5 Top Tips For the Perfect Wedding Reception Dinner

A wedding reception dinner is the perfect time for you to take a little pause from the day’s whirlwind of events (as wonderful as it will be, you’ll most likely need a sit down and a rest at this point!). Plus, this is the time in the reception that you get to spend sitting and chatting with your nearest and dearest, making it a really special part of the day.

We have extensive experience providing delicious, luxurious catering for weddings. So, for those of you who are planning a seated dinner at your wedding reception, we wanted to share the fantastic tips and tricks that we’ve learnt with you. Have a read of this week’s blog post for our top 5 tips to make sure that your wedding reception dinner goes off absolutely perfectly.

• Name cards

It’s a little detail, but sometimes it’s the small things that make the day extra special. Providing personalized name cards to mark everyone’s seats makes the dinner personal and makes all of the guests feel a part of your day.

• Table decorations

This is a great way to tie in the dinner with the rest of the day. Use beautiful, subtle table decorations - these could involve everything from flowers and foliage, to modern candles and miniature feature pieces - that tie in to the theme of your decor’s venue.

• Circular tables

Rather than long, thin rectangular tables (where the guests would only be able to speak to three or four other people for the whole duration of the meal), small circular tables provide a friendly, intimate space where guests can mingle and chat as a group. This way, everyone will feel welcome and involved in the conversation.

• Live music

This creates an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and sociable, providing a fantastic backdrop to your dinner. Live music is also a great way to help make everyone feel comfortable if there’s any gaps in conversation.
