Hey ladies who has had there food tasting already? I was wondering if they give u full servings of each item or just little tasters , and what were some of the aspects you considered when choosing your menu, ex. did you pick based on yours and your FH favoritres , or move of what most people would eat? Any tips

    Our tasting was a few month ago. It may different for plated dinner vs. buffet (we have a plated dinner) but we were sent a menu before the tasting of what would be there. Our appetizers were brought out so everyone could try 1-2 of each sample. When it came to salads, we were choosing between three different salads and we were each brought a small sample. Same went for the main course.

    We picked our favorites based on a mixture of both things you said. Some things were because we loved them and needed to have it on the menu (sea bass tacos) and others we put on there are crowd pleasers like our Philly soft pretzel bar and the hollowed out heirloom tomato stuffed with mozzarella and pesto.

    We had a fun time at our tasting but already knew mostly what we were having before attending (as the place has like 3 tiers of pricing and we already knew where we would fit. We did get to talk to the chef a little which was nice as we had some custom requests (all which they were happy to work with). Our venue held a big gathering...roughly 100 people (brides/grooms and families). So it was neat to see the space done up bridal like. Smiley smile

    We did decide to not have 2 of the items they listed (that we had considered having) as we didn't like the taste. We did get really excited about a few things on our menu that we did get to taste. Smiley smile

    We are doing plated.

    Two of us got caesar salad and three of us got mix greens (so everyone could try both).

    One plate of each of our entree choices came out. They all had sides that I had selected as my top two for each a starch and veggie. The five of us shared the three plates. We had little appetizer plates.

    We had our tasting last week, and we left there stuffed! We were given so much food. Before the tasting, we had to choose between 2 beef, 2 chicken, and 2 fish entrees. Once we got to the venue, we had some salad with bread & appetizers, then had a half serving of each entree. Everyone in our party had to choose which one we liked the best. We chose mainly based on what we thought most of our guests would like. It was a lot of fun.

    My food tasting was back in March and we was beyond full! We didn't try the salad, chesse, fruit, and little pinhweel sandwiches but did try the shrimp & grits (which was to die for), which is for the cocktail hour. My mom & I had the herb chicken with southern style green beans, and my wedding planner and FH has the chicken marsala with fresh green beans. Everything was Great! Get ready to eat have fun while doing it! lol!
