A Dreamy Seaside Wedding in Corfu – Where Elegance Meets Personalized Catering
When it comes to weddings, every couple dreams of a day that feels effortless, elegant, and deeply personal. At Private Chefs Lab, we specialize in turning these dreams into reality by creating exceptional catering experiences that reflect each couple’s unique vision.
One of our favorite weddings took place on a beautiful summer afternoon by the Ionian Sea, where a couple from the UK wanted an intimate yet elegant celebration with Mediterranean flavors, warm hospitality, and a relaxed but refined atmosphere.
A Personalized Wedding Dining Experience
From our very first conversation with the couple, they emphasized that they wanted a wedding that felt authentic, fresh, and joyful, where guests could savor incredible food without the formality of a rigid, traditional reception.
With this in mind, we designed a bespoke menu that blended local Corfiot ingredients with modern culinary artistry, creating a refined yet approachable dining experience.
A Menu Inspired by the Ionian Summer
Welcome Bites & Aperitif
- Mini Spanakopita Tartlets – A modern take on a Greek classic, with crispy phyllo and a creamy feta-spinach filling.
- Grilled Halloumi & Honey Crostini – A delicious balance of sweet and savory, with locally sourced thyme honey.
- Fresh Seafood Mezze Platters – Featuring marinated octopus, citrus-infused shrimp, and olive oil-poached sea bass, all sourced from the morning’s local fish market.
Main Course: Sharing, Family-Style
- Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder, marinated in oregano, garlic, and lemon, served with roasted seasonal vegetables.
- Handmade Corfiot Pastitsada, a traditional braised beef dish with aromatic spices, served over fresh pasta.
- Wood-Fired Grilled Sea Bream, finished with a lemon-herb dressing and served with golden roasted potatoes.
A Sweet Ending
- Citrus & Vanilla Bean Pavlova, topped with fresh Corfiot kumquats & whipped Greek yogurt.
- Chocolate & Hazelnut Baklava Rolls, served with a homemade espresso liqueur drizzle.
The couple loved the idea of a laid-back yet elegant dining experience, where guests could interact, share dishes, and truly enjoy the moment without feeling constrained by a formal plated service.
Affordability Without Compromising Quality
Many couples assume that high-end catering automatically means unattainable pricing, but at Private Chefs Lab, we specialize in tailoring each wedding menu to match different budgets.
In this case, the couple wanted an experience that felt lavish yet natural, and by carefully selecting seasonal ingredients and focusing on a family-style service approach, we created a stunning wedding menu at a price that fit within their budget.
📌 Customizable Options: Whether you’re looking for a seated fine-dining experience, a buffet-style feast, or a more interactive live-station format, we can adapt our menus, service style, and pricing to match your needs.
A Wedding Dinner to Remember
As the sun set over the Ionian horizon, the couple and their guests enjoyed a perfectly paced evening filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and the aroma of slow-roasted lamb and freshly baked bread filling the air.
From the first bite to the final sip of Greek liqueur, this wedding was a true reflection of what we do best—delivering outstanding catering in Corfu that is personalized, elegant, and completely stress-free for the couple.
