The Royal Kitchens, headed by Lionel Mann and Caterers “Rhubarb Food Design” were jointly responsible for Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones wedding feast for 550 guests. Their wedding menu was as follows: Coulibiac (Smoked haddock baked with rice and mushrooms in pastry) Beef Stroganoff Selection of Vegetables Selection of Salads Fresh Raspberries The produce, I have no doubt, would have been grown in the royal gardens. As for the Wedding Cake it was made by Linda Fripp of “Upper Crusts Country Kitchen” in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Royal And Celebrity Wedding Menus, Incorporating Favourite Dishes: Some of the A list insist upon the Chefs incorporating their favourite dishes into their wedding menu, for example David Beckham had sticky toffee pudding. Other stars favourite dishes include: Problems Associated With Royal And Celebrity Wedding Menus: The major problem is serving hot food to 500 – 1,500 people in a timely manner. To do so may involve literally hundreds of wait staff. The menus usually reflect food that may be prepared before hand and recipes that do not “spoil” for being kept under/on a hot plate. A vegetarian choice is usually included and the menu may reflect local specialties, or incorporate menus reflecting the couple’s backgrounds. For example, in 1986 Arnold Schwarzenegger & Maria Shriver were married. They held their rehearsal dinner at a local country club where dishes were chosen to reflect their Austrian and Cape Cod backgrounds. Their wedding reception menu included: Cocktails Oyster, Lobster Chicken Breasts with Champagne Sauce Seasonal Vegetables Wedding Cake (7’ tall) * * * Danny Moder and Julia Roberts chose food that reflected their wedding day – July 4th 2002. No American Independence Day would be complete without hotdogs and hamburgers. They also had caterers, “The Wooden Spoon”, who provided an alternative: Lemon Chicken Steak Shish Kebabs Corn-on-the-Cob Layer Cakes (chocolate & raspberry and lemon flavours) * * * Other Royal And Celebrity Wedding Menus: In 2005, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles chose: Smoked Salmon on Brown Bread Roast Venison Assortment of pastries (caramel banana slices, caramelised lemon tarts, ice cream coronate, glazed mocha fudge and fruit cakes) Wedding Cake * * * Pete Sampras and Bridgette Wilson chose: Risotto Fillet of Beef Three tiered lemon and strawberry wedding cake * * * Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner chose: Caviar & Salmon Beef fillets garnished with baby onions & carrots Sea Bass Quadruple layered cake (½ Chocolate & ½ strawberries) * * * For Tori Spelling Chef Wolfgang Puck served: Artichoke Ravioli A Choice of lamb or fish Lemon Soufflé * * * Finally Tiger Woods and bride Elin Nordegran, when married in Barbados served their 120 guests Champagne, accompanied by: Caviar & Blackened Scottish Salmon Shrimp Cocktail Flying Fish Macaroni Pie A four tiered Wedding Cake * * * The Latest Royal And Celebrity Wedding Menu: Bec & Lleyton Hewitt’s wedding menu gave their guests a sumptuous choice of: Prawn Salad with Avocado, Iceberg Lettuce & Mint or Crispy Skin Chicken With Sichuan Pepper, Angel Hair Noodles, Pickled Radish & Sesame Seeds or Roast Tomato, Caramelized Onion & Olive Tart Served With Baby Green Leaves & Feta Main Course Pepper Steak with French Style Peas & Potato Gratin served with a Green Side Salad or Roast King Fish on Warm Kipfler Potatoes, Spinach Salad with Lentil Salsa Verde or Roast Pumpkin & Mascarpone Ravioli on Braised Artichokes, Pencil Leeks & Spring Pea Sauce Dessert Bar Whole array of mini desserts Vases of lollies * * * This was topped off with a 100 kg white and dark chocolate 8 tier wedding cake made by Planet Cake. o-o-O-o-o Royal And Celebrity Wedding Menus
