Mini size, maxi delicious!
With all these different options of tasty snacks, it is sometimes so hard to choose. Choice stress? Why choose when you can also take it all! Just serve your guests mini versions of toppings like pizza, burgers or sausage rolls. A big trend that is coming back more often are the mini ice cream cones or pops that the chefs at J&M Catering, for example, fill with savoury treats.
Soup scores
Soups come in all flavours and colours. Therefore, you will always score with a soup. By working with seasonal and local products, this tasty snack also has a minimal ecological footprint. In winter you serve your soup wonderfully hot, in summer it's nice and refreshing. Your guests will thank you too: with a glass in their hand and a soup in their other hand, everyone will soon be standing elegantly at your reception!
Classic toppers
That we Belgians have long known what is good is no secret. Classics such as tomato mozzarella, quiches, appetisers with salmon and herb cheese, tomato shrimp or bruschetta are -often- hugely popular. So feel free to have your caterer bring them to your wedding as well. Give them extra vavavoom by going in for a fun presentation.
Going abroad
Belgian cuisine has many culinary strengths, but foreign snacks such as Mexican tortillas or tacos also serve up nice. Or how about American bagels or English savoury scones. Fan of oriental cuisine? Let your guests put together their own appetisers and let them discover Chinese jiaozi, Vietnamese nem saigon, Japanese cyakodon and Thai massaman curry.
From unexpected quarters
Surprise your guests with tasty snacks from unexpected quarters: a cheerful bag of chips, a colourful crisp or a frozen yoghurt bowl just before the main course in summer. Or a non-sweet macaron, such as the one from caterer Very Food Catering - it looks like a treat, yet surprises with its savoury taste.
Nature's candy
Mother Nature has a lot of sweets to offer us. Every season she offers a different range of delicious treats. Fruit can certainly be incorporated into the snacks at your wedding: fruit on a stick, melon with ham, fruit in a salad,... the possibilities are endless. Here, too, you score extra points by working with seasonal and local products.
Snacks as a main course
Still can't choose after these different options? Does everything sound equally delicious? Of course, you can also simply choose to serve your guests mainly appetisers - perhaps in slightly heartier portions, so that everyone gets enough to eat. In this format, you choose from a range of mini dishes that you like. So add up the pizza, tacos, tomato mozzarella, soups, fruit and ice creams to a concept you find heavenly. A professional caterer will come up with a concept with you that surprises and fulfils everyone.
