Why You Should Have A Buffet Style Wedding Breakfast
One of the biggest decisions you'll make if you're planning a wedding, is how to serve the food. There are many options, from plated dinners to family-style service, but one of the most increasingly popular choices is a buffet-style reception.
There are several advantages to having a buffet-style wedding reception. First and foremost, it allows your guests to have more control over their dining experience. With a plated dinner, you are limited to one or two options and may not be able to get enough of their favourite dish. With a buffet, however guests can take as much or as little of each dish as they like and can try a little bit of everything.
Another advantage is that it can be more cost-effective than other options. With a plated dinner, you'll need to pay for servers to bring out each course and may need to rent additional dinnerware and glassware. With a buffet, however, you can often get away with less staff and fewer rentals.
On top of the above points and what we feel is the most appealing, a buffet-style reception can be a more casual and relaxed affair. Guests can move around and mingle as there's less pressure to keep up with formalities like a plated dinner. This can make for a more enjoyable experience for both the couple and their guests as the engage and interact over the food options.
