Why it works: the theatre
A 500°C wood-fired oven doesn't hide in a catering tent — it becomes part of the wedding. Guests drift over with a glass in hand, watch the flames roar and see their pizza emerge charred and leopard-spotted 90 seconds later. It gives a reception something most catering never manages: a focal point between the ceremony and the first dance, and a talking point that strangers on table nine can bond over.
Why it works: every guest, catered
Weddings gather the widest possible spread of appetites — great-aunts, vegans, coeliacs, fussy nephews — and pizza handles all of them without a seating-plan spreadsheet. Guests choose what they want, when they want it. We offer vegetarian options as standard, vegan cheese on request and gluten-free alternatives, all handled with the care of a 5-star food hygiene rating. Nobody gets the “dietary requirement” plate that looks like an afterthought.
Why it works: smart luxury
A formal plated dinner ties up a large slice of a wedding budget in cutlery polishing, staffing ratios and course choreography. Wood-fired catering puts that money where guests actually notice it — in food cooked to order in front of them. Starting from £12 per head, couples routinely redirect the difference into the band, the bar or the honeymoon. It isn't the cheap option; it's the option that spends well. Our pricing page breaks the numbers down properly.
And then there's the late-night service — the secret weapon. Two hours into the dancing, when the wedding breakfast is a distant memory, a fresh round of pizzas from the oven lands like a standing ovation. Ask any couple what their guests still talk about.
How it flows on the day
We arrive ahead of service and set up in around an hour— gardens, courtyards, marquee edges and venue grounds all work, and the oven doesn't need mains electricity. From there, service bends around your day rather than the other way round. There are no synchronised covers and no cold plates waiting under cloches: guests simply order fresh from the oven whenever they're hungry, and the pizzas keep coming for as long as you've booked us.
We handle everything food-related — plates, napkins, sauces, rubbish — so your venue and your wedding party don't lift a finger. The full service is laid out on our wedding pizza catering page.
