Wedding spread is being slammed online for being ‘pathetic’

Slices of ‘plastic cheese’, orange wedges with the stickers still on and sad looking brownies: Wedding guest shames newlywed couple’s ‘pathetic’ catering

  • A couple’s wedding catering has been shamed in a wedding shaming group  
  • The food included hundreds of slices of ‘plastic cheese’ and chopped up fruit 
  • Many likened the spread to those served at children’s birthday parties 

A couple’s wedding catering has been slammed online after a guest secretly photographed the ‘pathetic’ spread and shared it on Facebook.  

‘A wedding feast for your eyes,’ the anonymous guest captioned the photos which were posted in a ‘wedding shaming’ group.  

Photos showed hundreds of slices of unwrapped ‘plastic cheese’, trays of celery and carrot sticks, rockmelon, chopped up oranges with the stickers still on them and a tray of sad looking iced brownies.

‘This is basically what we served at my three-year-old’s birthday party. Except we had quiche and strawberries,’ a baffled commenter wrote.

Most commenters were shocked by the lack of effort put into the catering while others suggested the couple were simply watching their budget. 

‘This is what happens when you ask your family to cook for your wedding,’ one wrote. 

‘This makes more sense for toddlers than a wedding, in my humble opinion,’ another added. 

‘Pathetic. This looks like a catering spread for work – a low budget one.’

Some pointed out that while the cheese had been unwrapped those prepping had forgotten to remove stickers from the fruit

The catering also came with something sweet in the form of these iced brownies

Commenters also wanted an explanation as to why a pile of napkins had been left unfolded.

Others were baffled as to how much time had been spent on one food and how little on another.

‘They took the time to unwrap hundreds of slices of fake cheese but couldn’t be bothered to take the sticker off the fruit?’ One wrote.

‘I don’t even know how they cut orange that way. It must have made it harder as usually, you cut in half then into quarters. That looks like a third,’ said another.

Figures show the average Australian couple spends $9,100 on catering for their wedding which includes a full sit-down meal for each guest.

While this type of catering is generally the expectation, according to Easy Weddings there is a trend toward serving food in a banquet style.

‘Serve food on large platters that are perfect for sharing, and serve finger food where appropriate,’ they suggest.

While this can reduce the cost, it was recommended that the function be catered by professionals who are across contemporary culinary trends.
