Not all good ideas get the opportunity to fulfil their potential. The ones that do, are often characterised by a group of passionate people, and slow and steady growth.
Over the last four years Tie The Knot has had the benefit of both benefactors, which is why we’ve taken the opportunity to have a little reflection on the things we have learned and how they have helped us progress as a business.
Running a successful catering company takes a lot of moving parts. It requires everyone to be on the same page; to be passionate about our food, and the services we offer. We are fortunate to be surrounded by a group of such people. Talented, committed and flexible people who pride themselves on consistently high standards and are always striving for improvement.
Winning the TWIA South East Caterer Award, for the second year running, has been wonderful recognition for a brilliant year of growth & learning. So, what have we done this year, and how has it been received?
Autumn.
Romantic, moody, dramatic. Characterised by twinkling fairy lights and crunchy leaves underfoot.
It is a truly beautiful time of year to get married. Excellent golden light, a whole new range of colour palettes to work with and no overriding fears that your day will be completely ruined if it rains (because it very well might, and you’ve already made peace with that).
We know that planning your wedding is like navigating your way around a foreign city when you don’t speak a word of the language. You know where you want to go, you’re not entirely sure how to get there and you know you definitely don’t want to be ripped off along way.
The DIY wedding is on the up. Long gone are the days where your choices were white or pink chair covers and Parma ham vs prawn cocktail for starters.
You are no longer restricted to getting married in a church followed by a hotel reception. Confetti UK revealed that in 2017 61% of couples married in a civil ceremony with a 15% rise from 2009 on barn wedding receptions. With the hopes that a law change will mean UK couples can get married outside these statistics are due an even more radical change in the year to come!
Wedding season is full of beautiful moments; For us these include meeting and getting to know you, inviting you in for a tasting and ultimately helping you helping you pick your perfect wedding breakfast. Canapes that delight, mains that are completely reminiscent of that amazing holiday you had together – these are all the tiny details that help make your dream day a reality!
