Memories to last a lifetime

We got married in August this year at Laughton Barns and cannot praise the Circa team enough. From the first day of viewing the barn as the empty working barn that it was to the beautiful venue for our perfect wedding, Jade, Liv and the rest of the Circa team were beyond helpful and amazing to work with. No request was too big or too small and we have had nothing but compliments for the entire day. And the food? Out of this world - every one of our guests were catered for, no matter their dietary requirements, fussy eating or age. We would highly recommend the Circa team and Laughton Barns to anyone planning a wedding!!!! Just a shame we can't get married again and have the amazing day all over again!!

Wonderful food and a super team!

Circa catered our wedding in November and I honestly couldn't rate them highly enough! From the start, they were friendly and approachable and took time to discuss what we wanted, and suggested details to make it individual and personal. Nothing was too much trouble. The food on the day (and at the tasting) was amazing - we received so many compliments from guests and although we unfortunately got too distracted to try the canapes or 'Lite Bites' evening food, I know there were several people who insisted on trying one of every option! We're so grateful to Jade, Ben, Liv and the rest of the team (especially the bar man, whose name I never got, but helped us so much!) for ensuring our day ran so smoothly. They inspired confidence throughout the process and made us feel very special!

Delicious and outrageous

Best food I’ve eaten at a wedding, unreal. Very impressed. Wish I could eat the starter over and over again. 10/10.

A feast fit for a King

As my husband is a chef and one with very high standards, it was no mean feat to keep him happy (chef groomzilla I called him throughout), especially in regards to delivering a truly bespoke menu - and Circa went above and beyond. So many of our guests have said it was the best wedding meal they have had and we were so happy with it all. They were great in the run up and fantastic on the day. Jade was a huge help to me and kept everything ticking along perfectly without us even realising and Mark and Justin did a incredible job in the kitchen. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Fabulous Food & Fabulous Service

We chose Circa as our wedding caterers in May & we were so pleased with them. From the initial enquiry right through to the big day Circa were very professional & very accommodating. All our guests have raved about the food & how good it was & also how friendly the staff were. Even those with dietary requirements were catered for to the same high standard & received extra special attention. All in all, very happy guests & bride & groom! Thank you Circa :)

5* Wedding Planning Experience

My husband and I recently got married at Laughton Barns in July 2017. We booked our venue and were introduced to the Circa Team, who have been absolutely amazing during our whole planning experience. They were all so friendly and helpful suggesting ideas I had not thought of to make our big day so much more special. The team were great during the pre-wedding preparations and even on the day making sure everything ran smoothly for us. We also used Circa for our wedding breakfast and our pizza van in the evening. All the food was freshly prepared and cooked on the day and tasted amazing. Even to this day I still keep getting compliments about how fantastic the food was from our guests and what a great idea the pizza van was too. If I could recommend any event planning company/caterers to any of my family and friends Circa would be my number one. Thank you all so much Circa for making our wedding day one to remember for a life time.

Perfect day, perfect food, here's to a perfect life together

Circa did the catering for our wedding in October 2017. Throughout the year of planning that led up to our special day, Circa were with us for every step of the way; they were amazing at replying quickly to emails, giving advice and were really flexible for all our needs. We had a tasting session to help us choose our menu options and the food was even better on the day itself. We had lots of lovely compliments from our guests that the duck confit was the best they'd ever had. We also couldn't recommend their pizza van strongly enough. Personal pizzas, hand made on the spot at 10pm goes down a real treat! and even freshly made gluten-free options! Overall we would definitely recommend Circa for your wedding. Not only is the food amazing but if small problems do occur (like the Bride accidentally not updating one of the table plans to include a new vegetarian) they fix it immediately on the spot, during the dinner, with absolutely no fuss. Thank you Circa for a lovely day!

Exceptional quality food and service

Circa really went the extra mile with our wedding catering. The venue had limited kitchen space, yet they produced the most fantastic food. They are obviously very passionate about what they do and this really showed. Thank you so much Circa for such amazing food and service.

FAQs

cateringFaqQuestion1

We catered and managed an incredible 'fair' inspired wedding in a field in east sussex, complete with coconut shys, hoopla and hook-a-ducks, on one of the hottest days of the year! Menu-wise they went for a picnic on each table, with baskets, all the chutneys & pickles you can imagine and huge wedges of cheese, followed by a build your own eton-mess station with colourful meringues! Great fun had by all and so much personality in each element of their day.

cateringFaqQuestion2

Creative. Fine Dining. Fun. Colourful. Memorable.

cateringFaqQuestion3

Our personal, friendly and creative approach to wedding food, we're all so proud to be part of Circa!

cateringFaqQuestion4

Personalise elements of the food and drinks for that extra something - make the food and drinks memorable!

cateringFaqQuestion5

I love it when couples make their own favours for guests, be it homemade gin or jam - people do take them with them if they are personally made!

cateringFaqQuestion6

From the first email, we'll strive to understand a clients vision for the day. Some couples like the look of our set menus, some want something a little more bespoke for the day, we'll create menus at this stage and do a rough quote based on guest numbers and food/drink choices. In the year of the wedding itself, we'll hold a tasting for our couples (complimentary once booked) so they can choose their options for the day, we'll start planning timings at this stage and over the following months bring together all the plans for the day. If its a marquee or a rural venue we'll do a site visit if we can, and we'll always be at the venue the day before to set up. On the event day we'll be at the venue at least 2 hours before guests arrive and we'll run the day using all the plans we've made over the last few months!

cateringFaqQuestion7

I would say our Smoked Duck Breast Salad, Chard Courgettes, Pesto Dressing, Blush Tomato starter dish would go down with the judges, its just so colourful and pretty on a plate and of course, tastes delightful!

cateringFaqQuestion8

Not so much a dish....more of a drink! We had a couple who wanted a portuguese menu for their big day, complete with 'poncha' a traditional madeiran toast drink! I went on holiday to Madeira before their wedding, and of course after much 'research' came up with a great recipe which we re-created on the day for them!

cateringFaqQuestion9

Music, play on!

cateringFaqQuestion10

Just a little seasoning makes everything taste better....sriracha has been a firm favourite with the chefs this year!
