Not every bride dreams of white dresses and pastel florals. Some dream of black lace, blood-red roses, and leather boots. Scarlett was one such bride – bold, alternative, and totally unapologetic. Her wedding to her childhood sweetheart Dave wasn’t just a celebration of love – it was a full-blown gothic fairytale with a biker twist, set against the eerie elegance of a gloomy castle that could’ve easily doubled as a vampire’s lair.
Ditching the traditional white gown, Scarlett stunned in a flowing inky-black dress, complete with dramatic sleeves and lace detailing that oozed dark romance. Dave matched the mood in a sleek leather waistcoat and his signature biker boots, effortlessly cool and completely true to himself.
Their guests? Allin on the theme. From black velvet suits to lace corsets, everyone embraced the vibe, and the castle echoed with laughter, love, and the steady thrum of a live rock band cranking out headbanging anthems.
But if you ask us, the food is what really made the celebration a standout success! Scarlett and Dave wanted something as dramatic and crowd-pleasing as the rest of their celebration, so naturally, they went with a hog roast. And not just any hog roast – a spit-roasted, theatrical masterpiece from Hog Roast Brampton.
Our team was up at dawn prepping the main attraction. We carefully scored the skin of a free-range hog, salted it just right, and slow-roasted it to absolute perfection. The result? Crispy, golden skin and melt-in-the-mouth pork, paired with sage and onion stuffing soaked in the roast juices and a tangy homemade applesauce.
For the plant-based guests, Hog Roast Brampton rustled up BBQ-pulled jackfruit rolls that were as smoky and satisfying as any meat option. On the side? Think gourmet slaw, garlicky roasted new potatoes, fresh seasonal leaves, and a heritage tomato and mozzarella salad that brought a burst of colour to every plate.
To top it all off, each table featured charcuterie boards packed with Italian meats, cheeses, artisanal breads, and fresh fruits. And then came the grand finale: dessert. Individual dark chocolate tortes stole the show, but our summer pudding, drenched in juicy berries, was a close contender for the title of “best bite.
The moral of the story? Don’t be afraid to make your wedding as unique as you are. Whether you’re a gothic bride or a rock ‘n’ roll couple, Hog Roast Brampton is ready to create a legendary feast that matches your vibe!
