Our experience with Bouquet Garni...
Our experience with Bouquet Garni and with Jon Marriot who was our main contact was amazing from start to finish. Very customer friendly and willing to cater for our wants and needs but at the same time able to offer advise and suggestions where needed. Very friendly, helpful and seemed to genuinely have our best interests at heart. I would and will recommend Bouquet Garni to others in the future.

We were very happy with the service that they provided, the whole process from enquiring, to booking, to tasting, to the event itself was handled very professionally and put us at ease knowing that the food was taken care of.

We were so happy we chose Bouquet Garni to cater for our wedding, we were able to relax knowing that everything was taken care of and had a truly amazing day.

From meeting at the wedding fair to our initial meeting, subsequent tasting and pre wedding finalisation conversation, the Bouquet Garni team were all brilliant. They understood our needs and catered for our specific requests without hesitation. They were so easy to work with in what could have been a stressful build up to the day but they made us relaxed and did brilliantly on the day. A massive thank you to the team and the food was top notch!

The food served on the day was superb. Including the lovely canapes which everyone commented on. We opted for Paella in the evening which was cooked in front of our guests in a big dish which was another highlight. All tasted fantastic!!

Incredible...
Incredible! We were absolutely astounded by the service they provided! One of our guests got drunk at the wedding and did some damage to the venue. The caterer handled it all flawlessly, even when the police came, and I (the bride) didn't even find out about it until the next day! They kept our day from being ruined with their discretion and sensitivity. I could not recommend them highly enough! The food was amazing, the customer service was over the moon, and we couldn't be happier.

From start to finish...
From start to finish, the service we received for our wedding was amazing. Jon especially was extremely patient with me changing my mind every 5 minutes about the canapés etc. We had vegan and vegetarian guests too who were also catered for well. The day before the ladies were fantastic setting up and keeping me calm. All guests were blown away by the food which was top class. The chefs were so great and really happy and chatty to me and the other guests. I would strongly recommend Bouquet Garni

We were really happy with Bouquet Garni...
We were really happy with Bouquet Garni, we had been to a few weddings where they had provided the catering, so we were pleased when we found that they were the exclusive caterers for Layer Marney Tower. All our guests loved the food, and considering we had a very large party of foodies this was no easy feat. Would definitely recommend them.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

cateringFaqQuestion1

There are so many weddings that stand out to us! It wouldn't be fair for us to choose just one, they're all unique in their own special way and we love being a part of that!

cateringFaqQuestion2

Exceptional Personal Service Seasonal Produce Imaginative Menus Events to be Remembered Sensational Food

cateringFaqQuestion3

We are most proud of the repeat custom we get. Many of our clients use our services time and time again, and we're so glad that we are able to build relationships with clients in this way. We also get lots of recommendations from previous clients, who tell their friends and family about us and the service they received.

cateringFaqQuestion4

Remember that your Wedding Breakfast is a focal point of your wedding day. Your guests will be discussing your Wedding Breakfast for years to come, so make sure you're happy with all aspects of the catering.

cateringFaqQuestion5

Again there are so many little quirks to each individual wedding. My personal favourite is when our H Van is used to surprise the Bride or Groom, its such a lovely touch and always makes for fantastic photos.

cateringFaqQuestion6

We like to get to know the couple's we work with, so after your initial enquiry we usually have a meeting to discuss your requirements further. From there we arrange a tasting, so that the couple can sample our delicious food. Then we send over their tailored quote based upon their ideas, then the couple will pay their deposit and it becomes a confirmed booking. Then we keep in touch over the following months to ensure everything is going to plan. We get those final details the month before the wedding and before you know it the day will be here! Our favourite part is receiving a thank you card at the end, we've even had flowers delivered before!

cateringFaqQuestion7

You'll have to find that out yourselves!

cateringFaqQuestion8

Brides and Grooms come to us often with their own unique ideas, whether that be a theme or a type of cuisine. We always aim to go one step further to create something truly special for each couple's day.

cateringFaqQuestion9

I'll leave you with a quote. " There is no love sincerer than the love of food".

cateringFaqQuestion10

Well that would be telling...
