Seated Dining with Canapés to Begin 

A wedding reception with a sit-down meal creates a more formal atmosphere and works well to break up a lot of speeches. After the ceremony, your guests sit back and relax, play lawn games, sip on cocktails and enjoy some light canapés. Later on everyone makes their way to their table, a few speeches are had and then the main course is served. The main course is served alternately with the option of A La Carte ($8pp). Sides are served in the middle of the table. After the main course is cleared a few more speeches and then the cutting of the wedding cake. Then, a dessert table or "roaming desserts" is served, which allows the celebration to easily flow from the cutting of the cake to dancing. Choose your Dish Selections to complete this menu.
 

A La Carte Option

If you would like a choice on the night between dishes, rather than being served alternately there is an $8 per course surcharge. This gives the guests a choice between 3 x meat/seafood dishes and 1 vegetarian option. The time between the order being taken and the first course being served is approximately 30 minutes depending on numbers. We suggest some speeches at this time.

Table Banquet with Canapés to Begin

Table Banquet dinners at a wedding reception are great for creating a relaxed atmosphere which is friendly, vocal and warm. This style of dining experience encourages guests to talk more to each other and is great for families and friends who are close or outgoing in nature. After the ceremony, your guests sit back and relax, play lawn games, sip on cocktails and enjoy some light canapés. Later on, everyone makes their way to their table, a few speeches are made and then the main course is served on platters so that guests can help themselves. This creates a beautiful, communal feast style celebration. Choose your Dish Selections to complete this menu.
 

Canapés, Gourmet Tastes & Standing Menus

This is a fantastic opion to create a fun atmosphere at your wedding. It works well with cocktails being sipped in a stylish environment (the addition of cocktail furniture helps add this element). You can be assured that your guests will be left fully satisfied from the delicious assortment of canapés served throughout the reception. Wait staff are constantly roaming, offering tastes from the kitchen and cocktails from the bar. The menu is designed to begin with lighter style canapés and then move into gourmet tastes when the bride and groom return from having their photos taken. Standing meals (fork food, noodle boxes and plates) are served just before and after speeches. We feel that a canapé reception works best when the speeches are held together and there is a strong focus on music/photo booth to create a funky cohesive vibe. A dessert table/lolly bar allows people to finish on a sweet note.

Tasting Menu

What better way to celebrate your wedding than having a Tasting Dinner. Based on Fig Tree's Tasting Menu we have designed something very special to completely spoil your guests. Courses are slightly smaller than entree size. This is based on Fig Tree's Tasting Menu and is perfect for wine matching and smaller, more intimate weddings. Choose your Dish Selections to complete this menu.

Gourmet BBQ Menu 

What better way to enjoy the company of friends and family than around a BBQ and have someone else do all the work? This style of wedding menu suits a relaxed, informal style of wedding. Canapés are served whilst guests sip on cocktails and an acoustic guitarist is strumming in the background. The BBQ provides a feature, with some guests grabbing skewered prawns straight from the BBQ. Later on in the day or evening the main meals are presented on large platters so that guests can help themselves. Bamboo plates and cutlery is laid out on bowls of salad and sides are arranged. The BBQ feasting begins.

We suggest that there is ample seating so guests can sit and enjoy their meals. Choose your Dish Selections to complete this menu.

Brunch Menu

Dessert Table

A new way of enjoying your wedding cake without having to stay seated at your table. This exciting idea allows the celebration to flow seamlessly from the cutting of the cake to dancing. A dessert table is created with the wedding cake, forming on part of the table. Other dessert canapés are plated, such as macarooms and cake pops, along with a variety of vases filled with mixed lollies and chocolate.
 

Late Night Feast

Post dancing and after enjoying a few sweet treats, come 10 o'clock why not treat your guests to a late night feast. Either served on a table for guests to help themselves, or served roaming like canapés, this is the perfect way to finish the night off. This is a great idea especially if an after party is planned, or the reception was a luncheon, or the venue doesn't close until later (such as at Byron Surf Club).

Children's Meals

The children's meal is just as important as what the adults eat, and keeping the children happy and well fed adds to the parent's enjoyment of the evening. Children usually enjoy the variety of canapés before the meal with at least a few satisfying their tastesuds. For dinner we usually serve a simplified version of what the other guests are eating, but it's just as easy to create their favourite dish - Spaghetti Bolognese or Fish n Chips. For dessert, what pleases a child more than ice cream with a slice of wedding cake & some strawberries? Children meals are $20 per childA note on supplying meals to other service providers..
