Buffet wedding reception

make your wedding buffet feel less like a cafeteria with a little extra floral garlands draped on the tables

Explore unique alternative wedding reception ideas to skip the traditional sit-down dinner. Consider food trucks, buffet stations, or family-style dining for a relaxed atmosphere. Host a cocktail-style reception with appetizers or a brunch wedding with light fare. Embrace outdoor picnics or BBQs for a casual vibe. These creative options ensure your celebration is memorable and fits your style.

This week I’m showing you the big wedding reception I catered for friends earlier in the spring, and today I want to share the menu we finally landed on. The reception took place after dinnertime, and so the food was all small bites, with cake to follow. But I knew that a lot of people probably wouldn’t eat much dinner beforehand, so I leaned towards the heavy side of appetizers. Want to see what we served, and how we planned it out?
