When planning your wedding, the season or time of the year is a very important factor to consider. Hosting a winter banquet for your wedding and reception adds a unique charm, creating a memorable celebration with stunning seasonal aesthetics. Andre’s Banquets and Catering has several locations that are perfect to play host to the most perfect wintertime wedding in St. Louis.
Benefits of a Winter Wedding
One of the benefits of hosting a winter banquet is the potential cost savings. Winter is considered the off-season for many venues and vendors, allowing you to take advantage of discounted or off-season pricing. Andre’s Banquets and Catering offers discounted pricing at all of their locations in the winter months. One reason for this is the weather can be a little unpredictable.
Embrace the beauty of winter with a light dusting of snow as your backdrop, creating breathtaking wedding photos! While winter weather can be unpredictable, proper planning ensures a smooth day. Options like shuttle services or carpools help mitigate travel challenges, and Andre’s Banquets and Catering has a comprehensive winter weather plan for all our locations to keep your event running seamlessly.
Winter Decor
There are so many options for decorations and the atmosphere you wish to create for your winter wedding. Many locations such as Andre’s at Seven T Farms and GlenMark Farm have an outdoor fire pit. The smell and sound of crackling cedar burning as your guests enjoy the outdoors and the cool crisp air can give the perfect setting for a winter wedding in St. Louis. That’s in addition to keeping your guests warm and cozy. You can incorporate lots of garland and twinkle lights to help make your setting very cozy too. Winter florals such as pine can be bold and deep in color and often give off the perfect scent to make you dream that you are in a winter wonderland. Using holly and berries can also help give that winter theme with subtle hints of the holidays. Be sure to ask your venue if they change their décor for the season or even use any holiday decorations. Andre’s Banquet’s and Catering offers holiday décor in the package at their in-house locations. You can expect to find wreaths, Christmas trees and even pine incorporated in the lighting.
Wedding Food
Enhance your winter banquet experience with unique, seasonal food options. Delight your guests with interactive stations like a “smores bar” or a “hot chocolate bar” or “specialty coffee bar” complete with toppings like marshmallows, peppermint, and flavored whipped creams. These additions not only warm your guests but also create an unforgettable experience.
Andre’s Banquets and Catering offers a coffee station at every event and loves infusing your unique enhancements. As you plan and design your wedding cake, keep the winter theme and taste in mind. Surprise your guests with a mouthful of the perfect winter flavored cake such as spiced, eggnog or peppermint chocolate mousse. By carrying the winter theme all the way through your event to the desserts, you will leave a lasting impression of your wedding and reception on your guests.
Wedding Winter Weather
Planning a winter wedding can be fun and enjoyable. Even if you get an unseasonably warm day in the winter, it is still going to be cold when the sun goes down. Brides can incorporate stylish and functional pieces like faux fur coats, shawls, or long-sleeved gowns to stay warm while looking stunning. .
