Your Wedding with Lillie’s

Congratulations!

Planning your dream wedding may seem like a daunting task, but don’t worry, at Lillie’s we have been catering for wedding receptions since 1999.

So, with our experience and contacts and your imagination and ideas, we can provide the memorable wedding you’ve always wanted. 

We can serve your guests in almost any venue you choose, marquees, community halls and even empty cow sheds can be transformed into beautiful reception spaces.  We can work with existing facilities or bring in our equipment to set up a temporary ‘field kitchen’. 

We are also now delighted to be able to offer The TAD Centre as a wedding venue. With seating for up to 200 for dinner, spacious lounge bar and outdoor garden and patio area, this well appointed venue ticks all the boxes. Our superior food and beverage services make this Middlesbrough’s premier location for special parties.  We also work closely with Kirkleatham Museum, just outside Redcar and Danby Village Hall. 

Our food is all prepared in our kitchens from scratch, using fresh, quality ingredients. We don’t ‘do’ over-processed foods; we always try to use local foods and sources.   We would usually design a bespoke menu, created with your wedding in mind, maybe we can include your favourite dishes or theme for your menu?  The following menus are just a small selection of what we can serve, if you don’t see what you’d like, let us know and we can make it happen!

We offer a comprehensive planning service and can arrange everything you’ll require for your big day, leaving you free to focus on the other aspects of the wedding.  We can organise as much as you like and will liase with other providers on your behalf if required.  We supply all the linen, glassware, cutlery, crockery and friendly, professional service staff you’ll need and work together with partners providing bar services, luxury toilets, entertainment, marquees, furniture, flowers, hog roasts and most other things you may want!

The information here gives an overview of our wedding services, and is designed to give a starting point to your catering planning; prices should just be treated as a guide.  Factors such as venue facilities & location, service level required, timings and numbers etc will all cause variations in costs which will be taken into account when preparing a personalised quote. 

Please contact us for an informal meeting to discuss your plans.

At Lillie’s we believe that your wedding day should be as unique as you are. Over-priced ’conveyor belt’ weddings at ex stately homes are fine, but maybe you imagine something a little more personal for your big day.

Planning

Many have this dream but assume that there’s tons of organising involved, we have years of experience and loads of contacts from planning our brides’ weddings, and every one of them original! We can offer comprehensive planning packages to suit you, can organise everything on your behalf, if you so wish, or just be on hand to offer advice. We know that it’s the little touches and attention to detail that’ll make your reception really memorable. It’s never too soon to start thinking about colours, themes etc, taking clippings from magazines and looking around for ideas….try and write them down!

Venue

Finding a venue for you perfect reception may not be as tricky as you suppose. A marquee is great and not as stomach churningly expensive as you might consider, around £2000 will get you a frame (no poles) marquee big enough (approx 60×30 feet) for about 120 guests. Please contact us if you require a marquee quote. But not everyone has a huge garden/ spare field, you could try asking at local sports clubs, depending on the season they·re sometimes happy to put up a marquee (they’ll be getting revenue from your guests using the bar facilities). Some councils may allow marquees on parks, greens etc or you could befriend a local farmer! Village/ Church halls can look a little drab, but very often they provide a great ’blank canvas’ for you to put your personal stamp on – it’s amazing how simple things like crisp linen, fresh flowers and fairy lights can transform a space.

As site caterers at the TAD centre on Ormesby Road in Middlesbrough, we are also able to offer the restaurant and bar facilities for private functions, providing an excellent solution for your wedding venue, please call us to arrange a visit.

The Food

At Lillie’s we are really flexible. We like to design wedding menus specific to your wedding, possibly you’d like to include personal or family favourite foods, a theme or seasonal foods in your menu. Whether you’d like all your wedding food to be heart shaped and pink; want an Hawaiian themed wedding complete with palm trees or perhaps you would just love a great dinner with proper food, excellent service and the happiest day of your life. Choosing Lillie’s to be your wedding caterer means that you can be as creative as you like, we will make it happen.
