Hello everyone! I’m planning my intimate Yosemite National Park wedding, and I’m struggling with what’s the best option for post-ceremony picnic food for 15 people. I’m assuming we’ll do cold food like sandwiches, potato salad, etc., since it’s easier to keep things cold in coolers on the long drive to the ceremony.
The location is more remote, about 1-2 hours from any good food. There is no electricity or running water. I’m hoping we can score a picnic table, but we’ll be sharing the space with other park visitors so it’s not a given.
We’re arriving at a park hotel the day before, but the mini fridge won’t be big enough to bring in 15 meals.
Here are my ideas. I’d love feedback, or to hear if anyone has done something different!
1. See if the hotel will make to-go meals morning of, before we drive 1.5 hours to the ceremony site.
2. Use a caterer (or restaurant) in a town outside the park (2 hours from ceremony site), and have a family member pick the food up morning of, on the way.
3. Hire a caterer to drive the couple of hours to the park and do on-site cooking. (Is this even possible without electricity?)
Thank you if you’ve read this far! ☺️
