which table style is calling your name? 🍽️

CONSIDER YOUR MENU FLOW

When you are planning your wedding menu, the sequence and style of each course play a big role in ensuring guests enjoy every bite without feeling overly full. Starting with canapés gives your guests a taste of what’s to come, while also leaving room for a heartier main course. This way, everyone stays satisfied and energised for an evening of celebration! After all we want everyone on the dance floor.

At Bon Appetit, we specialise in creating a beautifully balanced menu that complements your taste and the flow for your day. From delicate bites to satisfy guests on arrival to a main event that leaves a lasting impression, each course is thoughtfully designed for a perfect dining experience. 🌸
