Wedding Dessert Catering

Typically, wedding dessert vendors deliver your goodies for the wedding day and then head out, letting you arrange your sweets in a wedding dessert bar just how you dreamed. If an attended station is more your style for wedding dessert catering, we recommend an edible experience like The Cupcake Bar, a full-service interactive wedding dessert bar. Guests choose their intended cake flavor, filling, icing and load it up with fun toppings. Their creative Cupcake Bartenders assemble and serve each custom treat, ready to eat!

Dessert for Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

Choosing your dessert for wedding rehearsal dinner guests should be simple and sweet since the big shebang will be happening soon after and is sure to be full of treats (and maybe even a wedding dessert bar). We recommend sticking to classic favorites like cookies emblazoned with you and your partner’s initials, cupcakes, or classy and light macarons for a rehearsal lunch dessert. Then, relax and soak in the fact that you are about to marry the love of your life – the sweetest treat of them all!
