Here are some top tips for putting together your wedding menu and planning food for your big day.

 

If you’re a foodie, then you’re probably looking forward to putting together your wedding menu. If you’re not sure where to begin, then you’ve come to the right place! In this guide, we’re going to go over some of the most important things to keep in mind when orchestrating your wedding menu.

Planning a Menu

It can be slightly overwhelming to think about putting together a wedding menu, especially because there are so many different options out there. Some people prefer a more traditional plated dinner, while others opt for a buffet or food trucks. Thinking about all your different options is important at the beginning, but it’s also essential to start narrowing down your choices.

 

Below are some of the most important things to think about when it comes to putting together your wedding menu. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or would like to learn more about why so many people choose our venue for their big day.

Family-Friendly

If you’re going to have littles at your wedding, then you’ll want to make sure you have food options that they’ll enjoy. While you can still make sure that those options are elevated, it’s important to be sensitive to the dietary preferences of all ages at your wedding. Plus, you never know when one of the adults will want to enjoy some chicken nuggets!

Budget

Another important thing to consider is your budget. We recommend leaving a little extra wiggle room in your budget in case there are any surprises. When you’re thinking about your budget, make sure that you include a tip for your food vendor. We recommend that you have this amount waiting in cash for them on your big day.

Buffet or Plated Dinner?

One of the biggest questions that you’ll need to answer is whether you’ll be having a buffet or a plated dinner. There certainly isn’t a right or wrong answer to this question and it’s really about what you and your partner prefer. 

Allergies

It’s essential that you’re aware of any allergies your guests have before you put together a menu and pick out a vendor. Some vendors may not be able to accommodate all dietary requests, in which case it’s important to either communicate with that guest ahead of time or find another food option that they can safely consume.

Be Creative and Have Fun!

When it comes to putting together a wedding menu, it’s important to remember to have fun and be creative! Whether you want a traditional wedding cake or want to opt for an unusual option like donuts, it’s important that your food reflects who you are as a couple.
