The chef at your tasting is the chef on your day.

Small weddings deserve more than a scaled-down banquet. With fewer guests there's room for food with real care in it: dishes you chose together, cooked and plated by the person who designed them.

We'll meet, talk through the day and taste your menu. On the day I work with your venue and planner so everything lands on time, and the evening food arrives just when people need it.

Questions

Do you cater weddings?

Yes, small and intimate ones are what Ten Tables does best: canapés, the wedding breakfast and evening food, at venues, marquees and family homes across Northern Ireland.

Can we have a tasting?

Yes. Wedding couples taste their menu before the day, and tastings can be arranged for other larger events too. Ask about it when you get in touch.

How far ahead should I book?

A few weeks' notice is ideal for dinners. December and summer Saturdays fill up first, so book those as early as you can. Couples usually get in touch six months to a year before a wedding. Short-notice dates do come up, so it's always worth asking.

How do deposits and cancellations work?

A deposit secures your date and the balance is due shortly before the event. The exact amounts and the cancellation terms are set out clearly in your quote before you commit to anything.
