A well fed photographer means happy clients!
I photographed a wedding at Colville Hall this year where Host Catered. The couple and guests very much enjoyed the canapes that were on offer (and with the go ahead from the couple I also got to try a few and can confirm they were amazing!)
The provided the guests and myself with an amazing meal as well. As a vendor some catering companies can be a bit stand offish and don't like to feed photographers (A well fed photographer means a lot of energy for client the rest of the evening!), but Host went above and beyond to ensure I was fed at the same time as guests so I was ready to photograph the speeches.
I would totally recommend them to any couples looking, or vendors recommending to their clients.

How would you wow the judges on Masterchef?
We meet up discuss what they want their wedding to be and then we form menu ideas. The couple then come to our restaurant for a free tasting meal. Often they bring other family members too. After the tasting meal they select the dishes they want. I then draw up a detailed word document outlining every aspect of the day from start to finish.

Beautiful decorations and lighting around the top table.

In December we catered for 385 heads at a Greek/English Wedding at the Decorium in London. It was 18 months in the planning and it went fantastically well. Please see pictures. We are currently working on a busy year for 2018 which includes many weddings at Colville Hall.
