Poppy & Oli's Wilderness Reserve Wedding
Poppy and Oli had their eyes on Wilderness Reserve as a place to visit before a wedding was seemingly on the cards. However when the couple booked a last minute stay featuring a beautiful bonfire experience and tour of the estate, Oli asked Poppy whether it was a venue she could imagine getting married in, to which she said yes! Oli replied, “let’s put those plans into action” before getting down on one knee and asking Poppy to marry him. And that’s where the wedding planning began! In 2022, we were delighted to cater Poppy and Oli’s special day as part of their weekend-long wedding extravaganza by GSP Events.
Our chefs catered a bridal party lunch in the magnificent Sibton House, and groom’s lunch within one of the picturesque walled gardens, with a menu featuring Seared Bavette Steak with Rocket and Herb Stem Chimichurri and an array of salads including Miso Roasted Aubergine Wedges with Sesame Vegan Mayonnaise, and Seasonal Green Garden Salad with Peas, Toasted Seeds and House Vinaigrette.
The menu our chefs designed for Poppy and Oli’s wedding incorporated zero-waste, root-to-leaf dishes and the best local, seasonal ingredients such as allotment grown heritage tomatoes, as well as luxurious components including sustainable sourced sashimi grade tuna, free-range corn-fed chicken, and the ultimate luxury; summer truffle.
