Harriet and Marks wedding was a lovely occasion with the service and reception held in a marquee in their own back garden. They wanted a family style event with sharing platters, each table had their own BBQ brisket with carving knives so they could include their own level of theatre to their day.
We suggested themed chefs hat and aprons, and these completed the look for the ‘lucky’ guest on each table who had the task of carving for their table.
We also supplied our bar staff to serve their arrival drinks, toast drink and staff their own bar for the day and late into the evening
