Your Yorkshire Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 66)

Love at first bite Meet the region’s wedding caterers Admit it, whose mind immediately leaps to food whenever a wedding invitation arrives in the post? Or is that just us? For many of us, when we’re not eating, we’re thinking about it! So, it’s reasonable to assume that your wedding breakfast will be one of the most highly anticipated elements of your day – no pressure. What you might not have considered though is that it’s another medium through which you can express your personalities, thus making your big day uniquely you. The food should match your vibe, from formal, seated, three-course affairs, to chilled grazing spreads. But not only the way you eat, what you eat can speak volumes about the two of you. Perhaps you met at a pub for your first date: opt for a menu of pub grub classics. Maybe you got engaged in a far-flung exotic location: give your menu an international twist. The options are endless and if you pick the correct caterer, they’ll creatively work with you to come up with your dream menu, sure to keep guests satisfied and remembering your day for all the right reasons. So, read on as we introduce you to some local folk who can help...
