Wedding Catering Trends 2025: What's on the Menu This Year?

Planning a wedding in 2025? Then you already know that food is no longer just a side note on your big day — it’s the main event for many couples. More and more, we’re seeing wedding menus that tell stories, reflect personalities, and create moments people talk about long after the cake is cut.

Here at KL Events, we’ve worked on everything from laid-back outdoor grazing tables to luxury plated dinners. And trust us — the trends we’re seeing this year are all about experience, sustainability, and creative expression.

Flavour Meets Values

Farm-to-table menus are still going strong, and it’s easy to see why. Not only does it mean fresher, seasonal ingredients, but it also supports local growers and reduces environmental impact. Think local Norfolk cheeses, free-range meats, and heirloom veggies that actually taste like something.

Global Fusion is In

We’re seeing a growing appetite for bold flavours and cultural mash-ups. Mediterranean mezze with an Asian twist? Caribbean canapés with French finesse? Why not. It’s a brilliant way to nod to heritage or just serve something you absolutely love eating.

It’s Personal

Forget cookie-cutter buffets. Couples want food that reflects them — whether that’s a menu inspired by where they met, their travels together, or simply their all-time favourite dishes. We’ve even done His & Hers cocktail menus and late-night snacks based on their go-to takeaways.

Drinks Worth Talking About

Beverage stations are stepping up. From curated champagne walls to espresso martinis on tap, couples are putting just as much thought into their drinks as their food. Bonus points for interactive elements — guests love seeing a mixologist in action.

Make it Move

Interactive food stations are a huge hit. From bao bun bars to risotto cooked on the spot, guests get a front-row seat to the action — and plates tailored to their tastes.

Don’t Forget Dessert

Grazing tables aren’t going anywhere, but they’re evolving. Dessert spreads now include plant-based options, floral garnishes, and local artisan sweets. Pretty and indulgent? Yes please.

Your Menu, Your Moment

The big takeaway? Your wedding menu should feel like you. Whether that’s indulgent comfort food with a luxury twist, or an elegant multi-course dinner with international flair — we’ll help you bring it to life.
