XiaoFei & Sam's Wedding at Chapel Ridge | Central Coast Wedding Catering
When it comes to wedding venues on the Central Coast, Chapel Ridge offers something truly special. Surrounded by beautiful green fields and featuring a stunning chapel with soaring glass windows, it creates an unforgettable backdrop for couples wanting a celebration that feels both elegant and connected to nature.
We had the pleasure of catering Xiaofei and Sam's beautiful wedding at Chapel Ridge, where 51 of their closest family and friends gathered to celebrate their marriage on a perfect day filled with sunshine, great food and meaningful moments.
A Beautiful Day at Chapel Ridge
The weather could not have been better as guests arrived at Chapel Ridge and took in the stunning surrounds of the property. The venue's picturesque grounds provided the perfect setting for the day, while the chapel itself offered a beautiful and intimate space for the ceremony.
One of the standout features of Chapel Ridge is its striking glass window, which fills the chapel with natural light and creates a breathtaking backdrop as couples exchange their vows. It was the perfect setting for Xiaofei and Sam to begin this next chapter together.
Following the ceremony, the couple spent time exploring the lush green surrounds of the venue for their photographs, making the most of everything this beautiful Central Coast location has to offer.
Roaming Canapés Among the Gardens
Our team began service with a selection of roaming canapés, moving through the crowd with platters of freshly prepared food while guests mingled, shared stories and enjoyed the atmosphere of the afternoon.
Canapé service is always a wonderful way to begin a wedding celebration. It encourages guests to move around, connect with one another and settle into the festivities while enjoying a variety of flavours before dinner.
An Elegant Plated Dining Experience
Following cocktail hour, guests made their way into the reception space where they were treated to a beautifully presented plated dining experience.
Xiaofei and Sam chose a plated entrée followed by a plated main course, creating a dining experience that felt refined, seamless and perfectly suited to the style of their celebration.
Plated dining remains a popular choice for couples wanting a more formal wedding experience, allowing guests to relax and enjoy each course while our team takes care of every detail. It creates a sense of occasion and allows each dish to be carefully presented exactly as intended by our chefs.
