Planning your big day is one of the most exciting experiences, but it also comes with some challenging decisions to be made. At Hudsons Catering, we understand how important it is to get those first big decisions right.
We believe that the first and most important elements to get right are the catering, venue and photographer. To help set you on the path to the perfect wedding day, we’ve created a guide to help you take the first steps.
1 - Catering: A feast to remember
Catering should definitely be at the top of your list when you’re starting to plan your wedding. Following your ceremony, transform your special day into a feast of flavours that can be shared and enjoyed by you and your guests. The relationship between love and food is deeply intertwined, as a delicious meal has the power to bring people together, and celebrate life's most cherished moments.
That’s why we like to ensure that the catering is full of personal touches that pay homage to the newlyweds. From a tribute to the restaurant where you had your first date, to cuisine that pays homage to your heritage, we take the time to understand you as a couple and create a wedding menu that tells your story. Whether you have an idea in mind, or need help creating the vision, our experts are there to help at every stage of the process. With more than 40 years’ of catering experience, you can be confident that the food for your big day is in expert hands.
Our chefs excel in creating indulgent buffets, barbecues, canapés, three-course meals and beyond. Whether you choose a bespoke menu or from our crafted selections, our sensational flavours will exceed your expectations, combining locally sourced ingredients and expert culinary techniques to ensure the highest quality food for your special day.
As a full-service wedding caterer, we can also offer event management, coordination, floristry, and venue dressing. Our team of event managers will guide you throughout the planning process and on your special day, ensuring a stress-free, flawless celebration. Our dedicated event manager will be your key point of contact throughout the entire process and will be there on the day itself, ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible.
2 - Venue: Picking the perfect backdrop
Picking the perfect venue lays the foundations for your wedding, influencing the atmosphere, style and even logistics. When viewing and choosing venues, it is important to not only consider the aesthetics but also the location, capacity and amenities. Whether you dream of a grand country house, a chabi-chic barn or a ceremony in the city, the right venue is key to bringing your vision to life.
To help you select the perfect backdrop for your celebration, we have an array of trusted and recommended partners across Aberdeenshire. Among our exclusive partners, Logie Country House and Elsick House stand out for their timeless beauty and exquisite settings. Both with luxurious contemporary interior, offering a unique blend of old and new.
The Hudsons team also has great experience working with Cluny Castle, Glen Tanar and House of Elrick - each location offers a fantastic setting for your wedding which is sure to contribute to an unforgettable day.
For those seeking unrivalled views, The Barn @ Barra Castle provides a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding landscape, meanwhile Ballogie Estate provides the traditional allure of a Scottish Country House.
Schivas Steading, with its unique position overlooking the Aberdeenshire countryside, and The Gatsby, a splendid Victorian townhouse, add to the diverse options available, ensuring a perfect match for any celebration.
3 - Photographer: Capturing lasting memories
Hiring a talented photographer is essential to preserving the memories from your special day. From candid moments to posed portraits, the right professionals will capture the essence of your celebration, allowing you to relive those cherished moments for years to come.
To make your decision that little bit easier, we can recommend an array of photographers that we have worked alongside in the past that offer a range of styles from vibrant and colourful shots, to photographers who can capture a more warm, romantic and natural feel.
You may also wish to consider a wedding content creator that can capture thousands of authentic moments throughout your day. Wedding content creators can capture a genuine, unfiltered look into the tiniest details of your celebration. Together with the beautiful shots from your photographer and/or videographer, a wedding content creator captures the essence of your day in an authentic way.
Make your wedding a day to remember
Take the first steps in your wedding journey by considering these three important elements. With these first big decisions crossed off your list, you’ll be well on your way to creating the wedding day that you always envisioned. At Hudsons Catering, we’re here to support you every step of the way, ensuring your journey to the altar is as smooth and delightful as the day itself.
