Exploring Creative and Delicious Menu Options for Your Wedding DayIdeas for your wedding menu that aren’t overdone

Your wedding day is a celebration of love and joy, and one of the most memorable parts of the day is the food. While traditional options like baked chicken, fish, or beef are always popular, why not consider something a little more unique and exciting for your big day? As a food and beverage supervisor at one of the Gold Coast’s leading wedding venues, I’ve seen it all and have a few suggestions for you.

Whether you’re looking to serve creative canapés during cocktail hour, or surprising main courses, there are plenty of options to choose from. In this blog, I’ll share my favorite up-and-coming food choices for your wedding, along with some tips for making the most of your menu.

Canapés:

Stick Bites – Whether it’s pink peppercorn pastrami or compressed watermelon, anything on a stick is sure to be a hit with your guests. These bite-sized nibbles are easy to eat and won’t require guests to hold a plate and napkin, making it easier for them to socialize.

Miniature Bites – Mushroom arancini and pork croquettes are always crowd-pleasers, while chicken karaage sliders and poached prawn rolls offer a lighter option. Bite-sized options like these are a great choice for guests who may not typically enjoy seafood.

Dressed Up Comfort Food – Comfort food has been a staple at weddings for years, but now it’s all about the presentation. Try serving fries wrapped in monogrammed paper with truffle mayo, or another favorite dish given a stylish twist.

Self-Serve Stations – Depending on the size of your party and budget, self-serve stations are becoming increasingly popular. Consider an oyster bar, taco station, dumpling bar, or paella station for a fun and delicious option during cocktail hour.

Main Courses:

While chicken, beef, and fish are always safe options, there are plenty of unique and exciting dishes to choose from for your main course. Some of our recent crowd-pleasers include:

  • Whole roasted field mushrooms
  • Crispy pork belly
  • Game farm venison leg
  • Confit lamb shoulder

Charcuterie Tables – A charcuterie table is a great option for a relaxed reception, and encourages mingling among your guests. Guests can enjoy a variety of meats, cheeses, fruits, and crackers, and mix and match to their hearts’ content.

Gourmet Pizzas – Pizza is a versatile option that can cater to almost every dietary need, and the variety of toppings available means there’s something for everyone.

Sushi Platters – Sushi is another great option for a variety of guests, especially if you have a lot of vegan or vegetarian guests.

In conclusion, it’s important to remember that your wedding day is about you and your partner, and the food is just one part of the celebration. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s a reflection of your tastes and personalities. And don’t forget, there’s always cake!
