Canapés are a key element of a fantastic wedding. They establish the mood for the evening to come and create excitement for the dinner ahead. 💍
⁠
At Rocket, we take canapés very seriously. One of the best things about them is that you can have them anywhere and any time through Rocket's "little sibling," — and there are often so many additional occasions that precede or take place during the wedding weekend, whether it's an engagement party, bridal luncheon, or drinks for the out-of-towners.

The luxury canapé delivery service is perfect for those little occasions when you want delicious and elegant finger food without full event catering (save that for the big day!)⁠

📌Top tip: Organise a late lunch the day after your wedding to unwind, continue the festivities, indulge in more food, share stories, and bask in post-wedding bliss. After all the excitement and late-night dancing, a leisurely "hangover" meal is just what your guests need to recharge. It's also a great opportunity to thank everyone for being a part of your special day and another excuse to extend your wedding weekend. 😉

With the help of the amazing , we had the chance to work on Katya and Will’s wedding during last year's Coronation weekend in Suffolk. The entire estate was transformed into a magical setting for the long bank holiday weekend.

On the Sunday after Saturday's big wedding day, we arranged a laid-back and rustic "hangover" barbecue lunch following an early morning swim in the lake. To ensure our guests were fueled up, we provided takeaway coffee (and of course, bloody marys!). Accompanied by live music and board games, the buffet that came after featured a lot of fire-grilled dishes such as Salt Marsh lamb, rose harissa sea bass, dijon and tarragon Cotswold white chicken, and a variety of vibrant salads and sides.

After lunch, guests continued the fun with an 80's-themed pool party that featured boozy ice pops and delicious snacks like bao buns, mini fish and chips, and ceviche tacos.🌮
