Introducing the Dessert Walk: An original Magheramorne wedding moment
27.01.26
If you love the idea of doing things your own way and creating a moment that feels joyful, unexpected and completely you, let us introduce one of our favourite wedding experiences at Magheramorne Estate.
It’s called the Dessert Walk, and it might just be the most fun way to serve dessert that you’ll ever see.
It’s bold. It’s playful. It’s a little bit messy. And it turns that quiet post-dinner lull into the moment your wedding party really kicks off.
Delivered by our in-house team at the estate, or on the road with Jane’s Kitchen at marquee weddings, it is a sight to behold.
How it works
As dinner comes to an end, instead of dessert being quietly served to tables, you, your partner or our MC take to the mic.
In advance of your big day, you will have secretly nominated one or two guests from each table who will then be asked to stand. The room will applaud, intrigued by what is happening.
Your selected guests will now be asked to leave the room, making their way to the Conservatory, where our team will equip them with a sharing-size dessert, topped with a giant sparkler.
Meanwhile in the Ballroom, the lights go down. The music comes up. It’s time for the Dessert Walk.
One by one, the desserts make their entrance. Cheers and laughter erupt, guests rise from their seats, phones are out. Pudding is served and the party has truly started.
Why you will love it
This is not your traditional end to a meal. It really gets the party started and brings people together. Best of all, it feels completely personal. It reflects the personalities of our couples who want their wedding to be relaxed, generous and full of energy, without taking themselves too seriously.
The secret ingredient
Here’s the secret ingredient. Do not tell your guests. This is where the magic lies.
They expect dessert to arrive quietly. Instead, they get music, sparklers, movement and a moment they never saw coming. The reactions are priceless and completely genuine.
It’s the kind of moment people will still be talking about years later.
Which desserts work best?
Sharing is the whole point, so the best desserts are generous, easy to serve and designed to be enjoyed together.
Some favourites include:
- Pavlova
- Gateaus or cakes
- Tiramisu
- Cheesecake
Our Jane’s Kitchen team will help you choose desserts that suit your menu, your season and your vibe, whether you are celebrating at the estate or hosting an outside-catered wedding.
Cue the music!
When you are choosing a song for your Dessert Walk, think big, upbeat and instantly recognisable. You want guests cheering, filming and clapping along!
We recommend you pick something that crosses generations. We want Gran to be just as excited as your friends.
Here’s some of our favourites:
- The Best by Tina Turner
- Dancing in the Street by Martha Reeves & the Vandellas
- Crazy in Love by Beyonce
- Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen
- Le Freak by Chic
- Can’t Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake
- Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars
- Everlasting Love by Love Affair
- Valerie by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson
- Everybody Dance/Gonna Make You Sweat by C+C Music Factory
- Call Me Al by Paul Simon
When it comes to cuing the music, our team will be briefed so everything lands perfectly. All you need to do is enjoy the moment!
