Wedding Fayre 29th April, Brighton Amex Stadium

This weekend Circa Events will be at the Wedding Fayre at the Amex
Stadium in Brighton, doors open from 10.30 until 3.30pm

For us, wedding Fayre’s, are a great way to meet new clients.  A
one-to-one with people is the best way to find out what you are looking
for.  Every wedding is different and that personal touch from the bride
and groom is a very important part of the day.  We aim, and are proud to
say, that we can work with all kinds of suppliers, together with the bride
(because she is the boss!) to make this happen.

Gone are the days of a brown buffet, food is a talked about part of
the day for years to come.  Our menus aim to give you the best local,
seasonal and memorable dishes for your wedding.  Menus are the starting
point, and with over 25 years in catering industry Circa have built a strong following
from national press coverage and food guides but probably the best award we have won is the feedback from diners that have eaten with Circa.

At Circa Events we aim to offer the full package for your wedding day,
from visiting you at the venue, menu tastings and one to one meetings.  We
offer a full wedding co-ordination on and before your big day.  We have a
“We can do anything” policy to our business and I believe that this
makes us stand out as the best wedding day provider!

If you have time, please come and chat with Marc and Sarah this
Sunday.  We want to make your big day what you want and a day to
remember!!

Marc, owner Circa Events

 

where it all goes… catering for your big day

Where it all goes…..

Your wedding day is the biggest day of your life and here,
at Circa Events, we are proud to say that we can make your dreams come
true.

A question I am asked all the time is  ‘How Much !?!’

The price for a 2 course wedding breakfast is £35 and our canape, three course wedding breakfast is £43 per guest – this includes all of our meetings at your chosen venue, your wedding tasting meal to decide on what you would like to eat for your big day, all tables, linen, glasses, crockery, chairs, etc.

How does it all happen I hear you ask?  Well, our team, from your personal event manager to the packers, from delivery team members to set up staff, will make this happen.

Your big day… We have set up the kitchen, brought in equipment, the chefs have arrived hot from our farm based kitchen in our refrigerated van and are creating your wedding menu. Our waiting staff are busy putting the final touches to your
venue, checking tables and your event manager is making the final checks to the
day before the staff meeting and any final points to cover.

And as if by magic the guests arrive, the venue is ready to
go, our staff are meeting your guests with drinks and the kitchen is serving
your selected canapés.   Your event manager is overseeing all areas of the venue keeping in contact with you and family members on timings and using their experience to gauge the running order. The bar is fully set up with trained bar staff offering a range of beers and spirits to your guests to your specification.

Your wedding breakfast: the kitchen is ready and all your
guests have been seated.  The head chef
and event organiser are fully trained to ensure every element of the meal runs
smoothly and is served at the correct time. Your waiting staff, serving their
allocated tables, are keeping a safe eye on the guests, topping up their drinks
when required.

The meal is finished, all the tables are cleared and our staff have set out the teas and coffees and are serving your guests.  The bar staff are serving drinks and the kitchen is getting ready for the evening buffet. The room has now been transformed for your evening party, the buffet is served and your guests party
the night away.

For a wedding based on one hundred guests Circa Events
provides: two chefs working on two days preparation time with your designed
menu using local quality ingredients, one kitchen porter to wash up, two
packers to collect and pack the vans with everything that is needed for the
day, four members of staff to set up the venue, ten staff to run the wedding
day, three staff to return to the venue the following day to clear up and a
further three members of staff to wash up and re polish. All of this is
overseen by me, Marc Bolger, the owner of Circa Events – and each client
receives the same level of service regardless on the amount of guests or budget….

You can get cheaper, but you won’t get better…. it’s your
special day after all
