Chez Werth

Chez Werth is a bakery and pastry shop on Place de la Gare in Delémont, in the canton of Jura, with a catering service for weddings, family celebrations and company events. For a wedding it offers the aperitif, savory bites and sweet creations, and the dessert side of the reception, built on the skills of its own bakery-pastry kitchen.

What the catering page offers

The catering page is headed "Service traiteur à Delémont pour vos événements dans le Jura" (catering in Delémont for your events in the Jura) and promises gourmet bites for small and large events alike. It asks directly whether you are looking for a caterer in Delémont or the canton of Jura for a wedding, a birthday, a family party or a company event.

The range is set out as a list: bouchées salées (savory bites), verrines (small layered glasses), canapés, apéritifs, and sweet creations and desserts. The team says it puts together an offer to suit the event, your wishes and the number of guests, and that its help runs from a convivial aperitif to a full reception, "De l'apéritif convivial à la réception complète".

The second section, "Des goûts et des couleurs", gives the kitchen's approach. It opens with "Parce que les saveurs ne se discutent pas, elles se découvrent" (because flavors are not for arguing over, they are for discovering). The cooking plays with textures, seasonal produce and flavor pairings to make bites that are as good to look at as to eat. The selection is drawn up together with the client from aperitif, cocktail, savory bites, canapés, verrines, mignardises (small sweets) and sweet creations. The proposals change with the seasons and can be personalized.

What it offers for a wedding

The page is specific about weddings. "Pour un mariage dans le Jura" (for a wedding in the Jura), the team can plan with you an aperitif, bites and gourmet creations, and the sweet part of the reception. That wording matters when you are comparing caterers. The wedding line on this page covers the aperitif, the finger food and the dessert rather than a plated wedding dinner, so a couple wanting a seated meal from Chez Werth should ask whether that is possible, or plan to pair it with a restaurant or another caterer for the main course.

Service is part of the offer too. Under "Un service sur mesure" (a made-to-measure service), the page says the team can take care of the rest so that you can enjoy the moment: "Service en salle, coordination et sourires" (table service, coordination and smiles). So this is not only a drop-off of trays; staff can be on hand at the event.

The bakery behind it

The last section explains why a bakery makes sense as a wedding caterer. Under "Le savoir-faire d'une boulangerie-pâtisserie pour votre événement", Chez Werth says the pleasure does not stop at the savory: its bakery and pastry skills let it make the desserts and sweet creations for the event too. For a wedding, that means it can put together a harmonious whole, "des premières bouchées jusqu'au dessert", from the first bites to the dessert.

The page then asks whether you would also like a personalized cake, and points to the shop's cake creations on a separate Gâteaux page. A couple who want the aperitif, the sweet table and the wedding cake from one kitchen can arrange all three in one conversation, which is a real simplification when planning from a distance.

Other occasions

The page says every event is different and that the service adapts to both private and professional occasions. Beyond weddings, it names birthdays, baptisms, communions, jubilees and family parties, for which it prepares a formula suited to the mood and the number of guests. For businesses in Delémont and the Jura it caters company aperitifs, receptions, inaugurations, company meals, seminars and professional events. That range suggests a team used to aperitif receptions of different sizes, which is the part of a wedding it offers.

Contact and opening hours

The contact page invites orders for pastries, questions, or just a kind word, by email or by WhatsApp. The address is Place de la Gare 14, 2800 Delémont, the email is info@chezwerth.ch and the phone number is +41 32 422 99 99. The shop is closed on Mondays, open Tuesday to Friday 6h00 to 18h30, and Saturday and Sunday 7h00 to 18h00. The footer names the company as Chez Werth SA. The site also has a "Notre histoire" (our story) page.

WhatsApp is a practical route for a couple abroad: it is quick, it works across time zones, and it lets you send photos of a venue or a cake idea without a phone call in French.

What the site leaves open

The catering page publishes no prices, no minimum or maximum number of guests, and no lead time. It does not say how far from Delémont the team will deliver or serve, whether drinks are part of the service, or whether tableware is provided. The site is in French and does not mention English, so a couple who do not speak French should ask about the language in their first message, or have a French-speaking friend make the first contact.

Because the page builds every offer around the event, the wishes and the guest count, the first message does most of the work. It helps to give the date and the venue, a rough number of guests, whether you want the aperitif only or the aperitif plus the sweet part of the reception, whether you need staff to serve, and whether a personalized cake is part of the order. Since the proposals change with the seasons, it is also worth asking what the kitchen makes at the time of year you marry.

Who it suits

Chez Werth suits a couple marrying in and around Delémont or elsewhere in the Jura who want a strong aperitif and a proper sweet course from a bakery-pastry kitchen, with staff to serve it. It fits especially well where the aperitif is the main social moment, after a ceremony, before a dinner elsewhere, or as a reception in its own right.

The caveats are that the wedding offer on the page is built around the aperitif and dessert rather than a full dinner, and that planning happens in French. For a couple happy to combine suppliers, or to host a standing reception, the one-kitchen approach from first bite to wedding cake is the attraction.
