HOW TO ‘CATER’ FOR YOUR GUESTS AT YOUR DESTINATION WEDDING



You have chosen your venue, picked your date, are in the processing of sorting out your styling but then comes the next big decision, the menu.


Whether you are having a small intimate wedding or a large wedding, you are bound to have guests who you know are going to be picky with the food, so how do you manage this.  The simple answer is you don’t have to, we will advise and manage it all for you. 




Around 90% of our clients opt to have a thai menu.  Well you are getting married in Thailand so why not.  The tricky question is how do you choose dishes to accommodate everyone?  Perhaps you like spicy food or want to be adventurous but deep down you know your guests may not feel the same.  Its difficult to find that balance.

Well you have nothing to worry about, I can assure you.  Our menu from our chef team, is widely varied with options for canapes, salads, BBQ, live cooking stations and with a wide range of spice.  Even the most spicy of dishes can be made mild and vice versa and we can add the ‘nam jim’ sauces on the side to allow your guests to choose how hot they would like their food.  


Canapes for Weddings

We serve via two options, family style which is traditional in Thailand, or buffet.  The preferred option is Family style as each course is served individually giving you that al la carte feel but all on sharing plates which feels like a buffet without leaving your seat.  Each guest can then choose as much or as little as they like and this also has a secondary bonus to it.  It gives those guests sat with people they don’t know, an ice breaker as they discuss and try each dish.

What do you do though when you have those guests that really will not break from western food.  That’s easy, our chef team can also prepare western food for those guests or perhaps add in a couple of options for each table to satisfy the most difficult of palates. 





Finally what do you do when your guests confirm they are coming but they are on a gluten free diet, vegan, allergic to peanuts.  We have seen so many different dietary requests, it common for us to manage this at 80% of our weddings.  All we ask is let us know in advance.  We will add options for these guests and even prepare food separately for any special requests.  We will then brief our F&B team for where these guests will be seated to ensure these guests receive the correct menu choices.  If you are concerned how this will affect the canapé pass around service, do not be concerned, we will prepare special plates for them and just ask you to identify them to us prior to the start of the day. 






If you have little ones and want something a little low key, we can provide freshly made baby food or a childrens menu to be served with their parents either at the same time or earlier.  If the parents want to have some free time, we can provide nannies to assist and even organize a fun children’s table to keep all the children together freeing up the parents to enjoy themselves.

If you want to do something a little different, we can provide all live cooking stations to give that thai market feel and you can walk from station to station watching the food being prepared and cooked to order or even a full BBQ with a whole roasted pig and fresh seafood.  The options are endless.

  If the menu feels overwhelming and you are not sure of what to choose, we can provide sample menus and ideas of what will blend well together based on your ideas.  If there is something you want and it isn’t on the menu, do not be afraid to ask, we will do everything we can to accommodate your requirements, even those late night snacks.
