Food Tasting!

I can't wait to book in for our tasting! We are waiting a bit till next year though.

That all sounds AMAZING! Good choices.

I am so excited for all the food.

View quoted message Honestly our venue did it all. It was an upgrade for a late night snack. They brought out a bunch of cheeseburgers wrapped and under heat lamps. They went super quick!
My cousins girlfriend works at McDonalds and she says it happens quite often that they do weddings for late night snacks

I've heard of people getting McDonalds!! How does that work?!

Definitely! If they'll give you a sampling free of charge even better! Our tasting for the two of us was free with our venue, but bringing our parents was an additional charge.

We havent had one!! i wish we would tho!! i guess i can ask my catering company

No food tasting for us - but we got Danny's Whole Hog BBQ which we've both had previously at other functions so we were NOT disappointed!

Our menu was; Pulled pork (sauces), bbq chicken, rolls (and butter), mixed veggies, caesar salad, mac & cheese, baked potato's (with sour creme, green onions, butter, and bacon), and for dessert we had nanaimo bars, carrot cake, butter tarts, and brownies!

Lol, people for sure did not go hungry!

My husband just ate the antipasto bar, and only a couple bites of all the food!

We had a fondue station, pizza, and McDonalds cheeseburgers. Everything went lol.

View quoted message It sounds like your guests definitely weren’t starving at your wedding!!


We were really happy with our portion sizes - guests won’t be going hungry for sure!
I’m going to pick up the wine I didn’t get to try this week! I’m sure it’ll be good, but like you I’m not sure how much wine I’ll drink on our wedding day lol!
Did you have a midnight table as well ?

That sounds amazing! The tasting was my Husbands favourite part of wedding planning lol.

We did an antipasto bar for the cocktail hour. Pasta and meatballs, guests had a choice of chicken or salmon for the main, and then caramel crunch for dessert.

It was amazing. We knew ahead of time what we would be going with, but after the tasting we knew our decisions were right.

I picked the wine, and oddly enough didn't drink any of it lol.

View quoted message Yes I they did give us our choice of menus which we have already chosen. I was a BM for a wedding there and I did enjoy the food a lot. However, actually going for the tasting for our wedding that'll make it real...

Any potatoes are good potatoes!!

Hoping your surgery went well, and thanks! My mom still has hers - some people don't need them out but mine are messed up lol

View quoted message Did your venue give you any indication of what their menu might be so you can decide beforehand what you’re interested in?


Thank you! My surgery went well, just taking some time to recover now !

View quoted message That sounds so yummy! Are you doing any appetizers? I love hearing about food so I’m curious what other people are having!!


Thanks so much! My surgery went well - just a few weeks of pain but I’ll manage glad it’s done well in advance of the wedding.

View quoted message That’s amazing! We’re getting roasted potatoes with our meals which are ok but I love scalloped or mashed!


Ouch! I still have my wisdom teeth *knock on wood* and hopefully I wont have another surgery for at least 3 years so fingers crossed!
I hope your recovery goes smoothly!!!

We have to wait till the new year for our tasting. I can't wait. Good luck on your surgery.

We went to our venue's tasting banquet for 2019 couples in April of this year but we'll actually decide after the 2020 one. We were pretty stoked that we'll get 2 nights of free food since we booked so early lol. In addition to the chicken and veggie options for the main course, we were thinking of choosing roast beef but my parents both tried their prime rib when they went for dinner one day and said it was out of this world, so I'm convinced haha.

Hope the surgery goes well! Good to get it out of the way so long before your wedding!

I also like pinot grigio, but my favourite is chardonnay lol!

We saw that scalloped potatoes were an option and knew that was our side from the get-go hahaha!

I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled a month after the wedding, so I'm probably (definitely) going to lurk here while I recover

Omg scalloped potatoes are fabulous!!! What a great side for your guests - I'm totally jealous (I love scalloped potatoes...hahaha)! Your bisque sounds fantastic as well - I've never heard of it before.

I think our wine was... cab sauv as well for red, but a pinot grigio for the white. Devastated because I love pinot grigio - I'll just have to buy a bottle to sample haha!

Thanks for the wishes! I guess I'll have loads of time to peruse WeddingWire for the next week

That's awesome! I definitely started feeling like the wedding was becoming a reality at my tasting lol. We picked 2 starters/dinners/desserts to sample and picked the one we liked best!

We have an assortment of hors d'oeuvres for our cocktail hour, red pepper bisque for starters, scalloped potatoes with beef/chicken/veggies (depending on what guests picked), and chocolate mousse with orange sorbet for dessert.

We have a chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon for wines.

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!!
