They live for a good party and through their individual inspirations and joint love of art, fashion and music, they combine to construct thought provoking and fun wedding events that speak to all five senses.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wedding Menu Tips<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Food has long been intertwined with some of the happiest moments in our lives. Those planning a wedding will know it\u2019s an integral part of the big day and creating a unique menu that showcases both partner\u2019s personalities is one of the greatest way to give back to guests and ensure a memorable day. Your wedding menu will not only fuel the wedding party (quite literally), but will also add personality and style to the soiree.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Co-Founder and Executive Chef Nicole Richardson has put together her top tips for creating the perfect wedding menu:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buffet or BBQ?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whether you decide to celebrate with a sit-down meal, a buffet, cocktail party or BBQ style event; choosing a wedding meal style is the first important decision you\u2019ll make and all of your food and drink choices will cascade naturally from it. Other factors to consider when selecting a wedding menu style are the group size and the cost, as both will impact your final decision.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Flavours &amp; Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Work with your chosen wedding caterer to find out what ingredients are in season in the run up to your big day, choosing seasonal ingredients will ensure your wedding food is as fresh as possible. Attend tastings prior to the big day and ensure your menu selections are exactly how you envisaged.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tips For Planning The Perfect Wedding Menu\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-127874\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"khp-print_04-1201x801\" width=\"739\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Tips For Planning The Perfect Wedding Menu\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-127874\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"khp-print_04-1201x801\" width=\"739\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_04-1201x801.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px\" \/><\/noscript><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make It Your Own<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Often couples can overlook the personal side of wedding menu planning but sharing the story of your relationship through dishes inspired by special moments, memories or things you love to do together can add a thoughtful element to the day. Is there a food that you both love, or maybe a first date cooking experience that went terribly wrong but you both still ate? If so, incorporate it tastefully into your menu for guests to enjoy too \u2013 it\u2019s a great talking point!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tips For Planning The Perfect Wedding Menu\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-127875\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-1024x774.jpg\" alt=\"khp-print_07-1201x908\" width=\"733\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-1024x774.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-500x378.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-696x526.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-1068x807.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-556x420.jpg 556w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-1111x840.jpg 1111w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Tips For Planning The Perfect Wedding Menu\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-127875\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-1024x774.jpg\" alt=\"khp-print_07-1201x908\" width=\"733\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-1024x774.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-500x378.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-696x526.jpg 696w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-1068x807.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-556x420.jpg 556w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908-1111x840.jpg 1111w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/KHP-PRINT_07-1201x908.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/noscript><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Feast For The Senses<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s well known that we eat with our eyes long before the food touches our lips, and there is no better way to amplify your wedding food choices than with garnishes and finishing touches designed to wow. It\u2019s important to work with a caterer who cares as much about presentation as they do about tastes.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Allergies &amp; Intolerances<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unless you know everyone&#8217;s dietary requirements and there is nothing too complicated, go with the option of sharing platters or a buffet to keep everyone happy. Try keeping spicy food and condiments separate so that guests can add as much or as little as they like. Do not pick boring vegetarian dishes as there will most likely be at least one vegetarian guest and they will have had endless goat cheese tarts! Ensure your caterer has an array of great vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options so no one feels left out.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Staffing<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you\u2019ve decided on the menu style and the dish types to serve on your special day, it\u2019s important to ensure that you are working with a trusted team to deliver your dream wedding party. At Hunter VIII Hunter we never use agency staff, working with only the best and most trusted individuals. We hand-pick each member of the team to fit the exact brief and believe that through treating our staff well we can properly support our wider team and provide clients with the best experience possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>For more details on wedding menus visit\u00a0hunter8hunter.london<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter VIII Hunter caters for every culinary requirement, from the canap\u00e9 reception to the wedding breakfast and evening buffet.
