The experience
“During your initial consultation we listen carefully to fully understand the picture for your perfect wedding day. From there, we will create a planning timeline to guide the process in a way that works for you and your schedule, so you know exactly what to expect throughout the planning journey. Our Fine Collection catering services offer a complimentary menu tasting to each of our couples. At this stage we continue the discussions on how we can use your ideas and create them into timeless dining experiences, as we begin to imagine designs for your venue and tablescape styling.”

“We have a selection of menus we offer, each inspired by culinary innovation. From afternoon tea to classic seasonal dishes, from buffets to sharing platters, we are able to cater to all tastes and dietaries. We are proud to support a sustainable food agenda. Our conscious collection menu has been carefully selected to provide opportunity for our clients to develop their sustainable awareness through their menu selections and we seek to source UK based seasonal produce for our menus, working with local suppliers wherever possible.”

“We just wanted to say an enormous thank you for all the hard work you put into making our wedding so incredible – you clearly worked so hard on each little detail and perfected it all. Everyone we’ve spoken to has commented on how good the food was and we felt that the service provided was of the highest standard. We just can’t thank you enough because we felt so calm and reassured that it would go without a hitch – and it did! Thank you!”
