Hi everyone! I am recently engaged and my fiance and I are beginning the wedding planning process. We have a venue and date (October 2, 2021) and are now looking into caterers. We will be getting married at a winery/vineyards probably in the late afternoon, then have a cocktail hour and dinner/reception.


We are leaning towards doing a buffet style dinner (assuming COVID is past us) because we want everyone to be able to have the option to try different things. What are your thoughts on buffet vs. plated dinners? I want the dinner to be professional and nice, and I think I'm second guessing myself a bit.

    FH and I went with plated as we both hate buffets in any setting. The multiple lines, making people carry their plates around and so many people coming to the food before you and coughing, breathing, touching it...it just freaks us both out and this was pre-covid. I would consider a hosted buffet with the food not in reach and someone serving it for sure, but the "traditional" buffet is not our cup of tea.
