1) Think presentation, of course the desserts should speak for themselves but dressing your dessert table will create visual interest and ensure that it looks as spectacular as it tastes.

2) Choose a theme or selection of food and dishes that you would like served. These may be linked to the overall style of your wedding.

3) Where would you like the food stations and stalls to be located? Will they be on show throughout the main meal, or would you like a grand unveiling! We’ve created secret pudding rooms, complete with smart waiters on hand to serve espresso martinis to keep the party going!

4) Dessert stations shouldn’t cost the earth in comparison to a plated dessert, but if you want it to have a visual impact then you need to add a floral burst – the bigger the better. Start with a simple table and dress it to the nines using textured fabrics, flowers (recycled bridesmaids posies if you’re on a budget) wooden crates, stools, Perspex cubes – your caterer should have lots of fun props to suit your style so don’t be afraid to ask.

5b) Served – A waiter is handy to have to guide guests and help with the service and manage portion control!
