What is your most memorable wedding?
There have been far too many to choose! 15 years and counting means we have been a part of every type of wedding imaginable! Or so we always think, until every year we get proven wrong by more new ideas and truly individual special days.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Modern, personal, bespoke, fresh, local
What about your business are you most proud of?
We have built a very reputable name in Norfolk and the surrounding areas. This is due to hard work and dedication from ourselves but also our staff. We have always strived to be great at what we do and we feel we achieve that, by treating every job individually and working closely with our couples on a personal level.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
It is YOUR day. Talk with your individual suppliers about how to make your day special to you.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A personal video message from Take That was pretty cool! But I’ve always been a big Gary Barlow fan!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We try to get a sense of what our couples are trying to achieve and if it works with what we offer we get together for a consultation and start to more forward from there. All the usual expectations are included in our service such as a complimentary tasting session. It’s really all about making sure our clients feel completely comfortable with us and that they are confident they are in good hands.
How would you wow the Judges on Masterchef?
We’d send Tracy our dessert maestro. Every pudding she makes is a work of art that tastes even better than it looks!
What is the most innovative dish you have created for a wedding?
Personally we feel that the food at a wedding needs to be made with great local produce and cooked beautifully. Classic, fresh and tasty dishes are absolutely the way a wedding should be. No one needs a pigeon breast that tastes like chocolate fondant really! The day is about you and not the weird and wonderful things the chefs are doing. I’m really starting to turn towards social dining and sharing platters at the table as a new favourite of mine to give that real happy, party atmosphere. It's also a good ice breaker for tables of people that don't yet know each other.
What is the food of love?
We really love doing modern takes on old classics. Modern chicken dishes are our favourite and our vegetable wellington is amazing if we do say so ourselves! Our dauphinous potatoes would also be very high on the list!
What is your secret ingredient?
Service. Great service staff is just as important as the food served and our team are amazing!
