Step
5 - Organise Food & Drink for the reception/party
If you decide to book your own caterers for the reception/party,
try to go on someone's recommendation if possible. The venue
may be able to recommend caterers, or you could ask friends
in the area. We are working on our own list of recommended
caterers for all areas of the UK (click
HERE), but it is in its infancy, so if you
have any you would like to put forward please let us know!
If you want to provide your own food, we thoroughly recommend
ordering party platters from places like Marks & Spencer
or Sainsburys - they are reasonably priced and can take
a lot of hassle out of the day! However, if you have the
time and inclination, you may like to make your own party
food - lots of ideas can be found in our Food & Drink
section (click
HERE).
If you have hired a venue they may provide a bar, or allow
you to bring your own drink, possibly charging you corkage
(such as £2 per bottle opened). When providing drinks
at home, simply make sure you have a selection to cater
for most tastes if you can. See our Food & Drink section
for ideas (click
