Catering a Richmond Wedding: What the Day Actually Looks Like

Every photo in this post is from a real wedding we catered in Richmond — no stock imagery, no styled shoot. This is what our uniformed team, our buffet and our food genuinely look like on the day.

Set up before the first guest arrives

The photo above was taken before service: buffet fully laid, chafing dishes pre-heated, and the team ready. Couples meet the people who will actually serve their guests — the same team that planned the menu with them.

A menu the couple chose, printed for their guests

Every wedding menu is bespoke. The couple chooses canapés, mains, breads and accompaniments with us in advance, and we print a menu board for the day so guests can see exactly what's being served.

Canapés on arrival, curry when it counts

Service starts with a canapé round — seekh kebabs, mixed pakoras and fresh mint dip, passed while guests settle. The main buffet follows when the couple is ready, held at temperature so the last plate is as good as the first.
