Buffet reception in the time of Covid-19

For our big wedding we originally chose a buffet style as well. My venue coordinator informed me that she would have her staff their to give out food if we wanted to continue with the buffet style or we could switch to a plated dinner and keep the same menu.

We will wait until January to decide that for our March wedding, we want to wait to see what happens with covid.

However, for our minimony a couple of weeks ago we did a buffet and it was fine, no one had a problem with it. Granted it was only maybe 30 people in attendance

We originally chose to do a buffet, but our venue has vetoed that because of CoVID, so we are now doing plated!

We had planned a buffet, but changed our minds and did a plated meal due to Covid. The caterers were very generous and gave us a discount on a plated meal because of Covid.

I was at a wedding last month and they did the same thing - i think the concern is people not wearing masks and going thru the lines?

We did buffet style with similar precautions

We're doing buffet, and the only difference we have, is it is a serve yourself station. The precautions I'm thinking of doing is putting hand sanitizing stations in every corner, and by stealing your glove idea, and maybe by putting up signs encouraging people to have their mask on when entering the buffet.

I think most venues are doing the additional wait staff who will serve the food on each plate for your guests - personally, i like this set up, its hygienic and cleaner in every way and you don't have to worry about people dropping the spoons or dripping anything all over the place, and you don't have to worry about needing to sanitize yourself after touching stuff or wearing gloves and taking them off and disposing of them and then having to make sure you have enough gloves for everyone. i also feel like it looks a lot more high end and elegant with designated wait staff doing it.
