Welcome dinner
The first night sets the tone. A relaxed format works best: a barbecue, a fire-cooked feast or a long family-style table, so guests can meet each other after travelling.
Rehearsal dinner
Often for close family and the wedding party. A seated tasting menu for a smaller group is a lovely contrast to the big day.
The wedding
Canapés, dinner, dessert and late-night food, with a drinks programme designed around the menu.
Day-after brunch
A late, generous brunch with eggs, pastries, fresh fruit and something to cure the night before. It gives everyone one last moment together.
Why one chef for everything
Menus do not repeat, sourcing is planned once, dietary needs are tracked across every meal, and you deal with one person all weekend.
