Wedding Catering in Copenhagen
A wedding day calls for food that brings people together. At Rørt, we make handmade smørrebrød – classic with a curious twist – so your wedding menu feels both familiar and new. Everything is made from scratch, with organic ingredients whenever possible and flavours guided by the season. The result: peace of mind on the day, and plates that create quiet moments around the table.
A wedding menu with edge and affection
Smørrebrød is our home – and at a wedding, it truly shines. Crispy toasted rye, juicy toppings and fresh herbs create balance and structure in each bite. We mix the well-known with the playful, so both grandparents and foodie friends feel at home.
This summer’s combinations are perfect for wedding celebrations:
- Egg x Truffle: Organic eggs and blanched cauliflower in light Jerusalem artichoke mayo with a hint of truffle. Topped with chives and cress for freshness.
- Hønsemor: Creamy organic chicken salad with roasted celeriac and mushrooms, finished with crispy bacon and cress.
- Shrimp: Hand-peeled Greenlandic shrimp in light potato mayo with cabbage and lovage. Dill adds that clean, green aroma.
- Ingrid in Summer: Crushed organic Ingrid peas with olive oil and chimichurri of roasted spring onions. Plant-based and full-bodied.
- Laksilicious: Rillette of hot-smoked salmon from Centralrøgeriet, summer cabbage tossed in miso, ponzu and sesame. Coriander adds a citrus lift.
- One Lucky Potato: New potatoes on plant-based chive mayo with crispy onions and cress. Pure summer on rye.
We tailor the menu to your style – a bright lunch wedding, a standing reception or an informal evening with shared platters. Choose from fish, meat or fully plant-based options so everyone feels included.
Rørt Bites – Small Mouthfuls for the Reception
For the hour after the ceremony, when the bubbles start flowing, Rørt Bites make a light and elegant choice. They’re miniature versions of our smørrebrød, served in homemade rugletters – small tartlets baked from the ends of our rye loaves. They taste warmly crisp and reduce food waste in the simplest way.
The format makes it easy to stay present with your guests – one hand for the glass, one for a bite. We can curate a mix of fresh, creamy and crisp flavours on each tray – for example shrimp salad with dill, crushed peas with chimichurri, and hot-smoked salmon with sesame.
As a rule of thumb:
- 6–8 small bites per guest for a 1.5–2 hour standing reception
- 2–3 full smørrebrød per guest for a lunch serving (3–4 for heartier appetites)
We’re happy to advise on quantities based on your schedule, guest list and other servings.
From Welcome to Late Night – How to Use Smørrebrød on the Day
- After the ceremony: Rørt Bites served on platters to keep the conversation flowing.
- At the tables: a smørrebrød menu in 2–3 servings with freshly toasted rye, small herb salads and pickled vegetables on the side.
- Later in the evening: a handful of plant-based bites or a creamy egg-and-truffle variation as gentle late-night comfort food.
Smørrebrød travels well, looks elegant and feels right for a wedding. The variety of textures – crisp, juicy, creamy – keeps every bite interesting.
Ingredients with Intention
We use organic ingredients where it makes the most sense and prioritise small, traceable producers. Our rye bread is our own – sourdough-based, toasted before serving for that deep aroma and signature crust. Fish and shellfish come from certified coastal fisheries, and we work with species in season. Vegetables are local and organic whenever possible – herbs, summer cabbage, peas.
The rugletters for our Rørt Bites are baked from the ends of our rye loaves – a small step that both tastes and makes sense.
Practicalities: Ordering, Delivery and Local Coordination
We’re based in the heart of Copenhagen – you can either arrange delivery on the day or plan for pickup. Torvehallerne is our permanent base; Broens Gadekøkken is open during the warmer months. Share your schedule, access details and fridge capacity – we’ll fine-tune logistics so everything arrives calmly and on time.
Allergens and preferences are taken seriously. Let us know about dietary needs (fish, eggs, nuts, fully plant-based), and we’ll adapt the menu and label all platters and packaging clearly.
Not sure about portions or serving order? We’ll help you plan it simply, so you don’t have to make decisions on the day.
Wedding Menu Ideas – Summer Season

- Welcome: Rørt Bites – shrimp salad with dill, peas with chimichurri, hot-smoked salmon with sesame.
- At the table: start gently with egg and truffle; follow with chicken salad and roasted mushrooms; end with new potatoes on chive mayo and crispy onions.
- Late night: a few plant-based bites and pickled vegetables for a refreshing finish.
Want more from the sea or more from the garden? We’ll adjust to taste, budget and what’s best in season.
