I have filmed many parties and weddings, and the food can be done so differently!

As little as 10 years ago the typical wedding breakfast would be a starter, main course and dessert, usually involving prawns, chicken and chocolate cake. Not anymore! More couples are now opting for the slightly kooky! One wedding this year had sausage and mash as their main course with an ice cream van for the dessert. Fish and chips in newspaper is also becoming popular, with handmade personalised cupcakes for afters. Even parties are getting in with the theme of basic food turned posh. Back in the spring, the party I was filming was in full swing, when all of a sudden, waiting staff appeared from no where with mini hamburgers and hotdogs in buns, pots of baked beans, bowls of chips and pots of ketchup.

Last November I filmed a bonfire party, but instead of the tomato soup and burgers, the host’s served a 3 course meal, not sitting down either - cleverly they used lots of staff with huge banqueting platters to serve whilst everyone was standing outside, still able to enjoy the fireworks. Wherever you are holding your wedding or party, discuss the unusual food options with your caterers. Your guests will be talking about it for months after.
