When Pinterest hit everyone's screens, this is when planning became fun! I bet 99% of couples use Pinterest at some stage in their wedding planning, whether that be the venue style or your dessert for your wedding breakfast. We do recommend our couples find the style of food they wish, so we can create a menu together for your day.

Currently sharing boards are so popular, which will also break the ice between your guests who may not be familiar with each other.

WHAT TOP TIPS WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE ORGANISING THEIR EVENT OR WEDDING?

Top tip 1 - It's your day, do it your way!
Top tip 2 - Choose a menu that reflects you as a couple, making it that extra bit special. Your guests will love the created ideas you propose when they see their plate.
Top tip 3 - Canapes... the wait between your ceremony and wedding breakfast can be over 2 hours. You will need something to soak up the alcohol from your drink's reception. We don’t want anyone getting hangry!|
