Some weddings have a few children present and some have lots and lots of kids. One thing is for certain – every wedding has at least some children in attendance. Obviously adults can (usually) get through a whole wedding without getting bored, but what about the little ones? At every wedding we attend, there is…
Saying “I do” to the sound of a kazoo. Unusual wedding ceremony ideas.
We’re lucky in that we get invited to lots of weddings. We see them up close, behind the scenes, before and after the event and everything in between. And because we are offering a versatile catering option, we have been there for all different aspects of the day – from before guests begin to arrive…
Did you know “uke” can hire alternative wedding bands?
The music choices for the evening at weddings are often very similar, though on occasion, we do come across something out of the ordinary. At a marquee wedding in the Cotswolds a few years ago, we saw just such a thing. If you imagine ukuleles, you probably think of black-and-white footage of George Formby, quickly…
Worried about making or hearing your Best Man’s wedding speech? There is no need to be concerned.
A handful of people at every wedding are usually feeling pretty anxious all the way until mid-afternoon, or even worse, early evening. Once the bride has gone through the ceremony, she can relax and enjoy the rest of the day – for her, the work is done. But there are a few VIPs who still…
Ideas for features at your wedding : is a caricature artist a good idea?
In order to make your wedding distinctive and memorable, you’re probably going to want to choose some unique and meaningful “extras” to entertain and interest your guests. We all have a pretty good idea of the main elements to a wedding: venue, dresses, wine, photographer, etc, but often it’s the smaller, thoughtful touches which help…
Tee-pee or not tipi? What is the best outdoor wedding option?
As we all know, with weather in the UK being so very reliable (particularly during the summer months) brides can confidently opt for an outdoor wedding safe in the knowledge that the weather won’t spoil their big day. So the main question to consider is: should you choose a marquee or a ti-pi (or if…
Thinking of a winter wedding? Are you risking disaster? A wedding caterer says not.
We’ve been to weddings at every time of the year. People hire our mobile crêperie for winter, summer, spring or “fall”, because pancakes always go well at a wedding, whatever the season. And the thing we have noticed is: it doesn’t matter when you get married. Every wedding has the same “feel” – everyone is…
Review | Wedding | Blairquhan Castle, Ayrshire, Scotland
It is always a pleasure to attend weddings in Scotland. And as caterers with a mobile crêperie, we are fortunate in that we manage to attend more than most. The venue on this occasion was Blairquhan Castle. We knew it was going to be special before we even arrived – the website was magnificent and…
Wedding catering: how much is not enough?
As professional crêpe caterers, we’ve been to more weddings over the years than we can remember. We’ve seen every different style of wedding, from ultra-modern, to rustic, to vintage, to festival-style. But one thing they all have in common is catering – if you are inviting your friends and family to your big day, well,…
Do the British love pancakes? A wedding caterer offers an opinion.
A BBC website article ask the question: “Are pancakes now Britain’s favourite food?” As an expert in the field, I would have to say no. Just about everyone loves pancakes – we all remember Pancake Day as children and it was probably the only day of the year when we were allowed to eat sweet…
