An Essex Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 112)

FOOD FOR THOUGHT So much inspiration to cater your big day. We explore canapé ideas, fine dining options and informal feasts that are sure to please guests! Red carpet ready! I think canapés are a must at a wedding, often you have ceremony over or around lunch time so canapés will keep your guests going for the drink’s reception. Four canapés per person work really well, it’s a lovely opportunity here to bring in touches from your favourite places or your heritage. Born in Greece? You could add in stuffed vine leaves... Got engaged in India? You could have some pakora or samosas to suit you. Lizzie Packenham, Head of Weddings and Events St Osyth Priory Canapes are the perfect way to set the tone for the rest of the wedding. They need to not only look delicious but also taste delicious. Our most popular canapés for 2023 have been our controversial cheese and marmite choux buns, Cajun king prawns with avocado puree and spiced vegan sausage rolls. Beverley Matthews Perfect Day Caterers The best things come in small packages. A change in trend saw these delights become less en-vogue, yet now there’s a resurgence in this missed staple of the wedding scene. Traditional and classic, fun and colourful, it can also give your guests a taste (literally) for the tone of things to come. Weddings can also be a long affair, and by this stage in the day, guests are indulging in a few glasses and something to help line the stomach is most welcome.
