Late-night snacks for hungry wedding guests
Late-night snacks are a fun and memorable addition to any wedding. They’re great to surprise your guests and keep the energy going.
After hours of dancing and celebrating, people often get hungry again, and offering a tasty treat like mini burgers, pizza slices, doughnut walls, or taco stations can be a total crowd-pleaser. It’s also a great opportunity to show off your personality as a couple with nostalgic favourites, regional bites, or creative comfort food. Guests will rave about the extra touch long after the night ends!
Whether it’s a gooey woodfire pizza served under the stars, a tower of espresso martinis to keep the energy flowing, or a cheeky taco-and-tequila pairing that sparks a second wind, late-night snacks are fast becoming a wedding must-have. From indulgent roaming cannoli and fried chicken boxes to interactive stations like gelato carts, cheese boards, or even a fortune cookie wall, these after-hours bites are a tasty treat that keep the celebration going long after the cake has been cut.

Cheese board/cheese cart
For those who don’t have a sweet tooth and might have skipped the cake, a cheese board is an ideal option for a late-night snack. A cheese board is a time to let your imagination run wild and cater to all different tastes, from bitey blue cheese to creamy bries and camemberts. A hard cheddar is always a winner, and no cheese board is complete without a touch of quince and even some honey.

From cosmos to Malibus, the world is your oyster (well, fruity mojito) when choosing sweet cocktails.
