Fun Food Ideas

If you are planning a summer wedding then you can really have fun with your wedding food. Picnics, barbecues and ice-cream vans will be something fun and quirky that your wedding guests are not likely to have seen at weddings before and can also make for more budget-friendly wedding food ideas, compared to a traditional sit-down wedding breakfast. Alternatively this style of wedding food will be great for your evening guests and can really add to a relaxed party atmosphere.

If you are lucky enough to have sun on your wedding day then a summer-themed wedding menu will suit perfectly, but even if the weather is not on your side, then your guests will still enjoy summer treats in the warmth and cover of a marquee. We take a look at some delicious ideas for summer wedding food from local Irish wedding suppliers.
