A whole lechon, roasted over an open fire, as the centerpiece your guests gather around. The Filipino wedding tradition that turns a reception into a moment nobody forgets, served across New Jersey, New York, and beyond.
A wedding lechon is more than the food. It is the showpiece between the ceremony and the meal, the golden, crackling whole roasted pig your guests circle around for photos. Ninongs Lechon brings that centerpiece to your wedding two ways: a live cocktail-hour carving experience, or a hot drop-off timed to your reception.
Your lechon arrives on a bed of banana leaves, garnished and presented for the room. Through cocktail hour it is carved and set out for your guests as a live lechon station, paired with two sauces: our spicy coconut vinegar and our chimichurri. The showpiece moment between the ceremony and the meal.
The full lechon delivered hot to your venue, timed to your reception and ready to serve, for when you want the centerpiece without on-site staff. Coordinated to your day and your caterer, so a whole roasted pig for your wedding is as easy as it is memorable.
The details couples ask us most.
A whole lechon serves roughly 30 to 80 guests depending on the size, from a 12 lb de Leche to a 60 lb Supreme. For weddings we help you match the size to your guest count, and many couples pair a lechon with the rest of their menu.
Yes. Our Cocktail Hour Service brings the lechon on banana leaves and carves it live as a station for your guests during cocktail hour, paired with our spicy coconut vinegar and chimichurri. If you prefer, our Wedding Drop-Off delivers it hot and ready to serve.
