Food Presentation Choices

Decisions, Decisions!

Believe it or not there are several different ways to serve your food at your wedding reception. Take a look at some of these options and select which one is best for you.

Buffet: 
Guests must leave their seats to get fed.  The catering staff will attend to the buffet and you can always include a "action station" in which a chef prepares or slices something in front of you. Common action stations include Caesar Salad, Prime Rib, Pasta etc... The most important thing to remember is that this option means more socializing and less sitting!

Seated:
Guests stay seated during the entire course of their meal. You can choose several courses to be served at just the right time all the while socializing with the other guests seated at your table. This option offers a more formal atmosphere and tends to be a little bit more expensive than your traditional buffet option.

Family Style:
This is a fairly new option that has caught on over the last few years. The catering staff will prepare decorative platters of food to be displayed around your centerpiece on each reception table. This is a fun and different way of sharing food with your guests because it requires that you use your manners and pass the food appropriately. This is a great option for Thai, Chinese or Asian style food.

Heavy PuPu's (appetizers):
If you are trying to cut down on your costs then this option might be a good one to consider. Of course, the timing of your wedding ceremony may need to be adjusted in order to accommodate for a more pre-dinner experience for your guests. With this option you can provide a wide variety of delectable passed hors d'oeurvres in conjunction with a mini cocktail bar. If you choose this option, please allow for at least 8 or more pieces per person.
