1. Cheese Table

Always a hit at weddings, either having a large cheese and crackers selection in it’s own area, or even having cheese wheels instead of a cake is a fab idea for keeping your guests full all night long.

7. Oyster Bar

If you want to go all out and/or your wedding is by the sea, then this is definitely a good way to impress your guests! Just don’t forget the hot sauce and lime to go with them.

8. Hot chocolate station

Yes we know, technically a wedding drink idea, but we couldn’t miss it off! A hot chocolate station is perfect for a winter wedding in particular and can be made more exciting with a selection of toppings like the below.

9. Macarons

Want a fancy food option? Then Macarons are a great way to add a bit of class to your big day.

10. Ice cream bar

Having a summer wedding? Then what better way to cool down your guests than with an ice cream bar, or if you can, an ice cream van.
