    Love plated, however my FH wants to do stations instead... we haven't decided yet. We have a lot of time though because our caterer only needs the decision a month or two in advance!

    I really enjoy buffets! Love the variety and I can get what I want instead of wasting food

    Buffet! I want everyone to be able to pick and choose what they want... and it's less work for me since I don't have to worry about getting everyone's food choice.

    Buffet. We're not doing a seating arrangement, and buffet is so much cheaper for us.

    Our venue only offers plated meals. Which is okay, that's what we were wanting anyway. We picked out the veggie, starch and salad but our guest will have the option to choose their preferred meat.

    Buffet, we have too many people with food allergies and whatnot to have it all plated for them.

    We are doing a buffet! FH doesn't want much in this wedding, leaves it all to me, but the food he asked for buffet style, and it wasn't anymore or any less.

    Buffet style all the way. Guests can pick and choose what they want and only take what they will eat. A lot more options for guests to enjoy their meal, and usually cheaper than a plated meal.
