Wedding food

A wedding celebration is steeped in tradition.

What are the best choices when it comes to selecting wedding food? In other words, what will you serve at your wedding reception?

This answer is based on personal tastes and preferences.

The Ravello Events suggest you to have a menu lunch tasting where you could try several of the offerings that may be served at the wedding reception.

Buffet or Sit-Down Dinner for a Wedding Reception?

Depending on whether you select a sit-down dinner, or a buffet line, your choices of reception foods will vary.

Of course, your bill will be influenced by the menu you put together, as well.

A buffet is generally more expensive because it provides greater options from which the attendees can choose. The downside is that lines may be long and difficult to manoeuvre for elderly people or those with young children.

Those who choose a sit-down dinner usually send the wedding invitees a response card that includes not only whether they will come or not, but also their dietary requirements . . Sit-down is generally less expensive because of the service costs associated.

Whatever decision you take for your wedding food , make sure you follow the Ravello Events tips below.
