    Buffet. SO much food. My groom and his family are big time foodies so we wanted LOTS of options. Not the typical please pick one.

    We are having plated dinner, but still figuring out either stations or buffet for cocktail hour.

    Plated dinner! Keeps our reception area feel more open and seems less chaotic than having all our guests getting up and standing in line. Plus it was the more affordable option for our venue!

    Buffet, keeps the cost down but also allows u not to have to have guests rsvp with what they want for their meat choice

    We’re doing a plated. We liked the idea of a buffet for a semi more casual wedding, but I personally think with a very formal wedding like we’re having that plated is the best way to go.

    I wish we could have a plated dinner, but the buffet is $500 cheaper!

    I love plated but I’m big on food and offering multiple options so we opted for buffet. We wanted our guest to have a lot of options and out buffet had a grill station were meat and shrimp was cooked right in front of them. Our guest loved our food and the variety of it.

    Semi-plated. Salad/soup and dessert with be plated and the meal will be buffet-style. Rolls are on the table. Hors d'oeuvres are butler passed with a large smoked salmon display.
    FH made the final meal planning decisions! 🤞
