Yes, we mean it. 

 

A donut wall of fame works the same way as a regular donut wall seen in weddings, but with a knack for creativity.  

 

You can have a large wood frame to create a wall, along with various shelves serving some super delicious donut flavors. 

 

As a starter, your donut wall can have some interesting patterns and designs. Even better, you can theme the wall on your marriage. 

 

Innovative, right? 

 

Now, the donuts you serve up on this wall are equally important. After all, it’s a wall of fame. So be sure to pick some of the best delicacies from Shipley’s menu. 

 

Divide the donut shelves for different flavors and varieties, and stack up these shelves before your guests arrive. 

 

There it is, a perfect donut wall of fame. 

 

Additionally, you can also go for donut bar catering and have a live donut bar serving some signature delicacies.

#2. A traditional donut serving

Not everyone’s in for funky donut decor, and you might be looking for more traditional-style catering. 

 

So how about some classic donut varieties served in the good old way? 

 

You can create a simple yet classy table decoration and serve classic donut dishes. In fact, when we talk about old-style donuts, nothing comes close to Shipley’s classic glazed donuts. 

 

Add a vanilla frosting on these doughy and sweet donuts, and you’ve got a dessert that guests would line up for.

The banquet table is one of the most critical aspects of your wedding table. It is where you gather with your guests after the wedding vows to raise a toast and enjoy an appetizing lunch. 

 

No wonder why event planners are so focused on the table and ensuring it’s arranged in the best possible way.
