Your Kent Wedding - March/April 2025 (Issue 119)

FIRST BITE Love at Planning your big day is fun and exciting, and that’s exactly what your catering and beverage choices should be. Editor Danielle has Kent couples covered! Hello, my name’s Danielle and I’m addicted to food, the good, the bad, and just the downright dirty. From a healthy quinoa rainbow salad with grilled salmon, to a full-works burger with cheese-ladened fries followed by millionaires’ cheesecake – there’s nothing I don’t eat! This makes attending a wedding even more exciting for me, because one of the great things about weddings is the food (of course!). “One my fav wedding breakfasts was at a dear friend’s wedding where she served up a bougie barbecue; grilled meats and halloumi kebabs were delivered to tables which were bursting with baby potatoes, salad, buns, and picky bits – divine! “For my own wedding, my husband and I made our decision based on our favourite food, a roast dinner with all the trimmings for main and cheesecake for dessert – not forgetting canapés of honey and mustard sausages, mini toad in the hole and arancini balls! “Over the next couple of pages, we’re going to inspire you for your own big day showing you some local companies offering everything from sitdown dinners to ice cream. However, if you don’t fancy any of those, that’s ok, you can go bespoke and you do you, it’s your day after all!” THE INDIAN DISH Meet Julia… Kent-based award-winning Indian caterers The Indian Dish are your premier choice for authentic Indian wedding catering.
