What do they eat at celebrity weddings?

Everyone loves to look at photos from celebrity weddings and learn details about them. What was on the bride? What did the groom look like? How did you decorate the ceremony area? Who came to the celebration? But you know what is no less interesting – what do they feed guests at celebrity weddings? Surely something unusual is served at such events! We have done research and are ready to tell you what chefs of popular couples served to guests. Pour coffee and make yourself comfortable – gastronomic pleasure is ahead.

Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian invited many celebrities to the wedding and held a gala reception.

But the event was still in the style of the young, so the bride flaunted on the dance floor in sneakers, and the dinner was organized in a very unusual way. The guests were served tartare for a snack, and then they were sent to separate buffet tables, on each of which stood:

• Italian cuisine
• fresh salads
• South American cuisine
• steaks
• Armenian cuisine dishes
• Fish and seafood
• energy for those who want to replenish their strength

After dinner, guests were offered not only a cake, but also desserts for every taste. It seems that no one managed to leave this wedding hungry!

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves chose a mixture of two cultures as their wedding theme (Matthew from the USA and Camila from Brazil). The menu reflected the idea of the holiday – on the tables there were crispy bacon, mouth-watering brisket, fried okra, Brazilian cheese buns and crayfish.

Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman decided to only serve food at their party that would not harm the environment. Despite the restrictions, the guests of the couple were clearly not left without a tasty treat:

• scallops
• pasta with truffle and cheese
• grass-fed lamb
• vegan burgers
• farm cheese with organic honey
• coconut panna cotta

Dwayne Johnson and Laura Hashian served guests a sumptuous wedding breakfast. The guests could start with fragrant bread, a variety of sausages, farm cheeses and fresh fruits. Then followed the feast, where everyone found their favorite dish – from pancakes with maple syrup to airy frittata with cheese, broccoli and smoked bacon. They washed down breakfast not with tea, but with sparkling wine – Veuve Clicquot.

The celebrity wedding of George and Amal Clooney took place in Venice, so the menu largely consisted of Italian dishes. Guests were served potatoes in champagne with black truffle, lemon lobster risotto, beef with porcini mushrooms and sea bass with vegetables. Drinks included collectible wine and Casamigos tequila, a brand created by George’s company. Dessert is a giant chocolate cake.

However, George and Amal were not the first to arrange a wedding in Italy. Two years before, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel served guests in Puglia with lobster, mini caprese salads, juicy steaks, fresh sea bass and a delicious affogato for dessert. There was also a wedding cake, and a touching story is connected with it – Justin’s grandfather could not fly to the wedding due to illness, and his grandmother stayed with him. Therefore, Justin sent their pieces of cake to America for five thousand kilometers in order for loved ones to feel part of the holiday.

From the wedding of Beyonce and Jay Z , you can only expect the most unusual dishes from chefs with several Michelin stars. But the couple surprised everyone by asking families to cook their favorite meals. So the bride helped her mother cook, and the groom’s grandmother made stewed oxtails.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen staged a real star wedding in Italy on Lake Como. Although nothing is known about what they fed the guests, we do know that a huge four-tiered cake was served for dessert. Carrot cake is not the most frequent choice of young people, especially famous ones.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk also liked mini carrot cakes , but we know almost everything about their main menu. Celebrity chef Francis Mullman flew to New York from Argentina to host a dinner on the eve of the wedding: cook over an open fire juicy bone-in rib-eye, vegetables and his signature dish – pineapples, which are baked for 12 hours, after which they can be eaten soft even with the peel.

Mallman also served wild salmon in a salt crust with tartar sauce:

On the day of the celebration, another well-known chef, Mario Carbone, was in charge of the kitchen. Gwyneth and Brad chose him not only for his professionalism, but also for nostalgic reasons, because their first date took place in one of Mario’s restaurants. The chef’s menu consisted of fresh crabs, specialty tortellini with king prawns, duck in honey mustard sauce and autumn vegetables.

It would be unfair to forget about the royals, although their celebrations can hardly be called celebrity weddings. Prince William and Kate Middleton invited 600 guests to a gala dinner at Buckingham Palace, feeding them what can be found on the lands of Great Britain or in the waters close to it. Starters included marinated salmon, lime crab, langoustines and a fresh salad. As the main course, the guests tasted a juicy saddle of lamb with vegetables, asparagus, potatoes and Windsor sauce. For dessert, there was a sweet trio: Berkshire honey ice cream, traditional trifle and chocolate parfait. Not without a wedding cake with fruit filling:

Despite the fact that another royal wedding – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – was expected to have a menu made up of British and American cuisine, this did not happen. The plates on the tables of the guests were filled with food from the United Kingdom, although it was not without the influence of Meghan, who tried to make sure that only organic products were used for cooking. Examples of dishes served to guests:

• Scottish langoustines wrapped in slices of smoked salmon and flavored with lemon cream sauce
• garden pea panna cotta with quail eggs and lemon verbena
• Windsor lamb with fried vegetables and onion jam

The couple broke away on an unconventional wedding cake, choosing an unusual dessert for the British monarchy – a lemon biscuit, cream (not fondant) and fresh flower decoration. However, they paid tribute to the traditions anyway – in the manufacture, elderberry syrup was used, obtained from flowers grown on the estate of Queen Elizabeth in Sandringham.
