So i have a food question??? (African & American Wedding)

Maybe Hilton can provide chicken/steak, vegetables, mashed potatoes and, rolls.

I was then thinking that will be overwhelming of food... The hilton guy said they can do alcohol and cocktail food ... im thinking in my head $5000 just for that lol

I know I don't think it would add up. Maybe a food station like a potato bar or pasta bar, along with the cocktails and apps.

U know what i actually like the pasta bar idea ... i didn't think of that .. OK great.. i will add that to my list.. thanks and congrats to you..

Potato or pasta bar plus Jollof rice (YUMMM), plus meatpie is a lot of carbohydrates (not to knock ur suggestion allidb8579).

Alcohol and cocktail food may actually tend to add up.

It depends on your guests and if they're much of drinkers in the first place.

I suggest that they add some greens (like a salad of some sort)...you have enough meat options already.

Maybe have them provide some desserts as well? My venue serves ice cream at the end.

Or... i went to one wedding where they had bruschetta with goat cheese as part of the apps during cocktail hour and it was delicious.

Hope that helps

You are right meat pie does have lots of carbs( what you know about meatpie lol) ... but im sure i won't be eating lol .. I was thinking of a salad and pasta station .. the pasta station is $17 a person so thats not bad ... i will ask about desert... i do have enough meats and i dont want too much food where ppl cant get it all lol..

I'd say appetizers, a great big salad and some desserts. Sounds delicious!
