    Probably plated. My sister is doing our catering so we haven't really decided what style we are going to do. I would really like plated just because the space is a little too small for a buffet

    We are thinking buffet. You get a little more bang for your buck, wherever we are looking.

    We’re doing plated. It’s actually cheaper than buffet at our venue.

    Plated! My venue doesn’t offer buffet and I’m glad because it sounds a little cheap

    Kind of. It will be like 3 mini buffets set up separately. One will be a carving station, one will be a mac and cheese and mashed potato bar, and the last will be either pasta or tacos and fajitas.

    Plated dinner. Buffet is too casual for our venue/theme.

    Buffet! I see a cool thing at a wedding last year. They placed name of songs on each table and once the song played that table could dance their way to get food.
