Wedding Morning Brunch
The big day has finally arrived!
With all the excitement, anticipation, and last-minute preparations, it's easy to forget one very important thing—eating. Yet your wedding day is a long and memorable occasion, and starting it with a delicious brunch is one of the best ways to keep everyone energised and ready for the celebrations ahead.
Wedding mornings are often a whirlwind of hair appointments, makeup sessions, photography, and getting dressed. Having beautiful brunch platters on hand means the bridal party, family, and friends can enjoy relaxed, convenient food throughout the morning without interrupting the preparations.
Choose from delicate bite-sized treats perfect for the bride and bridesmaids while they're getting ready, or more substantial options to keep the groom and groomsmen satisfied before they head off for a round of golf, a morning activity, or simply to enjoy some downtime before the ceremony.
Our brunch platters can include:
Fresh seasonal fruit
Mini pastries and sweet treats
Breakfast sliders and wraps
Gourmet sandwiches and savoury bites
Freshly baked muffins and scones
Cheese, meats, and grazing selections
Juice, coffee, and brunch accompaniments
Beautifully presented and easy to serve, our brunch options allow everyone to enjoy a relaxed start to the day while making sure nobody arrives at the ceremony running on nerves alone.
After all, you'll want to remember every moment of your wedding day—and it's much easier to do that when you've had a good breakfast! ????
Planning Your Post-Wedding Brunch
Most guests will begin departing their accommodation from around 10:30 am, making it the perfect time to host a relaxed post-wedding brunch.
Set a clear timeline for your brunch—typically two to three hours is ideal. Your guests will appreciate having time to catch up, enjoy some food, and say their farewells. And let's be honest, you'll probably be eager to begin your honeymoon adventure!
To help with planning, ask guests to RSVP to the brunch before the wedding. This will give you a good indication of numbers and ensure there's plenty of food for everyone.
When choosing your menu, offer a variety of sweet, savoury, and fresh options. Not everyone feels like tackling a big bacon roll the morning after a wedding celebration, so including lighter choices such as fresh fruit, pastries, sandwiches, and finger foods will cater to all tastes and appetites.
All of our catering arrives beautifully presented and ready to serve on our signature black biodegradable trays, making set-up effortless and clean-up incredibly easy.
Most importantly, don't feel guilty when it's time to leave. You've set a timeline, your guests have enjoyed one last celebration with you, and now it's time to start the next chapter together.
After all, the honeymoon won't wait forever!
