How catering and planning differ along the Channel

Bruni's at Villa Howden designs the menu and drinks around each couple, while Peppermint Bay builds tailored feast or cocktail packages.
At the two pubs, the kitchens cater in-house, and the Kingston Beach venue lets only a celebration cake come from outside.
Peppermint Bay's catamaran and Mewstone's planner-arranged guest transport cover getting people there; elsewhere, hire a coach or driver.
