When it comes to food, you will want to make sure that you offer your guests the best your budget affords for your wedding. You have several options when it comes to serving your guests food. You can choose to have a morning wedding followed by a luncheon, cocktails and canapés reception or a full dinner. What you choose depends greatly upon your budget as well as how many guests you are expecting to the wedding.
Wedding Luncheon
If you are having an early wedding, you can have a luncheon for guests who attend the church. Many couples today are choosing to have a luncheon instead of the full wedding reception celebration as this is a great way to save on costs. You can have your wedding luncheon at a venue close to where you are married. In keeping with the theme, you may want to choose traditional English fare for the luncheon food.
Cocktails and Canapes
Having finger food and cocktails is another way that you can entertain your guests for the wedding. With a traditional wedding, you will have a reception hour that includes cocktails and finger foods. Guests will greet the reception party and mingle with one another until it is time for dinner. Many couples who get married later in the evening or earlier are having just cocktails and canapés as their food. If you decide to go this route, you have to be certain that it is not close to dinner time and that the reception is short. If you are getting married for the second time, this may be the ideal way to go and is a lot less costly.
Traditional Wedding Dinner
Your traditional wedding dinner can consist of any type of meal of your choosing. If you have your wedding in a hall or a wedding venue, you can speak to the venue operator about what type of food will be served. In most cases, they will have a menu from which you can select foods to be served to your guests.
If you are having your wedding outside in a garden, in true country fashion, you will have to have a caterer bring the meal. This usually consists of a buffet style service in which each guest gets up and helps themselves. This is usually less costly than a formal, sit down dinner.
When you are planning your wedding, food is one of the most important choices you will make. The type of food that you serve as well as the way that it is served depends upon your budget as well as the amount of guests you are having to your wedding. Many couples today are looking for more affordable options when it comes to planning the food for their wedding.
