    Plated! I wanted a buffet, but we will have a lot of older family members there. Plated will be more convenient for everyone.

    We are having a self serve buffet station! I feel this allows guest to get as much or as little as they want!

    Buffet, Just give me a few choices of protein sides and some breads and drinks of course and then may be a buffet of desserts that way you can keep everybody's options open and you will not have to worry about really big picky eaters that can't something on the plate because it's touching something else or has something else on the top

    Buffet, mostly because it will give us time to eat and relax before going table-to-table to greet everyone and thank them for coming while they sit.

    We're having a plated dinner and we're offering our guests a choice of 3 meat (beef, chicken, fish) entrees and a vegetarian option. We will have symbols on the place cards to help the servers give the correct meal to each guest.

    Buffet -> gives people more choice with their plate, if they don't want a particular side or what have you. We have a bunch of picky people in our families. LOL

    Our venue charges more for buffet than plated, which seems to be opposite of most venues. They said people eat more with buffets so they charge accordingly LOL. We haven't decided yet. I really like the idea of buffet because I don't want to collect food orders ahead of time.
