Catering your wedding with canapés and finger food
Finger food and canapés have become a lasting trend in wedding catering due to their ability to offer a diverse range of taste sensations while providing a unique touch to your special day. As seasoned wedding caterers, we at Fed by Jed have had the pleasure of catering numerous weddings with finger food, and we can attest to the fact that it has become increasingly popular for several notable reasons:
1. Finger food and canapés offer variety and creativity
Firstly, one of the biggest advantages of catering with finger food and canapés during your wedding is the freedom it provides for variety and creativity. When planning your wedding menu, you can select a diverse range of taste possibilities. From mini bruschetta to rice paper rolls, arancini balls to teriyaki salmon skewers and even bite-sized desserts - the options are extensive.
At Fed by Jed, we take pride in offering a diverse assortment of canapé and finger food options that cater to a variety of palates and preferences. The menu ranges from exquisite traditional choices to innovative contemporary creations - ensuring there is always something to delight every guest at your wedding.

2. Finger food and canapés offer something for everyone
Our canapé menu is completely customisable, ensuring you are able to serve precisely what you desire, rather than being locked in to a designated package. Select your favourite hot or cold bite sized morsels to enjoy with your guests during your big day!
At Fed by Jed, you have the freedom to select from an extensive collection tailored to suit your wedding needs. Whether you prefer hot or cold finger food and canapés, we have a diverse range of options to cater to your specific preferences. Whatever your wedding calls for, you can select a range of finger options destined to please every guest while meeting your personal needs.
Plus, finger food and canapés allow you to cater to your guests dietary requirements.

3. Finger food and canapés encourage social interaction
The nature of serving finger food and canapés intuitively encourages social interaction among wedding guests. Rather than having a traditional, formal, sit-down meal, these bite-sized pieces enable guests to mingle and enjoy the reception without being confined to a designated table for an extended period. Giving guests the option to walk around and mingle or sit if they prefer creates a warm and relaxed wedding atmosphere where friends and family can engage more freely with one another. Utilise our serving staff to ensure the food is served throughout your guests as they continue mingling.
4. Finger food and canapés provide elegance and sophistication
There was a time when finger food was seen as a casual dining experience - something reserved for cocktail hour rather than the main reception. However, as times have changed so too have the options offered during a wedding reception. Finger food and canapés can be utilised for those wanting a more casual dining experience for their guests, but it can also exude elegance and sophistication when presented thoughtfully.
Fed by Jed understand the balance that allows your wedding to achieve the desired atmosphere. By skillfully crafting our canapés and presenting them on individual serving boats or platters, the food becomes a beautiful and refined addition to your wedding. Just imagine delicate mini prawn rolls with avocado aioli, creamy tarragon chicken vol-au-vents, or Chinese hoisin duck pancakes - all elegantly displayed on platters or passed by our attentive servers.
5. Finger food and canapés offer flexibility in reception venue choice
Opting for finger food and canapés provides greater flexibility in your choice of wedding venues. Rather than being limited to venues with full kitchen facilities and designated formal dining setups, you can consider a wider range of locations for your celebration. Imagine anything from a rustic barn, outdoor garden or chic urban warehouse venue. Finger food and canapé wedding catering will seamlessly adapt to any setting. Choose the venue that truly reflects your wedding vision and add finger food and canapés to bring it to fruition.
At Fed by Jed, we understand the significance of curating a culinary experience that aligns with your wedding vision. Our local chef will work closely with you to design a menu that is both delectable and visually stunning in the selection of finger food and canapés, tailored directly to your taste and specific preferences. We pride ourselves on bringing quality and impeccable service to every wedding we cater.
