3 Unexpected Wedding Food Ideas

Of course, when you are planning your wedding you want it to be as unique as possible. We find our couples are always looking for ways to inject their personality into their special day, provide moments that will surprise their guests and most importantly make their wedding day feel like the couple they are. Some couples do this with styles such as the florals you choose or the bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen suits. But, have you thought about surprising your guests with out-of-this-world food ideas? Here are 3 wedding food ideas that will leave your guests gob-smacked.

1. OUR DELECTABLE DONUT WALL

Our donut wall looks a real treat and adds a new dimension and feature to your styling. Your guests will be impressed when they see the selection of delicious donuts hanging on the timber board. You can also add the donut wall to your wedding reception menu as a sweet snack after main is served. After the formalities are over, the donut wall is a great option where your guests can simply help themselves in between dancing and mingling. It’s the perfect snack to satisfy your guest’s sweet tooth without cutting into the all-important dancing time.

Our live cooking menu creates a collaborative atmosphere, will satisfy the ‘ultimate foodie’ and gets your guests mixing and mingling in no time. Taking pride of place on our rolling green lawns in front of Gabbinbar Homestead, our live cooking stations certainly bring the wow factor with an impressive white umbrella combined with a white picket fence. We set the scene, so guests can engage with our chef, learn more about the food which is being prepared and most importantly, taste flavours from around the world.
