Menu prices are GST-inclusive. 

In this busy and budget-conscious time, a cocktail reception is fast becoming the most popular option for modern weddings – and for a few good reasons!

Flexibility – The bride & groom and guests are able to mingle and enjoy the occasion with all family and friends present, not just with who they are sitting with.

(Also, how fantastic to avoid the sometimes nightmare of a seating plan)

Exciting food – from canapés to fork dishes, cocktail items are nothing if not diverse and are presented in unique and artistic ways which creates a talking point for your guests.

Variety – having so many small items throughout the night allows for a large variety of flavours.

Budget – depending on your specific requirements, cocktail receptions can be much more affordable than a table service wedding.

Specialising in cocktail events, the team at Garnishes Catering look forward to being a part of your special day!
