Camilla & Robert

Who: Camilla & Robert | When: Saturday 3rd June 2017 | Where: Private Marquee Wedding in Chiddingstone, Kent

Camilla and Robert’s stunning wedding aimed to capture every beauty of the British countryside, and it truly did! A self-sown wild flower meadow of Ox-eye daisies, cornflowers and poppies in Camilla’s parent’s garden set the scene for guests to walk through to the magnificent marquee. Guests were greeted with a selection of bite-sized canapés presented in vintage, flower-decked cages, while the tables were adorned with beautiful floral table arrangements in a palette of pastels with delicate ferns and foliage, set against a simple white backdrop.

We were tasked with creating a menu, which would celebrate every aspect of the summertime, using seasonal flavours and the most iconic ingredients. Asparagus, peas, Jersey Royals and an abundance of strawberries were the obvious choices to make starring appearances alongside the centrepieces of tender beef or delicate sea bass for our main course.

The day had style, warmth and a real sense of family – with even the couple’s dog and the bride’s horse featuring in the proceedings, and of course the perfect weather conditions helped! What a spectacular summer’s day it was.

The father of the bride contacted us afterwards with these lovely words:

‘Thank you for catering for the wedding on Saturday so brilliantly. Your serving staff were perfect with just the right level of interaction! Needless to say the food was fantastic – everyone said so, but more significantly, four friends in my age group i.e. people who must have been to a lot of weddings including some extremely sumptuous ones, all said that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. If asked, we will definitely recommend you – although if your standards are always that high, I doubt you have many gaps in your diary for years ahead.’
