The Traditionalist Couple

The Exclusionary Couple, likewise, veers towards a traditional wedding, but one that is more intimate and exclusive. Sometimes, this calls for a well-ventilated ballroom to accommodate various unique arrangements. As for the food, such couples may prefer menus that allow for better choice or budget control.
The Unconventional Couple
There is more room to experiment when it comes to Unconventional Couples. For example, they may prefer a private outdoor event in a garden or pool for a truly distinctive once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The Adventurers
Similarly, Adventurers seek unconventional weddings but go even further by exploring outdoor venues like the seaside – places that provide the perfect alfresco backdrop to share intimate moments with their guests. These couples value individualism, so giving them the freedom to personalise their menus will surely bring great delight. To make their big day even more special, you may even want to include a dish from the groom’s hometown, a treat from the bride’s childhood or a dessert from the city where they first met!
