Frequently Asked Questions
(6)

What is your most memorable wedding?

That's a tough one... each special occasion has it's own character, the best weddings are the ones where our couples push the boundaries of what's normal or expected. In that sense, I'm hoping that my own wedding to Helen next year will be become our most memorable!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Friendly, Foodie, Unflappable, Indefatigable, Flexible!

What about your business are you most proud of?

We've successfully taken the business into the second generation of Orde's. This really is a family business. Also having catered for the Queen on three separate occasions in the last 5 years has been a huge honour.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Make sure to communicate the same information to all your suppliers! We can do anything when we work as a team.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

1000 origami cranes made by a Bride and Groom!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I like to meet couples in person as soon as I can. It's so important to get to know the people you may be working for. Once I've had a chance to get the big picture from you I can then set about creating a personalised menu to fit your tastes. From there it's all down to good prompt communication and taking full advantage of lots of handy planning tools. We hold consultations. site visits and tastings before the big day and work tirelessly to get all the fine details arranged.
