What's more magical than dining under the open sky? Alfresco dining is a summer wedding staple, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors while indulging in delicious cuisine and plenty of celebration. Picture long tables with fresh florals, twinkling lights overhead and the gentle summer breeze as you share your first meal as a married couple. It’s intimate, relaxed and creates a dreamy atmosphere that’s hard to beat. Plus, the natural light is a photographer’s dream - your wedding photos will be glowing just like the day itself!

Nothing says "cheers" like a signature cocktail, especially when it’s crafted to reflect your love story or the season. Enter the mobile bubbly or cocktail bar – a fun and trendy way to offer your guests something unique. Whether it’s a refreshing gin cocktail infused with summer fruits or a glass of sparkling bubbly served from a stylish mobile bar, these drinks bring flair and personality to your reception. Not only will they impress your guests, but they also offer a fantastic photo op! Love this idea, meet POP! Mobile Bar HERE.
Take your canapé hour to the next level with summer-inspired harvest spreads. Think beautifully laid-out grazing tables brimming with fresh fruits, artisanal cheeses, cured meats and seasonal bites that reflect the vibrant colours and flavours of summer. Not only are these spreads incredibly delicious, but they also double as stunning decor that guests will flock to. A harvest spread is a visual feast as much as it is a culinary one!

Transform your outdoor space into an oasis with wooden cabanas, lounge pockets and draped areas for shade. Not only do these spaces provide much-needed relief from the sun, but they also offer a cozy place for guests to relax and mingle. Imagine lounging in chic furniture, surrounded by flowing drapery and lush greenery – it’s like bringing the comfort of indoors to the outdoors. These shaded spots are perfect for cocktail hour, post-dinner lounging, or simply giving guests a moment to recharge!
