Do I Need Canapés at My Wedding?
It’s a question we get asked a lot when couples are planning their wedding food:
The short answer is no, they’re not essential. But they can be a great way to start your wedding food experience.
What are canapés for?
Canapés are usually served during the drinks reception, between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast. Guests are chatting, grabbing a drink and enjoying the venue while you’re off having photos taken. Depending on your schedule, it can be an hour or two before the main meal, so a few small bites go a long way in keeping everyone happy.
A chance to get creative
Canapés are also where you can have a bit of fun with the menu. Alongside your main meal, they’re a chance to serve small bites packed with flavour. Canapés can be a mix of meat, fish and vegetarian options, which makes them a great way to offer guests a variety of flavours during the drinks reception.
Canapés aren’t a must-have, but they’re a brilliant way to kick off the food at your wedding, keep guests happy during the drinks reception, and add another memorable part to the day.
