While planning your wedding one of the things you'll be selecting is "the menu"; Your caterer would have you come in and sit down for a choice of items to be included on your final menu... here is a nice suggestion ... although some food items may not be something you'd like .. remember.... just because you don't like them that doesn't mean your guest would not love them either. Make sure there is plenty of food throughout the cocktail hour, couple of stations e.g. carving stations with at least two items (turkey and meat), a pasta station with also two different kids of pasta made to order, Tex-Mex station, hot chaffing dishes selections (six dishes), a cold display with international cheeses, tropical fruits, grilled vegetables with some nice gourmet salads, nice selection of homemade breads and plenty of passed around hour d'ouvers etc etc; Your cocktail hour should have plentiful and enough food for everyone ... regardless of different tasting personalities; Moving along to your main ballroom area ... start with a pre-set appetizer whether is a salad or a signature dish ...... follow by a nice hot course ..... pasta is always a great choice.... then is the main course ..... have your staples beef, chicken, fish, those are the most common.... however have other alternatives or choices open as well ..... duck is always good, a different kind of fish is a great choice, adding a veal chop sounds good, a vegetarian dish for those friends that don't eat any kind of meat and finally if there is someone with any special request or allergies please make sure you let the banquet manager, your maitre d' and your chef know about it so they can accommodate them....dessert should be a nice and large viennese hour with all the works, all kinds of cakes and pies plus homemade baked goods, mini pastries, every kind of cookie ever made, chocolate fountain with chocolate dipped strawberries, melon, pineapples and other sweets followed by coffee, decaf, tea and a Starbucks coffee display set up just for you!! and that is an awesome menu you just created.... more at Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, My Blog Thanks
