The reception at Rippon Lea was generally coordinated well, and the food was great! However it was tricky with the event coordinator being changed 3 times between the time of the booking and the wedding, and as a result some minor instructions were not passed onto the relevant staff. We would have also preferred a bit more transparency upfront about the potential costs - some things we found out several months after we had confirmed the booking.

How many canapes should you serve during cocktail hour at a wedding?

Peter Rowland

If the canapes are to be served during pre-dinner drinks on arrival, prior to guests sitting down for three course meal, we suggest approximately 3 or 4 canapes for a half hour period or 6 to 8 canapes for a one hour duration. You'd want to mix these up with a selection of hot and cold items as well as a variety of ingredients including seafood, beef, vegetarian, chicken and vegetarian for example.
