brunch Wedding- Food

You can absolutely find a caterer willing to do just breakfast foods because that is exactly what we are doing. In researching, I had to request a lot from caterers about what breakfast items they could do - a lot don't have breakfast items on their website/catalog. You are going to have to do some research, but it is 100% possible! With the caterers you reached out to, are you just looking on their website? If so, you need to go a step further and email/call them. Our venue has an in house caterer and didn't have any breakfast items listed (just dinner) but I asked them and they said, oh yes, we can absolutely do breakfast items, lets sit down and lets build a menu!

Best thing about that is you are usually doing a custom menu so you have a lot of freedom and the prices are lower. We are having assorted pastries, eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit, country potatoes, bagels with lox and a waffle bar! $32/person.

DO NOT self cater breakfast. That would be SO hard. I promise you, most catering places are totally fine doing breakfast, you just have to ask!

We're doing a Sunday Brunch wedding too! Looks like we're getting married around the same time too, great minds think alike We're fortunate enough to have a caterer who can accommodate but here are some of the things we're doing:

-milk & cereal bar (so inexpensive and will be great for the kids!)

-biscuits, gravy, jams, etc.

-breakfast meats

-eggs

-donuts

-southern grits bar

-coffee bar

-Bloody Mary & mimosa bar

Stop by D&D and grab a bunch of donuts and put them out, maybe even bagels if you want to splurge. They sell boxes of Joe too with all the fix ins.

How would you have an omelette bar without someone to actually make the omelettes? Or are the guests making their own omelettes?

She could prepare them in advance, then set up a microwave for guests to reheat?

There was a poster on here about a week or two ago and she found a catering to do this exact same thing. Maybe you should review the vendor tab and keep looking. Don't just look at their menu ask them directly. They may customize it, breakfast items may not be listed. Hopefully the poster comes back and can share her caterer with you.

A lot of vendors will happily customize. I am meeting with mine on Saturday to discuss a custom menu. Just start asking.

Also, dependent on the venue, you can bring in outside pastries or work with a specific baker whose pastries you really love but then have a vendor do the rest.

How big is your guest list? Do you have a favorite breakfast place? Can you potentially rent the breakfast place out for your morning reception with a limited menu?

I find it completely, 100% unbelievable that you can't find a caterer to do a brunch. Keep looking. You will find someone.

Also, as someone who can't eat eggs, I implore you to have other options besides breakfast food.

Really? The caterers won't do brunch? I get not being able to do full on breakfast foods, but brunch also includes eggs, salads, fruit, etc -- surely they can do that. We had quiches, frittatas, bagels and lox, pastries, salad, tuna fish and deli meat with rolls, and more.
