Your Yorkshire Wedding - March/April 2021 (Issue 47)

TO DINE FOR Q We’re having a relaxed marquee wedding. What catering should we choose to suit this? What better way to enjoy your wedding breakfast than with a sharing picnic in the comfort of your marquee? It’s the ideal catering to start conversations and get your guests mingling over delicious sharing food. Guests can delve into their beautiful wicker picnic baskets to find a whole range of treats, including the following: ❤ Homemade scotch eggs, sausage rolls and pork pies ❤ Goat’s cheese and caramelised onion quiche ❤ Dressed salmon platter ❤ Selection of sandwiches ❤ Homemade salad jars to shake up with a dressing ❤ Cakes, scones and other treats Thomas Jones | PTJ Catering www.ptjcatering.co.uk THE MUSIC OF LOVE Q How do we achieve a classic feel for our music in the day, but still get the party started in the evening? This really depends on your tastes as a couple, but try to balance this with what your guests will enjoy. For instance, you might be into heavy metal but this might not get all your loved ones on the dancefloor! Try to strike a happy compromise with what everyone will enjoy. During the day, it’s wise to book a performer that isn’t too obtrusive so that guests can chat and mingle. Consider a violinist or acoustic guitar – something light but upbeat. In contrast, for the evening you’ll likely want to go for a four-piece live band or an entertaining DJ. I offer a variety of options and also work alongside many other talented musicians from a variety of backgrounds to create the perfect atmosphere.
