Your Midlands Wedding - April/May 2025 (Issue 97)

IS FOR ICE CREAM Van, bike or trike: ice cream can be served at your wedding in a variety of quirky ways and will be most welcome on a hot day. K IS FOR KNOWLEDGE When choosing the best suppliers for your special day, it’s essential to conduct thorough research after you’ve established your budget. Look for local businesses and check out their websites and social media profiles, where you can find reviews from other couples who have recently tied the knot. IS FOR JARS OF SWEETS Make your wedding even more enjoyable with a delightful sweet cart! It’s a fantastic treat for those who love desserts and will keep the snacks flowing during the reception. This station is especially great if you have kids attending the celebration! IS FOR MOBILE BAR The options for weddings are virtually limitless, with exciting and creative ideas constantly emerging. We really enjoy bars that offer unique drinks for your celebration after the vows. IS FOR NO WASTAGE Food waste at weddings is a concern, but Food Champs Catering, led by chef and cofounder Mihaly Bencsik, has it covered.

Choosing locally sourced food for your wedding enhances the atmosphere, supports the community, guarantees quality, and promotes sustainability by minimising transportation distances. IS FOR QUICHE Not everyone has the same taste in food, so if you’re concerned that your guests might not enjoy the menu, consider going for a contemporary buffet. This way, everyone can choose their favourite dishes! Imagine having street food stations, tapas, sausage sandwiches, and mini sliders available for everyone to enjoy. IS FOR PIZZA Everyone, from kids to adults, will enjoy seeing their meals being made right in front of them. A pizza truck is an excellent choice for evening gatherings, ensuring that guests stay satisfied. And really, who can resist pizza? IS FOR LATE The wedding breakfast might be served later in the day and to keep your guests energised, it’s a great idea to have a variety of tasty canapés available during the drinks reception. A mix of five to six options works well, and we think mini fish ‘n’ chip cones or cosy bite-sized pies would be perfect for a winter celebration.
