Buffet versus Heavy Hors D'oeuvres

Since your reception goes until 6pm I would have a couple stations at the beginning like your last comment, passed apps in the middle, and one or two stations from 5-6pm, since people will be getting hungry again around that time. Maybe like one sweet station, one savory for the end of the reception.

I read this post as "mac and cheese sandwich building" and that's all I care about right now.

@soon2bemrs2017 Station style is set up similiar to a buffet - there's still chairs and tables, you get up to get your food, and then you sit back down. It's a bit more casual but I wouldn't recommend skipping seating entirely... that's just awkward and messy.

Um.

If you do the apps and stations...can i come? Especially with the mac n cheese bar.

YUM.

That gets my vote.

Don't worry, there are definitely tables and seating for everyone. Our site fee includes all that

@Yasmina are you gonna be in the Denver area around that time? haha

I wish!!

I'll settle for pictures.

I plan on getting about a billion pictures of the wedding, so your wish shall be granted!

Wait. This is Denver? That's where I live. Time for Wedding Crashers pt 2.

Uh Noelle... I live in Denver

@Missie I might crash yours for that fondue! What venue are you using? We're at Arrowhead Golf Club

Mine's a DW - I'm having it at a beach in South Carolina where I was born and raised! No fondue for you. Jk.

Good choice for a venue! It's pretty there!

If it's dollar for dollar the same price, then it's really just a personal choice of what kind of vibe you want your wedding to have.

My preference would be a buffet, but to be honest, the only "cocktail/app" reception I've been to looked like a buffet with the carving stations (I believe it was three difference meats), the multiple sides, and the apps that were passed.

Damn! Oh well ;P

And I am so excited to get married at Arrowhead, the views are so gorgeous. I'm hoping for some snow for the pictures. But it'll look amazing with just the fall colors too!

I vote heavy/stations ! Mac and cheese bar is a huge selling point for me

Ever since I heard of a mashed potato bar, I've wanted one. In my house. Every day. You can't lose either way if the meal is filling enough, and you're right, stations are pretty fun for guests, and an activity all in themselves.

P.S. I've just convinced myself to have stations because of this. Thanks!
