Questions about different options?

Limited bar could be drink tickets so that a finite amount of drinks are paid for and served, or it could mean host/cash bar where you or your guests pay per drink. This is opposite of an open bar where you pay a fee per head and everyone can drink all they want.

Stations are particular spots on the banquet floor for serving a particular item. Late night snacks like a burger bar and pizza are usually done at stations instead of served table side. Some people may serve a ham or prime rib roast via a carving station where guests walk up to the station to get a serving instead of having it brought to the table.

Hello Welcome to Wedding Wire and Congratulations on your engagement.

Seems like Vinod and Brittany answered your questions.

Do not hesitate to ask the group

Banquet service does mean buffet as guests help themselves and lower costs as to the plated service. I would love to see stations offered so that international food can be served if it was available and in a creative way.

Limited bar means they serve alcohol for a few hours and then its up to you to pay for the guests or have tickets/cash bar for them to pay on their own. Open bar isn't available everywhere as they lost on the cost now a days.

Usually when it is limited like that, the couple is paying. But it is totally up to you.

I went to 3 weddings this year and 2 of them had limited toonie bar. So it was only certain beer and spirits offered and everything was $2.00

Hello & Welcome to Wedding Wire

Banquet Style just means a meal for a large number of people. So if a caterer has on their website they provide banquet meals - just talking about that they serve a large number of people.

As for limited bar - this is when only limited number of drinks are available. So instead of providing a full service bar full of spirits, beer, coolers, wine, etc; some couples will choose to only serve beer and wine. This brings down the costs tremendously.

Hope this helps!
