Can you host a pizza night the evening before our wedding in Durbuy?

Certainly, and it is a relaxed way to welcome guests who have travelled far. We bake at your holiday home or on the estate, with or without an aperitivo first. If you also want pizza on the wedding day itself, we discuss both occasions in a single proposal.

Do you also work on castle estates around Durbuy?

Yes, provided a level spot is available outdoors or under an open covering for the oven and marquee. With the estate manager we fix where we set up and unload. Feel free to ask whether the estate has photos or a site plan you can forward.

How many guests can you serve at a wedding in Durbuy?

We apply no lower limit. A wedding in the Ardennes with up to around 150 attendees is served with one oven, and for a larger wedding party we bring an extra baking station to the estate, so the rounds follow each other smoothly. Give as precise a number as possible with your enquiry.

What about wedding guests who are gluten-free or vegan?

Tell us in advance and we will bake gluten-free and vegan pizzas, prepared in a separate work zone. Vegetarian varieties are always on the menu. You receive the allergen information beforehand, so you can share it with guests who want to know.

Pizza catering in Durbuy

Durbuy calls itself the smallest town in the world, and draws couples and families who want to celebrate for a whole weekend. Our pizza catering fits that rhythm: as a welcome evening, as the main meal or as a late surprise.

A welcome evening before the wedding

Do your guests already arrive in Durbuy on Friday? A relaxed pizza night around the wood-fired oven breaks the ice before the big day.

Full experience under the trees

Aperitivo, pizza à volonté and dolci, served in the garden of an estate with a view of the wooded Ardennes hills around the town.

Pace around the speeches

A wedding day rarely runs to plan. We keep the oven warm and start the rounds only when you are ready for them.

The smallest town, the biggest day

The historic centre of Durbuy is a handful of cobbled lanes around the castle, in a bend of the Ourthe. Around it lie the outlying villages, with farms, holiday estates and castle parks in a landscape of rocks, woods and meadows. It is a place where guests do not just drop by but stay the night. Anyone marrying here picks a setting that already does half the work.

That makes a wedding in Durbuy often a multi-day affair. The first guests arrive on Friday, Saturday is the ceremony and party, and on Sunday a quiet brunch follows. A pizza evening fits that programme perfectly, because it is informal and lets everyone mingle: witnesses, family and friends who have not met yet.

A wedding party with the oven at its heart

If you choose pizza as the main meal, the wood-fired oven becomes the beating heart of the party. Guests watch the sourdough, after two to three days of rising, being stretched by hand, topped with Italian ingredients and baked in moments. From the marquee beside the reception room the pizzas go to the tables in slices, round after round.

Speeches, a first dance, a surprise video: we follow your running order. If the speeches go on longer than planned, we keep the oven at temperature and postpone the next round. As the pizza rounds wind down after roughly two hours, tiramisu and cannoli appear, and while the dancing begins we clear out our corner.

Practicalities on an Ardennes estate

Castle estates and holiday lodgings around Durbuy often lie on narrow, winding roads, sometimes with a slope up to the drive. We therefore set off earlier than for a party in town, so we can start building well before service. A photo of the access and the intended oven spot helps us judge everything in advance.

In the old town centre itself it is busy with day trippers on summer weekends, and the lanes are narrow. For a party there we agree an unloading spot beforehand. In rain we bake under an open canopy or marquee, by arrangement; Ardennes summer evenings can be cool, and then the warmth of the fire is a welcome extra.

Eind augustus werd mijn verjaardagsfeest verzorgd door Prestigo. De communicatie vooraf verliep erg vlot en duidelijk. Er werd vlot opgesteld in de tuin waarna er aan de aperitiefhapjes werd gestart. De kwaliteit van de producten was erg…
