Mashed potato bar!!!

Kristyn, on July 28, 2018 at 1:38 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 13

So I decided to do a mashed potato bar. I want to incorporate it in the dinner. Has anyone done this?? what did the other parts of your dinner look like? talk to me! Smiley smile

right now the venue is offering 2 salads (or 1 salad 1 soup), Vegetables, mashed potato bar, and penne pasta. Then a meat.

I just feel like it all doesnt mesh well together.

    We did a mashed potato bar and mac n cheese bar. I jokingly called it the carb bar. There were big bowls of each with lots of different toppings from bacon to veggies. People liked it! I think you need a vegetable for your meal.

    We had stations btw. So it made sense to have a mashed potato bar

    We're doing it, during dinner as well. I'm really excited for it. We'll have Yukon gold mashed with bacon, chives, cheese, and sour cream to top them and mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallows and sugar as those toppings.
    were doing it with a turkey carving station salad and mixed veggies.

    Can you do two meats and add a cooked veggie too? For the meat I would do two carving stations -a beef and a poultry.

    The item that jumped out at me as being a little strange was the penne pasta. You already have plenty of carbs, so the pasta seems a little much.

    I agree that the penne seems a bit out of place, depending on the meat that you're having. Would they give you a second meat option instead?

    We had a mashed potato bar, but it was during our cocktail hour. People loved it.

    I think I am going to ask if we can do two meats instead of the pasta

    We are doing a mashed potato bar! I am so pumped for it. We have salads, stir fry (veggies and chicken) vegan friendly.), fajita bar, mashed potato bar and risotto station and meat which we are doing turkey.

    Hi! I'm considering the idea of a mashed potato bar with brisket, pulled pork and toppings. Does anyone feel comfortable sharing with me the estimated cost they spent for food on their wedding day? Trying to have a set budget for my wedding and wondering how much I should consider for about 250 guest
