A Bride's Guide To Planning A Delicious Wedding Menu

By Joanna Walsh


If you are planning a wedding, you know that most of your money will end up being spent on the reception. It can be fun and easy to make sure that your big day is memorable. One key step in this process is choosing the right wedding menu. Here are some tips and tricks that you can use.

Often, couples will choose a ceremony and reception venue first. This is a key step. You will want to decide if you are going to choose a place that already serves meals versus one where you may need to hire an outside service provider. If you are working with an outside service provider, you will want to ask your reception venue if they have specific people you want to work with. Some locations in Boston, MA will actually charge you a penalty if you do not use one of the caterers that they normally work with.

The size of your celebration and length of your guest list will also affect your style of meal and the kind of food you serve. A large guest list can mean that you end up paying a lot for food. You may want to look at a more economical type of food if you will be having a lot of people at your reception. The length of your reception may also affect the kind of meal you serve.

The time that your ceremony takes place will also affect your menu as well. For example, a morning ceremony followed by a luncheon reception will call for different food than an evening ceremony that is followed by supper would. If you are getting married later in the evening after people would normally have also eaten supper, you may want to plan a different menu altogether.

There are so many people that are dealing with food allergies and special dietary requirements that it is important to ask your guests if there are any foods that should be avoided. If you know that there are some people who have religious eating restrictions as well, this may further affect what your meal will consist of. The last thing you want is for people to show up but be unable to eat the food that you are serving them. A good caterer should also be able to provide vegetarian options that will suite people who do not eat meat.

There are many different caterers available to choose from. Many couples will opt to start their search online by looking at menus that a caterer may have posted on their website. Word of mouth can also be a great way to find a good caterer who may be able to get you a good meal for a reasonable price.

A potential caterer may want to know what kind of a meal you would like to serve. Common options include seated meals and buffet meals. Another option that many couples are choosing is a cocktail reception that features a variety of different hors d'ouevres.

It may seem like a lot of effort to plan a great meal at your wedding but good food is something your guests will remember for years to come. Whether you plan a simple meal or an elaborate dinner with multiple courses doesn't matter as much as making sure that special needs are accommodated and your guests feel satisfied and well-fed.
