Absolutely—we can do cheese, grazing, and charcuterie towers too! ??????

If you're leaning toward something savoury, we can style stunning towers filled with gourmet cheeses, fresh fruit, crackers, meats, and all the grazing goodies. They make the most beautiful centrepieces and are such a crowd-pleaser!

You can totally skip the cake, or pair a grazing tower with one of our sweet towers (think chocolate strawberries or donuts) for a sweet & savoury dream combo. Everything is fully customisable to your tastes and aesthetic. Let us know your vibe and we’ll bring it to life! ?

Cheese is always a nice option for those guests who prefer savoury but I do

believe that cake is the always an expected option for most. If the cake is served on platters along side 

the cheese boards with Tea and coffe would be amazing.

This is a personal decision on how you and your partner would like the day to be celebrated.

Many couples opt for both—a cheese tower for the evening and a cake for the main moment—so guests can enjoy the best of both worlds! Honestly, you can’t go wrong. They’re each totally delicious in their own way, and it all comes down to what feels right for your day.
