The day after the wedding
Keeping the celebration going, gently, around a long table
On the morning after the wedding, nobody really wants to say goodbye. Guests drift in one by one, swap stories about the night and laugh again about the speeches. It is often the gentlest moment of the weekend.
For this last get-together, I prepare a large sweet and savoury buffet, with fresh produce and homemade treats, alongside a drinks buffet: hot drinks, fruit juices, soft drinks... You come down, help yourselves and enjoy: my team and I take care of everything else, right up to the clearing away.
How the morning really unfolds
It is the day after the wedding, so we start by cleaning the room and the kitchen from the night before. While I prepare the kitchen, my team sets up the buffets and resets the tables with clean tableware.
Everything is put back in order, in a deliberately simpler, more laid-back style. After the elegance of the wedding, it is time for the feel of a big breakfast among loved ones.
The brunch is self-service. Everyone helps themselves at their own pace, and my team keeps the buffets topped up throughout.
There is no order of courses: eggs, grilled sausages, smoked salmon, homemade treats and coffee are all available at the same time, so everyone builds their plate as they like.
Everything is cleared and packed away, and the kitchen is left spotless. All that is left for you is to say goodbye to your guests.
"Many thanks again: thanks to you we had a lovely day and, above all, we ate wonderfully well."
"The meal was one of the highlights of our wedding and we warmly recommend him to anyone planning to marry near Bordeaux. His team was very attentive and the maître d' was impeccable."
Tell me where and for how many guests: I will put together a bespoke brunch, with a personal reply within 24 working hours.
