Weddings 

You’ve got the ring, you’ve read all the magazines and you’ve probably never 

had so many likes on your Facebook status before….but now the hard work 

(and fun!) of planning your big day begins 

At By Ambience, we know that while planning a wedding is exciting, it can 

also be stressful. There’s a lot to think about – outfits, the venue, 

decorations… at least choosing your dream menu with By Ambience is fuss 

free! With a variety of choice on offer, our team of wedding experts will help 

you select your perfect food option. 

What’s more, all of our catering options are bespoke, meaning our team of 

experts will meet with you before the big day to discuss what your perfect 

menu looks like, tasting as we go. Unsure what your guests will toast your 

marriage with? The Ambience bar is great way to organise liquid 

refreshments for outdoor weddings and is the perfect accompaniment to a 

marquee, festival themed or barn wedding. 

Our team of wedding caterers know that while having tasty food is 

important, your guests also need to be fed on time for a smooth reception. 

We work closely with your venue and wedding planners to ensure your day 

goes without a hitch and the timings are just right. At By Ambience, we know 

it isn’t just fantastic food that will make your wedding memorable, it’s seeing 

the smile on guests’ faces and enjoying a seamless, hassle free celebration.

us to cater for many events, including front and back

Canapés On 

Arrival 

By Ambience is best known for its canapés and 

canapé events which it serves regularly at champagne 

or cocktail receptions. 

Our canapés help put on a truly exceptional display, 

they work extremely well upon the arrival of your 

guests after the ceremony at your chosen venue. We 

highly recommend these as you are going to be spend 

quiet sometime getting those very important shots of 

your family, bridal party and friends, it is nice to offer 

your guests some bitesize Canapés, just to tie them 

over along with some Prosecco or Pimms. 

Please take a look at our selection of Canapés on our 

website. 


Arrival Drinks 

Table Wines 

As your guests arrive it’s always nice to thank them for their 

attendance by supplying them with a drink on arrival be that 

one or two glasses. We tend to serve some form of bubbles be 

that Champagne, Prosecco or Sparkling Wine, however we can 

also supply Summer Pimm's or even Beers, as well as non 

alcoholic beverages, it’s really up to you. 

Once all of your family and friends photos have been taken, 

Arrival drinks and Canapes gone and your guest are seated 

then a selection of Wines and Mineral Water are displayed on 

the tables for your guests to enjoy with their meal. 

Once the Wedding Breakfast has finished it is tradition to serve 

a toasting wine ready for those speeches, this could be Bubbly 

or even something slightly stronger, Port? 

Please take a look at our drinks packages on the website. 


We get asked for a variety of options when it comes to the 

Wedding Breakfast and the main meal of the day, so we have listed 

a few options below. 

Wedding 

Breakfast 

Probably the most traditional option for your special day would be a three course dinner, 

however the menu selection does not have to be traditional, our experienced chefs, 

whom have worked in the restaurant and hotel industry for many years, have created 

extensive menu options. If you are looking for something extra special, we will work with 

you to create your dream menu. 

Something lighter, for a later wedding ceremony could be an Afternoon Tea, with 

Delicious Sandwiches made using the finest ingredients, a selection of our homemade 

savory pastries, and some of those tasty treats, Macaroons, Scones & cakes, served with 

Fresh Tea and Coffee. With the evening food being more substantial. 

You could even have a one of our delicious Hog or Lamb Roast as the main part of your 

Wedding Breakfast, served with deliciously crisp rosemary and garlic roast potatoes, 

selection of fresh salad and homemade chutneys and sauces. This with a Fruity dessert 

finish would leave a lasting memory of a great wedding breakfast. 

Barbeques are another classic for a wedding and a very effective way to offer your guests 

a choice of meats they would like, it can also make the formalities of a wedding seem a 

lot less formal, great for a very relaxed wedding day. We can serve barbeques as a large 

served buffet or we can create mini buffets for each table, a great way for your guests to 

be involved. 

As you can see from above these are just a few ideas to get you thinking about what you 

would like to create a truly unique wedding day. 


Evening 

Reception 

For the evening reception there are so many possibilities for 

food, are you looking for a traditional buffet, bacon and 

sausage rolls, hog roast or barbecue buffet, what about our 

grazing menu-Cured meat, cheeses and antipasti's, we have 

even been asked for a jacket potato stall with a variety of 

toppings the choices are endless. We can cater for all of these 

and many more, so let your imagination run wild. We tend to 

recommend catering for around 75% of your total guests, as 

your day guest will have already eaten, however, something to 

nibble on to see them through the rest of the evening is a good 

idea. 

We even supply the Evening Bar, we have fully equipped bars 

with a full range of Lager, Cider, Wines and Spirits, you can be 

sure there will be enough drink to last throughout the evening. 

As you can see we complete the whole package as we believe 

this is the best way for you to receive the best value for money, 

and ensure the highest quality is maintained throughout your 

day. 


Within this brochure we have outlined all of the key areas for the catering and hospitality 

for weddings. We hope that we have manage to get across the diversity that By Ambience 

can delivery for your wedding day. 

Other considerations for your wedding day’s that you may or may not want to include but 

also when you would like them to take place: 

• Receiving line- before you are seated for you wedding breakfast

our prices do differ with every event, so it is best to get in touch to create your bespoke 

package 

We work very hard for you to ensure that planning your wedding is as stress free as 

possible, the By Ambience Team have been assisting Brides and Grooms for many years,

Testimonials 

Amazing food, attention to detail at every moment throughout 

the day. Exceptional service from booking to wedding day itself. 

Would recommend you to anyone and all of my wedding 

guests commented on how delicious the food was, have to say 

front of house was exceptional too and they really looked after 

me, hadn't told my wedding guests I was pregnant yet so the 

constant glasses of water brought to me made me able to get 

through morning sickness on the day too. Thanks again so 

pleased we booked with you. 

Vicki & Ben Graham- Wedding August 2017 

Gary and the Ambience team made our day truly special. Gary 

wasn't just out caterer he ended up being our wedding advisor 

as well! When ever we meet up to discuss the food for the day 

he would always ask us questions about the running of the day 

and logistics? He then offered advice and support to make our 

day run smoother. The little details that were key to making the 

day special he ensured were completed to top quality. We 

wanted something unique and not on his website but he was 

happy to cater for it. His staff were well mannered, professional 

and always willing to help. Gary was pivotal to making our day 

as special as it was.
