For weddings of all creeds, food is a hugely important part of the celebration. Your venue must be able to cope with all dietary needs and produce memorable food.

There’s a chance that in the excitement of the day you won’t remember much about the goodies on your plate, but your guests will. It doesn’t have to be super fancy but it must be good.

Before you sign on the dotted line, either have a meal at the venue or ask to taste the menu offered. The same applies if you’re bringing in your own caterer.

Budget and the style of wedding will influence whether you choose a buffet or a formal seated reception. A fork or finger buffet will cost less than a seated meal, which needs higher numbers of staff. Before you get a quote, compile a rough idea of numbers.
