Depending on where you’re having the wedding usually they have options for places to get food from

We had Mac and cheese, potato salad, bread, garden salad, baked beans, ribs, turkey, brisket, vegan tempeh. Everything was devoured.

At my wedding 24 years ago:

We are having rosemary and thyme chicken with a mushroom gravy on the side. Beef tenderloin, mashed potato bar, mac and cheese salad and green beans

We had a southwestern themed buffet. Steak and chicken, tortilla salad, chipotle mac and cheese, southwestern rice. It was awesome!

We had buffet style and stations. Salad was plated and served prior to the buffet and stations opening. We opted for Caesar salad.


- Turkey with gravy- Prime rib- Penna Pasta- Cheese Tortellini- Alfredo sauce and Vodka sauce for the pasta- Chef's choice of roasted veggies- Mashed potatoes- Assorted candy bar (set up by our decorator/florist)- Nacho bar (late night snack)

So I had mostly seafood and I learned that's not everyone's cup of tea so I'd say have options

We went heavy on the seafood. My groom and I loved the salad the most, if you have an option to upgrade from a simple green salad I'd go for it! My family definitely enjoyed the shrimp and sausage

and cold seafood bar. I got married at a casino and casino's are known for their huge crab claws and decadent seafood. I personally don't eat seafood, but I knew it would be the best my venue had to offer. Besides, I was in tight spanx and a white gown, pigging out wasn't on my priority list that day ;-)
