Weddings are beautiful, joyous occasions filled with tradition, love, and a sense of unity. However, after the main celebration, many couples choose to keep the festivities going with a more relaxed and intimate gathering—a post-wedding brunch. Hosting a brunch the day after the wedding is a wonderful way to wind down, share stories, and enjoy a meal with loved ones. For couples looking to incorporate a taste of Ghana, a post-wedding brunch catered with Ghanaian flavors is a perfect choice.
Ntriwaa Catering specializes in authentic Ghanaian wedding catering, offering menus that can be tailored to the unique vibe of your post-wedding brunch. From savory treats to sweet bites, we help you create a brunch experience that’s full of flavor and unforgettable for your guests. Here are some ideas and insights on how to host a delightful post-wedding brunch with the best Ghanaian catering services.
For couples who infused their wedding celebration with Ghanaian traditions, a Ghanaian-themed brunch is a natural extension of their wedding. Incorporating traditional flavors and dishes into the menu provides a meaningful way to continue the celebration and bring loved ones together one last time. Even if your wedding day didn’t include Ghanaian elements, hosting a Ghanaian-inspired brunch is a beautiful way to introduce family and friends to the delicious flavors of Ghanaian cuisine.
Ntriwaa Catering understands the importance of honoring traditions and creating culinary experiences that celebrate Ghanaian culture. We offer a range of Ghanaian wedding catering services that can help you design a brunch menu perfect for this occasion.
A successful brunch combines a mix of sweet and savory dishes, and in Ghanaian cuisine, there’s no shortage of options. Here are some of the top choices for a Ghanaian-inspired post-wedding brunch:
Starting off with some light bites sets a warm, welcoming tone for the brunch. Choose items that are easy to eat and fun to share.
Mini Meat Pies: These savory pastries are a Ghanaian favorite, with a flaky crust filled with spiced meat. Ntriwaa Catering’s mini meat pies are the perfect way to introduce guests to Ghanaian flavors without overwhelming their palates.
Kelewele (Spicy Fried Plantains): A classic Ghanaian side dish, kelewele is a fantastic way to add a burst of flavor to the brunch. Made from diced, seasoned plantains fried to perfection, it’s mildly spicy with a sweet undertone, making it a hit with guests of all ages.
Ghanaian-Style Pancakes: Ghanaian pancakes are slightly different from traditional Western pancakes, with a thinner texture and a hint of spice. They’re easy to serve with sweet toppings like honey, jam, or caramelized bananas for a unique twist on a brunch classic.
The main courses of your brunch should be filling and satisfying, ensuring that guests leave with happy hearts and full stomachs. Ghanaian cuisine is known for its hearty dishes, so incorporating them will definitely leave an impression.
Jollof Rice with Grilled Chicken or Fish: Jollof rice is a staple at any Ghanaian event, and it’s perfect for brunch as well. The flavorful, tomato-based rice dish can be served with tender grilled chicken or fish, providing a filling yet familiar meal for guests.
Waakye (Rice and Beans): Another classic Ghanaian dish, waakye combines rice and beans for a nutritious, savory base. Guests can top their waakye with fried plantains, hard-boiled eggs, and a selection of sauces to customize their plates. It’s a wonderful way to offer a communal, buffet-style experience that encourages mingling.
Kontomire Stew with Boiled Yams: For a traditional Ghanaian experience, kontomire stew made with cocoyam leaves, tomatoes, and spices is a crowd-pleaser. Serve it with boiled yams for a satisfying, authentic taste of Ghana that guests will remember.
Every great brunch needs a touch of sweetness to end on a high note. Ghanaian desserts and snacks bring delightful textures and flavors to the table, leaving guests with a memorable last bite.
Puff-Puffs (Ghanaian Doughnuts): These soft, round doughnuts are a must-have for a Ghanaian-inspired brunch. Puff-puffs are lightly sweetened, and their soft, fluffy texture makes them a hit among children and adults alike. Serve them with powdered sugar or chocolate sauce for a sweet treat guests will love.
Bofrot (Fried Dough Balls): Similar to puff-puffs, bofrot is another Ghanaian favorite. These fried dough balls are slightly denser and can be served with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar for added flavor.
Tropical Fruit Platters: Balance the heavier dishes with platters of fresh tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and papaya. Not only do these fruits add vibrant color to the table, but they also offer a refreshing sweetness that complements the savory flavors of the meal.

To make the most of your post-wedding brunch, here are some tips to ensure everything goes smoothly:
Unlike the wedding day, which can be filled with formalities and scheduled events, the post-wedding brunch is an opportunity to unwind. Choose a relaxed, intimate setting where guests feel comfortable mingling and sharing stories.
A buffet or family-style setup works well for a brunch, allowing guests to serve themselves and choose their preferred portions. This format also encourages a communal atmosphere, which is perfect for post-wedding celebrations.
A variety of drinks can elevate any brunch experience. Offer a selection of fresh juices like pineapple, orange, and hibiscus. Adding a tea and coffee station is also a great way to accommodate all guests.
Incorporating subtle Ghanaian décor elements, such as kente cloth accents or Ghanaian-themed table settings, can enhance the theme and add to the ambiance.
A post-wedding brunch is the perfect way to extend the celebrations and bring loved ones together once more.
