From our couples
“WOW. - The main word that was used when talking about the food at my wedding. I first spoke to Chris and Lara about a year before my wedding and we spoke about some options that they could make for us. We causally mentioned that me and my partner met in Latin America and we loved Latin American cuisine. Chris and Lara jumped on this and became really excited. They experimented with some dishes and they sent us over some menu options they could create! We were absolutely blown away by their enthusiasm and effort that went into creating a Latin themed dinner as this was not on their typical menu. When it came to trying their food on the wedding day our taste buds exploded! They nailed the brief and created the most flavour filled Jerk Chicken and sides. Even the Latin Americans that had travelled from Central and South America said how great it was. The biggest hit of the night that our guests have not stopped talking about is the street Tacos they made for our evening food. People queued up to try get a third serving as they were so tasty! I can’t recommend Latitudes enough, they were prompt to respond to emails, their food is fantastic and their whole team were such a delight to work with. Thank you for creating the most delicious food for our wedding!!”
“Guys, we don't know how to thank you enough. The food was incredible, and the staff were fantastic. We got so many compliments, even from Reni who's actually Indonesian (and very picky). The Rendang- spot on. Honestly fabulous, and really helped to make it such a special day (despite the shite weather)!”
“We just wanted to say thank you SO much for all of the incredible food and service you provided for our wedding weekend. It really was the best weekend of our lives and the delicious food played a huge part of it! We had so many compliments on the canapés, the Greek sharing platters, the paella and especially the bruschetta bar, which everyone loved and thought was such a nice touch! We are so grateful to you and your team for all the hard work and the amazing food. Thank you!!!”
