Choosing your wedding day menu
French queen Marie Antoinette is credited with a phrase that loosely translates to “ Let them eat cake .” Guests at a wedding certainly will have their chance to enjoy cake , but it ’ s likely that wedding planners will need to offer a bit more sustenance to guests than this confectionary creation to keep them happy .
Many things stand out as memorable on a wedding day : the dress , the music , the adorable children who trip up or do some sort of zany antics down the aisle , and the food . Guests often look forward to a wedding to wish a couple well in their new lives together , but also to enjoy a great meal . Couples should give careful consideration to their wedding reception menu so everyone ends the night with great memories and full bellies .
Decide on the type of service often dictates the formality of the event . For example , a cocktail party
where guests mingle and sample small bites throughout the night may be a more casual affair , while a plated multi-course meal is much more formal . Couples can decide which type of service fits their budgets and ideas of for the reception .
Expand your options
Largely gone are the days when guests select dishes on the R . S . V . P . months in advance and then are locked into their choices . Now guests have more options and flexibility , particularly because couples and catering venues offer greater variety . A buffet-style meal gives guests chances to sample various foods in one sitting . However , even if couples choose a plated meal , they can select packages that offer guests the greatest number of options . Be sure to include a vegetarian or vegan option , a fish option , and a standard beef or chicken option to appeal to most .
Confirm food allergies or sensitivities
It ’ s likely someone on the guest list will have a food allergy or sensitivity . Making sure there is no cross-contamination is a serious consideration for such guests . The person or persons should be consulted about what the person can and cannot eat , and then those requirements should be conveyed to the catering manager .
Certain people with food allergies are so leery about eating out that they may prefer to bring their own food to ensure it is safe . In this instance , ensure that the kitchen staff will be able to safely heat up or plate the food .
Food will likely be on the minds of wedding guests . Couples can ensure that their guests are satiated by making food a priority at their events . n
