Step 1: Set the Date
You may have said yes, (yay!) But it isn’t real until you’ve got a date to work toward. Summer weddings are still the most popular but any time of year is a good time to get hitched.
From Dreams to Fruitions
Let us guide you through the whole process.
It's All In The Details
You have a vision, we have the skills to bring it to life.
Wedding catering is not only our specialty, it’s our passion. We are masters of execution and our process ensures the food and drink we present brings your wedding to life. Our dream team of event specialists love what they do and will take extra time to get to know you and the wedding you envision. They’ll listen to your wants and needs, storyboard a plan, and make it happen.
Communication is key and we're here to help and guide you every step of the way. Last minute jitters that only a ham sandwich will ease? It wouldn’t be the first time we delivered to the end of the aisle.

The Planning Process
Step 2: Create a Budget
Wedding costs can spiral out of control and become a pain point for many couples. Avoid this pitfall by setting and sticking to a budget. This stage will involve doing some research around the average cost per head for food and alcohol, and exploring other costs like flowers, dress and music. Call around to different caterers and vendors. Make a list of every element you’d like to include at your wedding and the estimated cost of each.
Step 3: Book a Tasting
This is where the fun starts. Book a tasting with Savoury Chef and let us flex our culinary muscles to show you what we can do for your wedding.
Step 4: Book the Venue & Caterer
Consider the look or theme you envision and how a venue can support that. Is it going to be a grand affair, or something more intimate? Indoor or out? Many venues have preferred caterers they like to work with and vice versa. Since food is such an important part of your wedding, we believe in the importance of developing a unique relationship with each of our clients. Go with someone you trust.
Step 5: Book the Vendors
From photographers and florists, to the DJ and makeup artist, your Savoury Chef planner will gladly make introductions to those on our preferred list of Vancouver professionals to help bring your dream wedding to life.
Step 6: Write a Guestlist
Is cousin Billy going to make the cut? Refer back to your budget to help you decide whether you need to cull your initial list. Each additional body adds to your spend. But then again, you only get married once. (Right?!)
Send invitations eight weeks in advance. 12 if you’re having a destination wedding.
Step 7: Set the Menu
From one-bite canapes to mind blowing dessert displays, no two weddings are alike and your Savoury Chef event planner will help you decide what’s best for your bespoke event.
Step 8: Create a Timeline
This is the time to decide how your wedding will flow; when the speeches will occur, how the meal will roll out and who will sit where. You need a seating chart! Lean on us for help with creating the timeline for your day.

Step 10: Rest
The day before your wedding - stop thinking about it. Get some exercise. Drink lots of water and eat some carbs. Avoid alcohol. Get a good night’s sleep. And feel free to call us. We’re happy to run through everything with you right up until the last moment.
