Culinary entertainment for your wedding

The choice of caterer is usually accompanied by a tasting of your reception menu. A precious time where you will design with your caterer the unique menu of your wedding. From the cocktail, through the dinner and then the evening, each moment of your reception will be a taste journey.

No more endless 7-course menus, The trend is towards long cocktails, short dinners followed by a crazy evening on the dancefloor.. Some even prefer a buffet dinner and themed bars to the traditional sit-down dinner. When it comes to gastronomy, brides and grooms are increasingly daring to break the traditional wedding codes by bringing a breath of modernity and originality. With a view to meeting the desires of their clients at heart, wedding caterers have adapted their menu to these new expectations.

How to stand out and surprise your guests? Decoding the major trends of this season in terms ofwedding culinary entertainment.
