While wedding guest lists have gotten shorter and venues smaller this year, the food-and-drink component of your ceremony is not one to skimp out on. For your attendees, sitting down to enjoy a lavish banquet remains one of the highlights of the night, whether they are trading stories about how they know the couple-to-be with a tuna tartare crostini in hand or listening to the best man’s toast in between bites of filet mignon.
If you are planning a wedding for the near future, take note of some operational adjustments that Singapore’s top food vendors have made in light of the pandemic-induced mini-wedding trend. While some have lowered their minimum order restrictions—now, you can order luxe catering packages for a party of as few as 10 attendees—others have begun offering individually packaged gourmet meals that will reach your guests in their own homes, to be enjoyed over their laptops while they watch your wedding on a livestream. Whatever your requirements may be, Vogue rounds up Singapore’s best caterers, who will supply your nuptials with an unforgettable array of dishes.
Luxe Catering
For couples who want to serve their guests a taste of the French countryside, Luxe Catering’s decadent menu of traditional quiches, coq au vin and beef bourguignon complements their refined presentation and top-notch service, complete with tuxedo clad butlers. The business embodies showmanship and grandeur—look out for their live flambé and carving stations as well as mini French pastry bars. While current safety measures are in place, your guests can enjoy Luxe’s social packs or boxes, which are filled with Parisian favourites like ratatouille nicoise and chicken a la provencale.

Grain
Grain’s millennial-friendly appeal stems from their socially-conscious ethos, as well as their unconventional menu of modern, innovative dishes like blue coconut rice and codfish tofu bites. While they are not currently serving large parties in the interest of public health and employee welfare, couples planning to throw intimate micro-weddings can order their buffet-to-go, which serves small parties with dishes arriving in disposable thermal containers—biodegradable, of course. You can also opt to send your guests individually-portioned bentos stuffed with menu favourites to enjoy in their own homes. For on-location weddings, Grain offers a number of top-up services like customised wedding florals and signages.
