We waited, right alongside you, month after month, to hear the news that weddings could go ahead again.
Over the quiet months that followed, we rejigged menus, creating elaborate, bespoke offerings that kept the elements you loved and amplified them to reflect your smaller numbers.
We took phone calls to rearrange your dates, sometimes three or four times, scaled-down table plans, and talked in hushed tones to our venue colleagues, standing in empty rooms that we’ve only ever seen filled with people.
Now, there is nothing quite like hearing the DJ play your songs whilst we assemble bacon butties and steaming bowls of indulgent mac and cheese for your late-night bites. The sounds of a hundred voices cheering and the scuff of a hundred pairs of feet spinning across the dance floor has never sounded so sweet through the swinging doors of a catering kitchen.
We will continue to follow guidelines and do everything we can to keep you safe. We will make sure your glasses stay full, and your menus are just as incredible as you remember them being at your tasting. We will ensure your guests are wowed from your very first canape to that last delicious bite of pizza.
It’s a changed old world out there, and it’s no exaggeration to say that we have all learned a lot and lost a fair amount too. But it is an absolute joy to be back where we belong, celebrating you.

It’s 2021 and we’re feeling hopeful for what’s to come. If we’ve all learnt anything in the past year it’s that, no matter what is thrown in its way, love will always win.
Whilst, ordinarily we work 18 months in advance of your day, with so many of our wonderful 2020 couples looking to postpone to this year or even next, we are now offering bookings late into 2022 and have even seen some thoughts turn to the 2023.
We want to support our clients, our venues and our industry as we all navigate our way through the landscape ahead, so whilst it may seem daunting to plan so far in advance, we strongly believe that the best way to ensure this is to plan well and be transparent from the very beginning.
If you got engaged over Christmas or the Valentines weekend and are looking to book your date for 2022 or 2023, we’d love to chat with you as we begin to fill our calendar for the seasons ahead.
We work in so many beautiful venues across Sussex and the Home Counties, and can also cater to private properties or in venues that allow external caterers. You can find out more about our venues here https://www.tietheknotcatering.co.uk/wedding-venues/
We work on a first-come, first, serve basis and cater for a max of 2 weddings a day. This means we can guarantee our twice award-winning service, providing you with the expertise and experience of our core team, and our undivided attention.
Our menus are second to none. We offer traditional 3 or 4-course dining, relaxed sharing board style menus or, for the socially distanced gatherings, elegant bowl food receptions. In 2019 we launched a hearty and delicious vegan menu which, over 2020, has been expanded to excite and satisfy even the hardiest of meat-eaters.
Also debuting in 2021, is an entirely new range of seasonal menus, capturing ingredients at the height of their flavour and vibrancy in dishes that complement both our style of modern British cuisine, and our sustainability agenda.

Well 2020, what a crazy first six months you’ve been! If 2020 was the year you were supposed to be saying ‘I do’, and now your wedding has changed season or even year, let’s all agree on this:
The world has understandably and irrevocably changed in such a short time. You’ve lived through a scary and traumatic six months that has completely thrown all your plans out the window. But, once this is all over you are going to marry the love of your life, surrounded by all the people who love you most. The world around you will be brighter, and you will love and laugh that much harder, and treasure every moment of your incredible day, for everything that has happened.
It is definitely okay to feel sad for the day that you haven’t been able to have, but it is also okay to be excited again – for the celebration that lies ahead, whenever it happens. Now is an excellent time to do some regrouping. Getting married in a different season to the one you had planned doesn’t have to feel daunting.
So, if your Spring nuptials have become Autumn/Winter ones, here are our top tips on what to do when your wedding has changed season, and how you can make the very best of the situation.

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.
