After our tips on how to choose the right wedding catering service, the next essential step is selecting the menu—a key element that deserves your full attention, with a focus on personalization, unique ideas, and inspiration.
That’s why, thanks to their experience, the chefs at Glicine Catering have created this guide to help couples design a one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience for a day they’ll remember forever. From finger food to table settings, every detail can make a difference.
The aperitif is the first real taste of the event—the moment when emotion gives way to joy and celebration. That’s why it’s the perfect time to surprise your guests with a creative and light offering that suits everyone. Among our chefs’ suggestions are seasonal finger food combinations such as tartare, mini quiches, gourmet crostini, and fresh skewers. How? By carefully balancing plant-based, meat, and seafood options.
To complete the experience: a customized cocktail and mocktail list, with drinks tailored to the bride and groom and their guests, offering both alcoholic and lighter non-alcoholic options—even drinks designed for children. The final touch? Trusting professional bartenders to craft exclusive blends using seasonal ingredients, edible flowers, and aromatic herbs—perfect for an outdoor wedding or an elegant evening reception.
A successful wedding menu tells the couple’s story through flavors. Personalization is at the heart of Glicine’s approach. That’s why we always start with the seasonality of ingredients, ensuring freshness and quality, and then build dishes around the couple’s tastes, culinary memories, and the context of the event.
The tasting experience at our Sinalunga Showroom is a key moment of dialogue and sharing between the couple and our chefs, where we explore ideas and design truly custom solutions.
Always ask your guests about any intolerances, allergies, or specific needs so you can plan gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, or vegan versions of each course—without ever sacrificing flavor.
Our chefs also develop dedicated children’s menus featuring simple, fun, and balanced dishes.
One of the most common questions we receive is:
“How many courses should a wedding menu include?”
There is no fixed rule, as each couple is free to choose what suits them best. However, based on our experience, we usually suggest a balanced and engaging dining journey, such as:
Naturally, every proposal is adjusted based on the duration of the event, the season, and the pacing the couple wishes to give to the day.
Last but not least, a great menu deserves an equally refined setting. The mise en place is an integral part of the overall experience and helps define the wedding’s identity. All setups curated by Glicine are designed to harmonize with the venue, the wedding theme, and the overall atmosphere.
Whether it’s a boho chic, classic, minimal, or rustic style, the table settings and decorations are custom-designed based on the location, colors, and seasonal materials (like natural fabrics, fine porcelain, floral or botanical elements).
From linens to dishware, every detail is crafted to create a table that captivates and impresses—even before the food is served.
An unforgettable wedding begins at the table. With Glicine Catering, every menu is a tailor-made experience, crafted with love, creativity, and attention to detail. Whether you dream of an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, our chefs and team will be by your side to create a culinary journey that truly tells your story.
