They always say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Likewise, the best way to win your wedding guests over is also through their bellies. Pull off an unconventional reception, and your unique wedding grub will leave your guests talking for many gatherings to come.
Don’t play it safe and confine yourself to the usual spread – chances are we’ve all been to weddings where the food was easily forgettable. From everyone’s favourite llaollao to mobile coffee carts, here’s a list of unorthodox food caterers for a wedding to remember.
1. llaollao

Everyone loves llaollao, so having a live station at your wedding will naturally elevate your food reception to #goals status. Their catering package includes delivery, set up and two manpower service. Your guest will be treated to a medium cup with up to three toppings of their choice. Forget corny heart-shaped chocolates as door gifts, this froyo station will be the ultimate wedding favour for your guests.

2. Kinsmen Coffee
Coffee lovers, it is only right that your food menu is an accurate reflection of you and your significant other. Rent a mobile coffee cart and and spoil your guests – and yourselves – with lattes, cappuccinos and even artisanal coffees like cortados and gibraltars. Everyone could use a good pick-me-up, especially if your wedding is going to span several hours. Kinsmen Coffee provides a fully-equipped coffee cart with barista service and costs around $700-$800 for a 2-hour service. You can even customise your own takeaway cups for added novelty.

3. Truffle Fries
There’s something very alluring about live food stations. Case in point: the omelette station at hotel breakfast buffets we all throng to before anything else. Perhaps it is the sheer excitement of watching your food being cooked in front of you, or knowing that it will be served fresh and piping hot. In this case, having a truffle fries live station is more than apt because nobody likes soggy fries. Prices start from $350 per hour for free flow fries and includes complimentary delivery and set-up.

Prices start from $250 per hour and includes cart delivery, manpower, four standard traditional flavours and choice of cone, rainbow bread or cup. This timeless addition will be a nostalgic hit among your guests.
