There is only going to be about 60 people, so I don't think it will be that much work, so I put it out there to all of you.

If your doing or have done this:

What did you make?

Was it easy to get everything to your venue/set everything up?

Did people complain about the fact it wasn't "professionally" catered?

How did it go over-all?

    I've never had "pressed" turkey, chicken or roast beef at a wedding. That's just weird. It sounds like lunch meat or hospital /cafeteria food. I've

    never heard of a decent caterer serving that. The caterer at my wedding prepared beautiful options such as braised beef in a Cabernet jus, jumbo shrimp and scallops, risotto, fresh pastas with house-made sauces, etc.

    Maybe you just looked into crappy caterers.
