Explore how selecting the perfect catering equipment can elevate a London wedding from ordinary to extraordinary. This article delves into the nuances of choosing equipment that not only aligns with the culinary theme but also enhances the overall ambiance and guest experience at your special event.
Whether your London wedding venue is taking care of the catering for you, or whether you are employing the services of a professional caterer in London, there’s no doubt that you will want your special day to be remembered for all the right reasons, with the quality of your food being one of the main things that people will certainly remember.
The ‘quality of food’ is all encompassing, and involves a variety of elements in order to achieve the ‘quality’ you want. Your caterers can produce the magical looking food – however, if it’s not tasty, or presented poorly, then this is going to detract from the overall effect. In order to provide catering of the highest possible standard, both you and your caterers will need to be working with the very best catering equipment, which includes everything from the back of house food prep and cooking, through to how the food is served, and even through to the quality of your table settings.
In this article, we’re looking at choosing the right catering equipment for your London wedding. Of course, the same principles do apply nationwide!
It’s not a case of ‘one style fits all’
When it comes to tableware, it’s most definitely not the case that one style fits all. There is a huge diversity of events that take place nationwide each year and, of course, these all call for different tableware. Weddings are just one sector within this wider industry, and even within the wedding sector, you will need to hire tableware for traditional weddings and for modern weddings. There is certainly something for everyone when it comes to cutlery, chinaware and glassware in today’s marketplace, and so think carefully about the look you are trying to achieve. Is this a secret ingredient? It’s more common sense, in our eyes!
Quality tableware is essential
It’s worth mentioning at this point that the quality of your table is, without doubt, essential! There is no room for error here. After all, your guests are going to be seeing and using your tableware up close and personal during your wedding event, and so your glasses have to be free of lipstick marks, your cutlery needs to be polished, and your crockery needs to be blemish-free. This is only achieved by your catering and tableware hire company adhering to the very highest standards when it comes to washing and checking the tableware in between hires, something that is at the forefront of our procedures, here at easyEventhire, for instance.
Present your food in an engaging way
People ‘eat with their eyes’ is a common saying – in other words, food can be made even more appetising if it is presented in an engaging manner. Choose plates and bowls that contrast in colour with your food creations. Choose luxury crockery that will highlight the beauty of your ingredients. Or choose crockery that is patterned, textured or coloured, which offer something different to the norm.
Make sure your caterers have the catering equipment hire they need
So far, we’ve talked about the catering equipment you need to present your food in the best way possible at your wedding, but don’t forget the commercial catering equipment hire behind the scenes such as ovens and cookers, fridges, griddles and other heavy-duty catering equipment, all of which is required by your catering teams to create their magic in the first place. Of course, many venues will already have their own equipment. However, temporary event caterers may well need you to hire catering equipment on their behalf, to ensure they have what they need for your particular wedding event.
Always consider affordable luxury
And finally, for your wedding, you should definitely consider luxury catering items. Go above and beyond to achieve the look you want – after all, this is (hopefully) a once in a lifetime occasion. The reality is that the difference between a standard plate and a luxury plate, in terms of price, is tiny. Luxury is affordable in today’s marketplace, and so spend some time looking at all the available options, rather than just deciding on the cheapest.
