A wedding menu is not simply a dinner for many. It is the one meal where every detail — every ingredient, every plate, every moment — carries the full weight of the day itself. Chef Thomas Guérinet designs every menu from scratch, exclusively for your celebration.
Not a catering
company.
One chef.
Every element of your reception — from the first canapé at the cocktail hour to the final slice of wedding cake — is designed, sourced, and executed personally by Thomas Guérinet. No agency. No generic packages. No sub-contracted teams assembled the week before.
Thomas trained under Alain Ducasse at the Spoon in Saint-Tropez and has been working in private catering since 2009 — including over a decade of wedding receptions across Île de Ré, Bordeaux, and the French Riviera.
His approach is the inverse of a traditional caterer's: he visits your venue, meets your florist and planner, walks the market on the morning of your wedding, and cooks à la minute — so that every plate arriving at your table is at the peak of its quality, not pre-prepared in a central kitchen hours before.
Intimate receptions of 20 guests or grand celebrations of 500. The precision never changes. Only the scale does.
About ThomasFrom first
conversation to
the last dessert
Initial consultation
A conversation — by phone, video, or in person — to understand your vision: the venue, guest count, culinary preferences, dietary requirements, and the atmosphere you want to create. Free and without obligation.
Menu design & tasting
Thomas proposes a fully bespoke menu written for your table. A tasting session is available for couples who wish to experience every dish before the wedding day — with wine pairings available on request.
Planning & coordination
In the weeks before your wedding, Thomas coordinates with your planner, venue, and florist to ensure seamless logistics. He handles ingredient sourcing, equipment, staff, and all culinary preparation — invisibly.
The wedding day
Thomas arrives at the market at dawn. His team sets up early. Every course is prepared à la minute and served with precision and warmth — from the cocktail hour to the midnight snack. You simply enjoy the day.
Each destination has its own produce, its own rhythm, its own light. Thomas knows every market and every venue in each region — and builds your menu entirely around what the territory offers at its best.

What makes
the difference
on the day
"A wedding menu is not simply a dinner for many.
It is the one meal where every detail carries
the full weight of the day itself."
A menu written for you, not from a catalogue. Every dish is composed after a conversation with you — your preferences, your guests, your venue, the season. Nothing is pulled from a standard package.
Produce sourced that morning. Thomas arrives at the market before your guests wake up. The freshness of what arrives at your table is not a marketing promise — it is simply how he works.
Michelin-level technique, without the theatre. Trained under Alain Ducasse. Fifteen years of private dining. The precision of a starred kitchen — delivered invisibly, so your day remains entirely yours.
Complete discretion. Always. Thomas does not discuss his clients or their events. A formal NDA is available on request. When he leaves, nothing remains except the memory of the meal.
"We recommend Thomas and his team 100%. From the tasting through to the wedding day, everything was perfect — delicious dishes, flawless service, invaluable guidance for the smooth running of the day. Thank you again."
