Just a few of the wonderful exhibitors there on the day offering unique, talented and professional services were:

The absolutely awesome vintage photo caravan booth was also in at Bawdon Lodge Farm for fun photos at the showcase.
Also entertaining the couples at the wedding Showcase were the amazing Flambe Circus Theatre, with fire shows, stilt walkers, table entertainers, living statues, bubbleologists, aerialists, dancers, glow/LED shows, walkabout characters, jugglers, living tables, balloon sculptures or acrobats.

TIPI & WEDDING CATERERS | TIPI & WEDDING BEVERAGES | TIPI & WEDDING FOOD & BEVERAGE PHOTOS
Wedding Caterers and Wedding Beverages for the Midlands, West Midlands, Birmingham, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire.
There are many choices for outdoor day & evening catering, i.e street food inspired vans, pizza caravans, crepes vans, sharing platters, food bars, champagne & oyster bars, Spanish paella, vintage cream tea, a doughnut deli, Mexican burritos, barbecue wedding breakfast, ice cream vans, popcorn stands, retro chocolate fountains or vintage ice cream tricycles and much much more………………
A huge tip if your having outdoor wedding catering for your wedding breakfast is to ensure that there is a catering tent or nearby building sufficient for tipi or outdoor catering of your wedding breakfast and the specific food required on the day.
The wedding caterer or your wedding planner or wedding organiser will be able to talk through all of this with you.
Please find some top tips below about wedding catering that we have sourced from Niche Magazine from Dimblebee Catering
Venue Approvals
Most professional venues handpick and audit caterers before approving them and are probably one of the best indicators of a caterer’s standing and quality. The grander the venue, the more stringent the approval process.
Food Safety Rating
Often overlooked, any commercial caterer must be registered, inspected and rated. Make sure their kitchen address is published and search online for their food safety rating.
Visit
Meet up with your potential caterers at their kitchen rather than set up tasting events wherever possible. This will provide a valuable insight into how and where your food is prepared, what size they are, what resources they have in place and how the business is managed.
Pricing
Quality has a price, if prices or package deals are cheap there will be a reason.
Taste Test
Once you pick your caterer, ask to meet up at their kitchens and sample a few dishes to get a real taste for the catering and to help define your menu choices- the proof is in the pudding so to speak! Simon Cox - Dimblee Catering

We are sure there are many more outdoor or Tipi Wedding Caterers & wedding beverage companies out there to choose from and we would advise asking your wedding venue, tipi supplier or other wedding suppliers which wedding caterers & wedding beverage suppliers they have worked with which they would recommend.
