Weddings are moments of joy, love, and celebration!
At Open Table, we believe that every celebration deserves a feast that reflects the beauty of the occasion. We recently had the honour of catering an opulent wedding in the foothills of Byron Bay and we’re excited to share the details of this magical event with you! Get ready, it was a mind-blowing wedding!
Ali and Max both work in the USA, in the fashion industry. They both have impeccable tastes and were enthusiastic to create a night of wonders for their guests. As a professional catering company and being mindful of various but specific dietary requirements, our team worked closely with the couple to create a menu that reflected their personal tastes, the significance of the occasion and our beautiful region products.
The Venue and Ambiance
Set against the backdrop of Byron Bay surrounded by tall trees and beautiful Nature, Victoria Park venue is nothing short of picturesque! Its location provides for our wedding catering service the perfect setting to create our magic! The soft glow of fairy lights, the tables, the astonishing floral arrangements, all this created a truly enchanted atmosphere. Guests were greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance promising an evening of unforgettable memories, with goodies to bring home!
The night was truly unforgettable! The day after the ceremony and banquet, we had the pleasure to cater for brunch with our power couple’s related and closed ones at the bride’s family home.
A Feast to Remember, appetizers , Banquet, dessert canapés and brunch buffet.
Our custom menu was a harmonious blend of flavours and cultures, reflecting the couple’s diverse tastes and their love for vibrant, colourful dishes.
The celebration began with a selection of delightful appetizers that set the tone for the evening. Guests enjoyed delicate fish ceviche with pineapple Pico de Gallo, Haloumi parcels, Zucchini fritters and stunning beef carpaccio crostini.
