What & where will be your wedding feast?

We are doing plated. Technically we’re doing a bit of everything lol. So we’ll have hors d’uerves served after ceremony.


Then we have antipasto, dual pasta, dual entree, dessert... as plated. Plus a plate of seafood for each table. Then we’re doing wedding cake... plus a late night station.... we also have an open bar so we’re probably going to do a bunch of carbs for late night station lol. Everyone that’s gone to weddings says that after they’re plastered there’s nothing better than some carbs to continue munching on.

Were doing buffet style with many food choices. we have a lot of vegetarians, people who dont eat beef or pork or both so its just easier buffet style lol

We are doing a pig roast, potato and salad bar. Cheep and yummy!!

I'm actually so excited for our food! We did our tasting in October and it was delicious - I just haven't been back to sample the wines yet - I had surgery the day after our tasting and couldn't have alcohol the day before but fingers crossed the wines are just as good as the food!

We're having an antipasto bar with all of the standard fare, to start. Guests will then be served a pasta dish, with salad, their choice of chicken, beef or veg entree and then a raspberry crepe for dessert.

We're having a midnight table as well with cupcakes, pastries, fruit and a pizza, slider and grilled cheese sandwich bar (YAAASS!) - I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Awesome! I agree, I think plated is a bit more of an elegant touch.

Mmmmmm that all sounds amazing. So glad to hear you got compliments on the food. If anything, I want the dinner to be remembered the most. Or maybe second to my dress. Ha!

Mmmm antipasto! I am curious to hear how family style works for you! I like the idea of it, but if it was me I would worry I would want to take to much from the plates hahaha.

Good score on getting the deal as well!

Oh interesting! I am glad the vegetarian dish was great It's always nice when they don't compromise on the veggie options. My fiance is pescatarian so we definitely took that into consideration, must have good fish!

We weren't picky on venue/catering so when we chose our venue, we happen to know the catering there was amazing so it helped make that decision. We did a plated, 3 course meal, which a lot of our guests still rave about lol. We also had cocktail hour apps and a late night snack!

Our wedding is an Afro Caribbean affair so we will be having cultural food! Our wedding is intimate ( 70 people) so we decided that having buffet style would be best! Our reception is at 6pm and we have a cocktail hour 4 pm with finger food which is caramel popcorn, Chicago mix and nuts! Our menu for our dinner is : Curry Goat, Oxtail and Veggie Curry; rice and peas with Roti.

We are having a cocktail hour from 6 to 7pm, to which we wont even be present at as we are getting married in front of immediate family at the same time as cocktail hour, where we are serving guests a large 5ft by 2ft table of charcuterie boards, salmon boards, cheeses, appetizers, etc and then later in the night we will have out a s'more bar, popcorn and cupcakes. We kept food to a minimum so we could focus more on the liqour aspect. Aside from free open bar at cocktail hour, we will be serving $2 beer, $3 wine & bar shots and free liqour to our parents and the wedding party (180 guests will be at our wedding). This is big for us as we are paying for everything ourselves and only have 1 income (I recently became a stay-at-home mom) so we hope everyone enjoys the cheap priced liqour!

We chose our venue based on the coordinator and the property. Both were amazing. We had our tasting yesterday and honestly the food surpassed my expectations. It was incredible and honestly some of the best food I have had.

We had a buffet from Danny's Whole Hog! No cocktail hour - that is just more money and we wanted to get straight to the good stuff!

We had BBQ Chicken, Pulled Pork, Buns, Ceasar Salad, Mixed Veggies, Loaded Baked Potato's, and Mac & Cheese. Then for dessert we had dainties of brownies, carrot cake, butter tarts, and Nanaimo bars. We for sure chose a venue that allowed outside catering so that we could have them cater our wedding!

We went to a restaurant and had an amazing 4 course meal. There were plated hor deurvres to be shared when we arrived. We got to pick from a few different appetizers, 3 different main courses, and everyone got the same dessert. Good food was a top priority for us.

We chose our venue partly because we'd heard so much about how incredible their food is and will be going with a plated dinner, which is actually cheaper than their buffet and I find it a bit more elegant. Since we'll have had a 2-year engagement we'll get to go to 2 of their 'tasting banquets' and I'm absolutely dying to get their roast beef inside me again.

We did a buffet. We had maple bacon chicken and coconut curry pork. I can’t remember all the sides as it was a year and a half ago but there was a few veggies, 3 or so salads and a dessert buffet of 3-4 cakes. We then had poutine as our late night snack.
We also wanted delicious food and we got a lot of compliments on it! Our food tasting had 14 entrees! And each one was so good it was hard to choose!

Since our wedding is in the low peak wedding season we ended up getting the top of the line meal for the same price as the lowest level. I'm so excited for the antipasto during the cocktail hour. If I get stuck with wedding pictures my MOH has orders of what to put on a plate for me lol. We are going to go with family style rather than plated that way our guests can have whatever they want and I don't have to worry about an actual seating chart I can just tell guests which table.

Our venue allows us to use any outside food source we wanted, which we quickly realized gave is waaay too many options! lol in the end though, we went with City Farm which is a great locally sourced catering business based in Hamilton and is amazing. When we booked the caterer though, I was still eating meat, so I just realized last week that I won't be able to have the meat option any more! But the vegetarian dish was very good too, and the dessert is mind blowing
