BBC World Service - The Food Chain, What the wedding caterer is really thinking

The thrills and spills of putting on a celebratory feast

The thrills and spills of putting on a celebratory feast.

Going to a wedding this year?  

Spare a thought for the caterers - expected to put on ever-more elaborate feasts in ever-more challenging conditions. 

In this episode, three wedding caterers - in India, the US and the UK - share anecdotes about demanding guests, make-shift hillside kitchens and emergency trips to hospital. 

Warning: if you’re a bride- or groom-to-be, this programme might just give you a case of the jitters. 

You can share your tales of wedding banquet triumphs and disasters by emailing thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk
