Aphrodite Oysters Wedding Services
We have been sending Aphrodite Oyster love to brides & grooms and their guests since 2014. We often customize our service to fit each unique couple.
From oysters only to caviar service, we offer all the succulent raw bar items you can dream of serving your guests. One thing is for certain, your guests will remember the live oyster shucking service at your wedding and many tell us our East Coast Oysters are the best they have ever had! We also offer our cheese, charcuterie table displays as an add-on to your wedding raw bar, starting at $650, you set the budget. We most often serve the traditional cocktail hour after the ceremony while you are taking photos. Don’t worry, we will save you a plate of oysters! We highly recommend popping over quickly to take an oyster toast photo at the raw bar.
What’s included?
Everything! Table display and all the accoutrements like lemons, seasoned crackers, cocktail sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, mignonette, and boat buckets for your shells. Aphrodite Oyster Shuckers will walk guests through where the oysters come from, the flavor profile, and recommended sauces.
Do we make our own sauces?
Yes, on the day of your wedding the horseradish root is blended and the champagne mignonette is infused with lemongrass and thai chili, etc.
Do we provide a table and linen?
Yes, we provide both and you can choose your linen color, as well as accent colors. You can customize the look with a farmhouse or other rented table.
Do we pre-shuck oysters?
No, we do not pre-shuck oysters leaving them on trays where they dry out in refrigerators and then transferred to their serving dish. Many full service caterers will offer this option and that does not meet our Aphrodite Oysters Quality and Safety Standards.
Display Options?
Yes, we offer a large 4 foot ice display or you can order an ice sculpture. The ice display is on a folding table with linen unless you wish to modify, for example, a farmhouse table with no linen.
Roaming or mobile oyster shuckers may also be added to the raw bar table or the smaller oyster cart.
In photo, you will see a custom raw bar we built for a wedding client which is now available as a rental. This display is a bar height table for platter service, not for the ice display. You might notice the boat on the ground; you may choose a single oyster to slurp then discard the shell in the boat!
Share you oyster vision with us and we will help make that dream come true!
