When it comes to your wedding, the menu is almost as important as the vows! At Inn at Laurel Point, we’re seeing some mouthwatering trends that will make your big day as delicious as it is memorable. From retro desserts to elegant dinners, let’s dig into the latest food trends that are taking weddings by storm.

A Feast to Remember

Waiter Served Dinners: Classic, elegant, and always a crowd-pleaser, waiter served dinners are making a strong comeback. Couples are opting for full, sit-down meals that allow guests to enjoy every bite in a relaxed, sophisticated setting.

Waiter Served Wine: Pairing a fine wine with dinner elevates the entire experience. It’s all about complementing those hearty dishes like beef tenderloin or steelhead trout with the perfect pour.

Vegan and Gluten-Free Options: Inclusivity is key! Couples are making sure everyone feels catered to with delicious vegan and gluten-free dishes that don’t skimp on flavour.

Decadent Desserts

Heart-Shaped Wedding Cakes: Romance is in the air – and on your plate! Heart-shaped wedding cakes are back, bringing a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to dessert tables.

Vintage Vibes: Channel the ’80s with frilly, over-the-top cakes adorned with “Just Married” signs. These vintage confections are perfect for couples looking to add a fun, throwback touch to their wedding.

Pizza for Late-Night Cravings: After a night of dancing, nothing hits the spot like a late-night snack, and a freshly baked in-house pizza is the undisputed champion. It’s the perfect way to keep the party going and satisfy those midnight cravings.

Bubbly & Bright

Ticketed Bars: Want to offer your guests a curated selection of drinks without breaking the bank? Ticketed bars are a very popular choice right now, allowing couples to manage costs while still providing a premium experience. Plus, it adds a fun, exclusive vibe to the festivities.

 

Champagne Walls: Who can resist a bubbly display? Champagne walls are not only a fun focal point but also a fabulous way to welcome your guests in style.

Citrus Sips: Fresh, citrus-infused beverages are the perfect way to add a splash of brightness to your cocktail hour, especially as custom cocktails start to fade out of favour. You can also indulge in some zero-proof cocktails – just as fun and tasty without the risk of a hangover for your honeymoon 😉
