Do not hesitate to consult with us about your ideas and we will materialize your wishes into an unforgettable experience.
What is a wedding reception and what can you expect from it?
A wedding buffet is the most popular item of wedding entertainment. It is a refreshment that is especially suitable for all-day weddings. Everyone can come at any time for any kind of goodies. You can choose from a lot of dishes and drinks. We are also happy to cook your favourite dishes according to your wishes. Freshness of all ingredients is a matter of course with us, only then will the refreshment at the wedding buffet be perfect.
The wedding buffet can be held in different designs, with or without service. We can arrange both a classic formal buffet with a buffet skirt and white tablecloth, which are an important addition to the festive dining, and an informal buffet, i.e. without buffet skirts.
You can choose from a food station and two types of banquets. The banquets differ in price, quantity of food and how many people they are designed for. In both cases you will find your own way and enjoy the food you like.
Smaller buffet
The smaller buffet costs about 550 CZK with a food quantity of about 500 g per person. The range of dishes at this buffet is more limited, but you will still find popular dishes such as variations of fried chicken and pork mini steaks, chicken steak with herbs, roast beef sandwich, a board of Italian cold cuts and cheeses, pastries, one kind of salad, etc.
Bigger buffet
This is a more varied buffet, priced at around 750 CZK with 750 g per person. It consists of nine delicious Finger foods such as beef tenderloin carpaccio, pate, marinated prawn, plucked duck, pollo tonnato, smoked salmon and many more. There are also two kinds of popular mini burgers, English roastbeef, chicken and pork cutlets and there are also luxury Italian cheeses, cold cuts and tartare with bread chips.
This buffet also includes three types of hot food. We commonly offer beef neck, herb-roasted salmon or even chicken supreme. For each dish, the side dish also plays an important role. Therefore, baguettes and castle baked bread, on which the newlyweds' initials can be prepared, are included. We do not forget about fruit and vegetables in the form of salad or marinated vegetables.
Food stations
We are also able to organize a banquet as modern food stations. These are food stands that delight with specialties not only from Czech, but also Mexican and Italian cuisine. However, with this type, more staff is needed, so the disadvantage is the increasing price.
What you can add to the buffet

- chocolate fountain with fresh fruit
- canapés - cheese, garlic, ham, roast beef and wasabi, salmon and fresh dill, duck breast or beetroot and goat's cheese
- salad bar

- taco bar with Mexican specialties - jerked meat, vegetables, tortilla, sauces
- outdoor grilling on the Ofyr grill (live cooking with a chef) - pork leg, grilled turkey breast, hamburger in a homemade bun, grilled hermelin, tuna, vegetables and mushrooms
- Czech stand - pork sausage, jitrnice, Czech ham, schnitzel
- Italian stand - quality Italian cheeses, cold cuts
- spread stand - hummus, cheese and ham spread, duck rillettes, tapenade of dried tomatoes and fresh pastries
What venue to choose for your wedding reception
Do you need advice on choosing a location? If you don't know how to choose a place for your wedding reception, we have a tip for you. The beautiful castle premises in Chlumec nad Cidlinou are guaranteed to enchant all wedding guests. You can use both the Karlova Koruna castle and the adjacent castle park, where we will be happy to prepare the reception. The most popular venues in the vicinity of Chlumec nad Cidlinou also include the preserve of the Kinsky Hotel, Dobřenice Castle, Hrádek u Nechanic or Kačina Castle.
If you have chosen any other location for your wedding, it's not a problem. We will cook, prepare and deliver everything to the location you specify. We normally prepare catering in the surrounding area of Chlumec nad Cidlinou, about an hour's drive away.
Advantages and disadvantages of the wedding buffet
The advantage of the wedding buffet is the choice of a large number of dishes. Whether you have meat lovers, vegetarians or vegans among your guests, the buffet will ensure the satisfaction of all guests. The advantage of the buffet also lies in the freedom. Guests can move freely with the food or take it to their place without any service. Only 1-2 people are needed to replenish the dishes, cutlery, plates and deburr dirty dishes.
The downside tends to be the lack of the biggest goodies, which are quickly gone and so won't go to everyone. Therefore, we recommend having other goodies in reserve to delight your guests even at later hours. A delicious banquet meal could help solve such a problem.
What types of banquets we also provide
We offer different types of dishes for the given banquets. You can read articles about the different banquets on our blog and get more valuable information.
