Tally your Wedding Reception Style results below to help you determine your ideal wedding catering menu and service style.
IF YOU HAVE:
MOSTLY A’S: COCKTAIL-STYLE DINNER
Mix and mingle while enjoying the tastiest bite-sized creations! Heavy hors d’oeuvres and small plates keep the party going while allowing guests to enjoy a variety of delicious creations on the go.
Include some ‘Amazing Grazing’ tables. This humble spread has been given a modern makeover and now grazing tables have moved beyond the wedding cocktail hour. Magnificent showstopping presentations are piled high with a bounty of cheeses, meats, fruit, and nuts. Not only does it look great, but it instantly engages guests and brings people together.
End the evening with a sweet spread of mini desserts to accompany (or replace!) your wedding cake!
MOSTLY B’S: SERVED DINNER
There is nothing more elegant than a traditional seated dinner, and this classic option will withstand the test of time. This option cuts down on food waste and often proves to be more time-efficient than having guests waiting in a buffet line. Select a few mouthwatering main courses and treat your guests to a memorable selection of delicious courses!
This is also perfect for guests with special diet needs. They can choose their entrée and request accommodations on their RSVP.
A mix of round, long, and square table shapes helps create more cozy groupings for your guests.
MOSTLY C’S: SPECIALTY STATIONS
Themed food stations are all the rage, and couples are now personalizing food stations to tell their story! Food stations offer more of an experience for the guests. They are especially popular in South Florida which is considered a melting pot of many cuisines. Guests get to sample many tastes and flavors at stations.
Favorites include the Seafood Raw Bar, a Ceviche and Poke Bowl station, Brazilian Churrasco with a selection of carved meats, DIY Risotto or Tostones, and Paella.
This dining style is perfect for guests who want to taste a little bit of everything!
MOSTLY D’S: FAMILY-STYLE FEAST
There are few things more unifying than gathering around a shared meal. A family-style dinner menu consists of shared platters of food that are placed down the middle of the table, along with serving utensils for each dish. These menus are easily adapted to suit any couple’s tastes and budget.
Family-style meals are casually elegant, making this style perfect for almost any style of wedding. There is a social aspect to a family-style dinner – passing plates is a great ice breaker as it creates a way to start a flow of comfortable conversation.
Tables are often arranged in long rows. Communal dining looks stunning and feels more personal and intimate.
MOSTLY E’S: BUFFET-STYLE DINNER
A buffet-style meal offers a wide variety of traditional dinner food options on a long table display. It is a more casual style of service. Guests can choose which dishes they want and how much of each dish. They may choose from several main courses, salads, and sides.
Guests are invited one or two tables at a time, are offered a plate, and our staff serves them from behind the buffet. Buffets can sometimes take a little longer for this reason and there are sometimes concerns about accessibility for elderly or disabled guests. One popular option is a hybrid style service which starts with a pre-set salad and bread course followed by the main course buffet service.
