Wedding Catering

The gastronomic part of a wedding is an essential part of the celebration atmosphere. The Concept Catering team helps design the menu, serving format, and catering organization for your special day.

About Wedding Catering

A wedding consists of many episodes: welcoming guests, the ceremony, the first toast, dinner, the cake and an evening that usually ends much later than planned. Each stage has its own rhythm — and wedding catering should follow it.

Concept Catering organizes wedding banquets and buffets in Moscow and beyond. We develop the menu, build the service and coordinate our team with the venue and organizers so that the gastronomic part naturally follows the scenario of the wedding day.

A Menu in the Rhythm of the Wedding Day

We see the wedding menu not just as a set of dishes, but as part of the scenario.

Welcome buffet and drinks for arriving guests
Appetizers and main courses of the wedding banquet
Separate kids’ or special menu
Dessert table
Wedding cake service
Late-night snacks to keep the evening going

We align the order and timing of service with the program so that the kitchen and service never compete with the ceremony, speeches and other important moments.

Banquet, Buffet or Mixed Format

A classic wedding banquet involves guest seating, table setting and courses served in sequence. A buffet offers more freedom and suits intimate weddings, welcome zones or events without traditional seating.

Most often the formats can be combined: start with a welcome buffet before an off-site ceremony, continue with a banquet, and later in the evening open additional food stations or serve late-night snacks.

We suggest a format based on the venue, the number of guests, the program and the overall atmosphere of the wedding — tradition should not get in the way of common sense.

Custom Menu and Tasting

The menu is created around the couple’s preferences, the guest list, the season and the venue’s capabilities. If necessary, we adapt dishes to dietary restrictions or create items specifically for the wedding.

Before the event, you can hold a tasting of the selected dishes. It lets you evaluate taste, presentation and combinations in advance and calmly approve the final wedding menu.

[ Wedding at an Off-Site Venue ]

A country venue, a tent, private grounds or a space without its own kitchen require additional preparation. We assess the location in advance and plan the field kitchen, equipment, water, electricity, logistics and the service team’s work.

Guests will never see part of this work. And that is a good sign.

Cost of Wedding Catering

Once the parameters are agreed, Concept Catering will prepare a detailed commercial proposal with the calculation of the menu and required services. The cost is calculated individually and depends on:

Number of guests and menu composition
Chosen format and event duration
Number of waiters, chefs and other staff
Tableware, linens, furniture and equipment
Venue specifics and logistics
Additional food zones and services

Specify the Event Details

Tell our assistant a few key parameters: the event format, number of guests, venue, and date. This is enough for the system to prepare a starter proposal.

Preliminary Estimate

Based on the parameters you provide, we will prepare a preliminary estimate: menu, service, logistics, and the approximate cost of the event. It only takes a few seconds.

Discuss the Project

After the preliminary estimate, a Concept Catering manager will contact you, clarify your preferences, and prepare the final proposal. We will help adapt the menu, service format, and event scenario.

Tell me a little about your event, and I’ll help you choose the menu and estimate the approximate cost. In which city is the event planned?

All Cases

Wedding catering costs depend on guest numbers, menu, service style and venue. An intimate plated dinner and a large wedding banquet with several food stations require different arrangements.

We account for kitchen and service teams, tableware, furniture, linens, equipment and logistics. The wedding budget is therefore built around the actual programme rather than simply a menu price per person.

It is best to enquire early, particularly for popular summer dates or weddings with complex arrangements.

Advance planning gives us time to agree on the menu, meet, assess the venue and plan equipment and staffing. We also consider shorter-notice requests; feasibility depends on the date, event scale and our team’s current workload.

Yes. We offer wedding-menu tastings so you can assess flavours, presentation and how the dishes work together before making a final choice.

The tasting is paid for separately, with dishes, attendee numbers, venue and price agreed individually.

If you sign a wedding catering contract, the full tasting fee is credited towards your catering payment. It therefore does not become an additional expense for our clients.

Yes. We cater weddings at country venues, private residences and marquees. A permanent kitchen is not necessarily required.

We assess access to power and water, space for back-of-house operations, delivery routes and working conditions. Additional equipment can be arranged where needed. Understanding the venue in advance keeps the catering from being disrupted by avoidable technical issues.

Both formats work for 40 guests. The best choice depends on the programme, its length and the importance of traditional seated dining.

A banquet offers a full meal served at tables; a standing reception encourages movement and conversation. You can also combine them: a welcome reception before the ceremony or during the photo session, followed by a seated wedding dinner.

While the couple is taking photographs, guests can enjoy a welcome reception with drinks and canapés instead of waiting for the main celebration.

We coordinate the menu and service duration with the wedding programme. Depending on the venue, a separate welcome area can be used before guests move to the banquet tables. This creates a natural transition between parts of the day.

Wedding schedules can change, so we agree on the service sequence in advance.

If the ceremony, photo session or speeches overrun, the manager coordinates the kitchen and waitstaff around the actual schedule.

Staff hours can be extended when needed. Additional time is charged at agreed hourly rates stated in the contract beforehand, helping avoid unexpected costs.
