Vintage is the new best thing in terms of wedding styles and venue decoration, but there is no reason why your catering should not be vintage themed as well. Have you thought about a vintage dinner or tea party? How about using vintage crockery or vintage table cloths? It is best to talk to your catering supplier and to discuss your vintage vision.
Wedding catering in its most simple form: a barbecue or hog roast for an evening wedding reception is a relaxed and informal way for your guests to mix and get to know each other. Don't feel this is just an option for rustic barn venues, some of the UK's most prestigious wedding reception venues offer gourmet barbecues with handmade relishes and locally produced organic meats. There are also excellent fresh fish and vegetable options which means that everyone can enjoy food from the BBQ. Outdoor wedding catering is improving so fast that your wedding BBQ will look professional, fresh and delicious.
Some wedding catering companies bring with them facilities which they use such as chillers, but that will be included in the cost. Therefore some wedding caterers may appear to be much cheaper but don't be fooled. You will probably have to hire the equipment separately. The best plan is to discuss with the caterer what is included in the cost.
Alcohol will account for a large part of your budget, and there are savings to be had for brides organising their own caterers as most will be happy for you to supply your own wine supplies. Check corkage charges first - it is usual for caterers to charge a hefty, but fair, corkage charge to cover the cost of chillers, glassware and bar staff to serve your drinks. Also, consider what you will do with all of the surplus alcohol - or what you will do if you run out!
