A lot of things go into planning a wedding. It’s one of the most significant milestones in a person’s life, and there is no detail too minor. From color scheme and dress to location and music, the list goes on and on when it comes to decisions to make and organization. A major consideration for your special day, especially in south Louisiana, is food and drink for your friends and family. Finding the right caterer can make all the difference in making your wedding day a memorable one. Here are a few catering tips and trends that can create the perfect celebration.
Catering Stations
Stations are a great way to reorganize and rethink how your venue will be arranged and function. From cocktail stations that give your guests a couple of creative options to choose from and serve themselves to specific tables that have different dining options, you can create an interactive experience during your reception.
Charcuterie Boards
Charcuterie boards and grazing tables are a popular option that can offer a variety of different snacks for your guests. These areas allow people to mingle, choose what they want in terms of selection and amount, and create an enjoyable atmosphere. While traditional ham, sausage, cheese, vegetables, and cracker combinations are still popular, you can create a grazing table with many different items. Popcorn, fruits, dips, pretzels, even seafood all make for an enjoyable dining choice.
Handcrafted Cocktails
While beer, champagne, wine, and your classic bar offerings will never go out of style, unique, handcrafted cocktails have become a choice option for many weddings. Offering specifically designed combinations of flavors, colors, and taste with unique, sentimental names, can make for a truly memorable evening.
Consider a Family-Style Meal
A casual, relaxed dining atmosphere can be achieved with a family-style meal. Mingle and pass dishes around the table as you enjoy beautifully created shareable meals.
Late Night Snack Options
As the evening moves on, the food doesn’t need to end with the cutting of the wedding cake. Late night snack stations have become a popular offering for later receptions. Sliders, grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken and waffles, French fries, and more all make for a perfect ending to a perfect evening.
