One of the hottest trends in hen’s day and wedding catering is the addition of a candy buffet, dessert buffet or high tea.

If you’ve never heard of these wedding catering options …

Candy Buffets offer your guests a selection of sweets and they can pick their favourites, creating their own personalised party bag! The candy included is only limited to your imagination.

Dessert Buffets change your wedding dessert from a limited choice to an extravaganza of delicious options. You can also consider a smaller wedding cake (and save some money into the mix) by complement your wedding cake with other desserts.

The candy and dessert buffets add a hugely fun element to your wedding reception. Their presentation can be tailored to fit with your wedding theme and they give your guests the perfect place to mingle and get to know each other!

High Tea is a stylish way to start your hen’s day celebrations and include some of the older folk that might not want to hit the town with you and your friends. High tea is usually made up of gourmet cakes, tarts, biscuits, scones and sandwiches with berry compotes and fresh cream.

We spoke to Pam Thexton from La Tea Da who create themed candy buffets for weddings and gourmet high teas for hen parties. Pam said, “When it comes to the candy buffets we often find it’s the groom with the sweet tooth and they love the chance to pick all their childhood favourites. Although a multi-coloured candy buffet creates a wonderful party atmosphere, we can create a stunning display that matches your wedding theme and colour scheme – from the lollies and sweets right down to the font we use on the tags.”

High tea for hen’s parties is a favourite of Pams and she explains, “Serving high tea creates a lovely atmosphere without filling everyone up with heavy food. Our high tea is homemade and served on beautiful vintage table settings with 3-tiered cake stands for each table. It always looks so pretty and stylish regardless of the location.”
