We are getting married in a beautiful hotel in February. There will be approx. 35 of our closest family and friends. Would you do a plated dinner or buffet?

Both options are being catered by the Keg Steakhouse Resturant. I originally was only thinking plated because it gave our guests a menu with about five options, including steak, chicken, veggie stir fry and some sea food sides. This also comes with starter salad and dessert. The buffet however, would have a full roast, chicken, potatoes, 2 salads, fruit tray, cheese tray, relish tray, breads, possible shrimp tower and dessert table.

Because of the small size of our wedding, the buffet could really fill the room and includes lots of options. The plated would be nice because it is small, it would be a treat to have everyone's meals served to their seat.

I can't decide what I like more. I am also not sure what guests would rather have. I could really use some advice! Thanks!

    My venue requires a plated meal if there will be under 50 guests, so that is something to ask about. We ended up inviting 92 (ha, I started with a guest list of 56) and have switched to a buffet.
