Brabant wallon hosts weddings in farms and estates, which is to say in venues that almost never have a real restaurant kitchen. The caterer arrives with their equipment, their refrigeration and their team, and that is what decides what they can serve. Of the 8 caterers in the directory for this province, only 1 has its address there: the others come up from Brussels, from Hainaut or from elsewhere, which is common in this trade. Before comparing menus, compare what each venue puts at their disposal.

What cuisine do you have in mind?

7 caterers do fine dining and 7 Mediterranean, but 4 also take on street food.

Or by province

1 is based in Brabant wallon, 7 come from a neighbouring province. In this trade, travelling is normal.

How to choose your caterer in Brabant wallon

  1. 1See the kitchen before signing the menuIn a farmstead, the service kitchen is often a bare room with a water point. Ask the caterer to see it before promising you a dish plated to the minute.
  2. 2A barbecue is planned with the venue5 caterers offer bbq, but not every estate allows fire in the courtyard or near old buildings. Ask both, not just one.
  3. 3Count the journey in the timing, not in the price7 caterers out of 8 come from another province. What costs you is not the kilometres, it is when the team arrives and how long the day runs.
  4. 4Dietary needs are declared early5 caterers offer vegetarian and 4 world cuisine. A vegetarian plate planned from the start beats a dish pulled from the menu at the last minute.
  5. 5Wine, water and breakage are priced separatelyDrinks are almost always outside the menu and corkage varies from one venue to the next. Ask for the price per person with everything included, otherwise you compare quotes that do not cover the same thing.

The five questions to ask the caterer

  • Have you been to our venue before, and what does its kitchen let you do?
  • How many floor staff do you plan for our number of guests?
  • What exactly does the price per person include, drinks, staff, tableware and cleaning?
  • Can we have a tasting before we settle the menu, and is it charged?
  • How late does your team stay on site, and who clears up?

What it costs

Count roughly between 60 € and 150 € per person for a full meal, drinks not included. Service, crockery and cleaning quickly tip a quote from one end of that range to the other.

  • ·Street food comes back at dessert and late in the evening, when guests get hungry a second time.
  • ·The menu is built around seasonal produce rather than a signature dish.
  • ·A real vegetarian option is now on the standard menu, not an extra on request.

Frequently asked questions

How many caterers cover Walloon Brabant on wewed?

8 caterers, of which only 1 is based in the province and 7 come from elsewhere. On the food side, 7 offer fine dining, 7 Mediterranean, 6 French, 5 barbecue, 5 Italian, 5 vegetarian, 4 street food and 4 a world cuisine.

Does the venue impose its own caterer?

It depends on the venue. The estates and farms of the province often leave you the choice, sometimes within an imposed list. Ask the question on the first visit, it is what opens or closes half of your options.

When should you book?

As soon as the venue and the date are set. The caterer needs to know what kitchen is available and roughly how many guests there will be, and the best teams are booked a long way ahead for summer Saturdays.

The meal is what people remember
