Sometimes brides and grooms-to-be worry about not having a limited selection to choose from when booking their venue. However, thanks to Pittodrie House’s menu selector, couples getting married here can choose what goes on their wedding menu from a variety of different courses to feed their guests. And, these various wedding menu ideas include a wide range of starters, mains and desserts. The venue even offers vegan and vegetarian options, for no extra charge.
At Pittodrie, the executive head chef, Edwin Blackhall, tailor-makes menus to suit all tastes – including the fussiest of wedding guests. But first, wedding coordinator Andrew Leggat works with the couple to design their wedding menu ensuring it is as perfect as the venue!
Andrew said: “Although traditional dishes remain largely popular when catering for their wedding guests, couples are now starting to consider unique elements to their wedding meal. Offering a choice menu provides the best of both worlds – something traditional combined with a more luxurious or unique option to make their wedding breakfast a dining experience to remember.”
