Real Wedding – Louise and Tom Wedding Catering Rutland
This windy, stormy weather has us mourning for the summer and all the gorgeous weddings we’ve been part of this year. Like Louise and Tom who had a stunning wedding at Whitwell Point, Rutland Water. We were super excited to be asked to provide their wedding catering Rutland Water is the ultimate backdrop for an awesome wedding day.
And awesome it was! The sun was shining, cocktails flowing and a Saxophone playing as the couple arrived on the banks of Rutland Water by boat. There were drums, dogs, a converted caravan bar and banging 90’s garage music (complete with violin – epic!).
Louise and Tom wanted a relaxed sharing style menu to suit their Sami Tipi sailcloth wedding. We had oodles of ideas when we met at Thomas Towers for canapes and a chin wag. After some serious brainstorming, we settled on BBQ sharing platters, perfect for the fun and chilled vibe they were looking for.
Canapes included mini chicken and leek pies and salt and pepper calamari which went down a treat in the sunshine, washed down with a couple of cocktails. The main course was a BBQ feast featuring beef brisket, South Carolina chicken tenders and garlic prawns all served with colourful veggies and dirty rice. Dessert was simple and delicious – Chocolate Brownie with ice cream and caramel sauce.
