It\u2019s no great surprise I guess \u2013 the food served by Kemp &amp; Kemp Catering is always designed around each and every couple and is crafted to reflect each couple\u2019s personalities, likes, influences and idiosyncrasies \u2013 like the time Karen managed to create a menu to reflect (in equal measure) Persia, Yorkshire and Australia! Now you wouldn\u2019t get that with a Menu A, Menu B approach!<\/p><p>Naturally, with such individualism, we\u2019ve also seen uniquely lateral approaches to other aspects of wedding plans, including what one might think are quite mundane things like guest place-names.<\/p><p>The first of two that really stand out were the couple who used little Lego people. They bought 80 different characters each reflecting the professions and background of their guests. The huge range of characters available allowed for office workers, farmers, dog-owners, medical people, stockbrokers, gardeners, astronauts \u2013 and with their names written on little bases, it was the perfect solution that really showed care and thought for each guest as well as a talking point for guests who had never met \u2013 \u201cso let me guess what you do for a living\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce7dd09\" data-id=\"ce7dd09\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-236b066 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"236b066\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/kempandkempcatering.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lego-cropped-sfw-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3516\" alt=\"DIY Wedding Ideas\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kempandkempcatering.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lego-cropped-sfw-1.jpg 275w, https:\/\/kempandkempcatering.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/lego-cropped-sfw-1-223x300.jpg 223w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-da259fc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"da259fc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f3da3a1\" data-id=\"f3da3a1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12c39ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"12c39ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"236\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/kempandkempcatering.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/scrabble-sfw.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3514\" alt=\"DIY Wedding Ideas\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kempandkempcatering.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/scrabble-sfw.jpg 236w, https:\/\/kempandkempcatering.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/scrabble-sfw-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b88b792\" data-id=\"b88b792\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-715db79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"715db79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another brilliant idea at another very memorable wedding was to spell out guest\u2019s names in Scrabble letters arranged on the little tile holders you can get. This was well received by guests who of course thought the place names were solely so they could find their places! Once they\u2019d found their places, they all then proceeded to re-arrange the letters to spell out the most outrageous variants, many of them unprintable here! All hilarious, until the waiting staff came to find \u2018Lucy Davies\u2019 eating the beef on table 7, only to find \u2018devil saucy\u2019- \u2013 and then we found \u2018tumeric wash\u2019 \u2013 formerly \u2018Marcus White\u2019 sitting next to her.<\/p><p>This made the food service slightly less than the smooth, unobtrusive job it normally is when we can find people in the midst of a Medieval barn with no problem at all.<\/p><p>We\u2019ve had names on ivy leaves (that all blew away), place names in marquetry (for every single guest \u2013 the groom was starting his own business!) as well as more conventional approaches, but I still think it was the Lego people that was my all-time fave \u2013 at least so far!<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #d49b48;\"><strong><em>Richard and Karen<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past 10 years Karen and I have catered over 400 weddings from North Yorkshire to North London and in that time, we\u2019ve met some VERY creative people with equally creative ideas.
