While brides are splurging even more on venues, gowns and photography (i.e. on-site photo editors and drones), some of the bigger spends are focused on the supporting cast of every wedding—food and drinks. According to The Knot, which has tracked national wedding spending habits since 2006, the average wedding budget has steadily increased to $32,641, as of 2015
With this trend, many celebrity chefs have begun offering catering services for those craving more distinguished bites at their receptions. For those who secure the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles as their wedding venue, culinary icon Wolfgang Puck and his team will ensure your wedding is a gastronomic feast for you and all of your guests.
For $450 a head, the bride and groom can choose from a 39-page menu (!) that includes such delights as:
- Celery root and Fuji apple soup with sautéed field mushrooms
- Crispy bacon and golden raisins
- Red-wine poached Comice pear salad with fresh Burrata mozzarella
- Sonoma duck breast with ragout of French lentils
We’ll be waiting for our invitation…
