Q We're having a relaxed and informal wedding and, as we're both real foodies, would love to wow our guests with a tasty menu. What do you suggest?
A Justin Mullender says: If you're looking for the wow factor with your wedding food, choose a menu that has a great range of options that will suit your guests' expectations. Ensure you have a meat, a fish and a vegetarian option and everyone will be happy. Why not widen your food options by spreading food moments throughout your day. Choose some fun canapes to accompany bubbles for straight after your ceremony to complement a sit-down wedding breakfast while ensuring you and your guests experience lots of lovely different flavours. Look out for a supplier that has a good reputation for fabulous menus and you'll be well remembered for hosting a great foodie wedding.

Q Food is hugely important to us as a couple, so we want to wow our guests with a tasty menu. However, our venue is informal and relaxed. What should we feed everyone?
A Tom Long says: Your wedding day is as much about how you and your guests feel as it is about the finer details of the day. The beauty of pizza is its versatility – there really are no limits on what you can put on one, so it's a great opportunity to get creative and show off your style. It's the perfect wedding food if your day is fun and informal, plus you also don't have to sacrifice essential party time by having a sit down meal! You can go fancy and flavoursome with goats' cheese, spinach and caramelised onion, or try 'nduja; a spicy Italian sausage meat; paired with cool mascarpone. You can even keep things simple with a classic margherita or pepperoni using high quality ingredients.
