✨ 🥘 The bonus of providing a GF/DF Menu to your guests 🥘 ✨

〰️ More often than not, some of your guests will either have a dietary requirement or a food allergy that you'll want to accommodate for.

〰️ The most common dietary requirements we get are gluten free & dairy free. It's very important for us, as your caterer, to ensure that not only you as the bride or groom have your dietary needs met but also that your wonderful guests have their needs met as well! The worst thing that your guests could experience at your wedding is not getting enough food to eat because they have a dietary restriction that wasn't accommodated for correctly. The day can be very long, there are lots of yummy beverages being enjoyed, so it's important to ensure that ALL of your guests are getting a really good feed throughout your celebration!!

〰️ Try incorporating some GF/DF options into, at least, half of your menu. The majority of food now a days can be made gluten free or dairy free and is SO incredibly delicious, no one even knows the difference!

〰️ We're so lucky at Aspiring Catering to have some outstanding chefs who want to take care of every allergy and dietary requirement you may have and still create something incredibly delicious for you; Our Head Chef Lucy will work directly with you to create your personalised menu and ensure you are happy with your choices. Check out the link in our bio and see our current Menu options which have tons of GF/DF and vegetarian options already incorporated.

✨ A moment to yourselves... // Your wedding day

✨ A moment to yourselves... // Your wedding day will be one of the most memorable days of your life; it will probably also be one of the most exciting & full-on days of your life, so it's important that in the midst of all the excitement and celebrations and hugs and dancing, that you step away and take a moment together for yourselves. Sit in stillness with each other or go outside into the peace and quiet and embrace all the love you’ve received on your special day.

〰️ Tip: Ask your caterer to prepare a little picnic basket with some nibbles & bubbles for you to sneak away with to enjoy on your own. You'll appreciate this moment of calm together and it will help you gather all your thoughts from the day so far, because you don't want to forget a single thing do you? 🥂💖

🎁 💌 Gifts & Cards // Kylie & Tim had such a cool idea to have their guests leave their cards pinned up on a framed board 💕✨

〰️ When you send out your wedding invitations or create your wedding website, it's good to let your guests know if you'll be accepting any gifts or cards at your wedding.

〰️ If you are accepting gifts, make sure you allocate a gifts table for your guests to place your gifts at when they first arrive at the venue. Depending on how many guests you have attending, make sure the gifts table is large enough and easy for them to find. You don't want your guests getting distracted and leaving the gift in a random corner of the venue that may be forgotten about after a couple celebratory glasses of bubbles. 🥂

〰️ The same goes for cards; ensure you have a safe and easy place for your guests to leave your wedding cards. They won't want to forget to give the card to you so they'll be looking to leave it somewhere safe as soon as they arrive to the venue.

〰️ No matter if you have a gifts table or a card box, make sure you allocate someone you trust to place your gifts & cards in a safe place before it gets late in the evening. Ask a close friend or family member to place these items into your car just after dinner service. This will give you piece of mind before the real party starts 💃 🍸 that all those valuables are safe and ready for transport at the end of the night. Now all you have to do is dance the night away and celebrate the fact that you're married!! Whoop Whoop!!

💦 Staying hydrated on your wedding day // It's

💦 Staying hydrated on your wedding day // It's really important for you and your guests to stay hydrated throughout your wedding day, especially if your wedding is in the heat of summer. Most timelines run for 8 hrs. and if you're outside for half of that you're going to need something to keep you refreshed.

〰️ The quickest & easiest way for your guests to grab a non-alcoholic beverage is to always have water glasses and a full water dispenser available at the corner of your bar. This way, guests can grab a quick glass whenever needed and having the dispenser at the corner of the bar helps to reduce any lines from forming, because nobody wants that!!

〰️ It's also nice to give your guests some options. Ice water is needed, but an Elderflower Spritzer or an Old Fashioned Lemonade might be preferred 😏. Make sure to ask your caterer's what mocktails they may be able to provide to spice things up! 🍹

✨ SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT // Lizzie + Johnny got married on a lovely spring day on the 27th November 2020 at @ripponhall surrounded by the most amazing group of family & friends. Our team had so much fun helping these two make their wedding vision come true and couldn't thank them enough for all the kindness and love they shared with our team along the journey. We wish them all the happiness in the world. xx Check out Lizzie & Johnny's review below ⬇️
.
"It has taken me just over 3months to find the words to say how wonderful the team at Aspiring Catering were for our wedding at Rippon Hall. They were highly professional, kind and fun throughout our journey from the planning to the actual day. From a brides perspective, you made my job so easy. Every question or change was not a bother. I felt supported, especially in 2020! Feedback from our guests has been epic. I've been so proud. We have had endless comments on the supreme quality of the food and the smooth running of the day. Thank you Lucy, Sarah and the team for making our day possible. It was so memorable and special. Legends!!" - Lizzie & Johnny

✨SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT // Caroline & Dave had their May wedding at @criffelwoolshed. The autumn colours and moody clouds made for some stunning photos taken by the incredibly talented @charlottekiriphotography. Florals and styling was handled by @studio24floralstylist and the perfect single tier wedding cake was made by @whiterabbitcakesnz. Caroline & Dave’s guests enjoyed an afternoon by the fireplace and a cozy warm dinner inside the Criffel woolshed. We LOVE a good autumn/winter wedding, and this one was definitely a day to remember. 💕

🌲🍂✨All in the details // There are so many

🌲🍂✨All in the details // There are so many amazing hanging roof installations we see each year, but this one was one of our absolute favourites. 🧡 The smell alone was magic. The pine branches hanging from the woolshed rafters made it feel like you were in a woodland forest. And as the sun set lower and lower, the festoon lights that were intermixed throughout the installation brought everything together with the perfect evening glow. // ✅TIP: When you’re trying to decide on table decor for your wedding or event, think about what menu style you have chosen. If you have chosen a plated meal, floral decor and candles down the centre of the tables would be a beautiful option. BUT, if your menu style is a table banquet/shared platter meal, it may be best to have that decor hanging above you. ✨😌 Plus, the food should be beautiful enough to become the main centre pieces, right!!?💕
