You’re still on a high after that whirlwind of an engagement, and you’ve already started to plan your dream wedding. You already have the guest list ready, you have your venue booked, and your gown is already in the works. Now all you have to think about is your wedding food.
You already booked the best wedding catering service in Melbourne, and you’re over the moon. But now, you have to go through the tedious task of choosing the perfect food to be served to your guests on your wedding day. Here are some suggestions:
Think about your wedding guests
While there’s nothing wrong with choosing food that you love, you also need to think about the preference and dietary needs of your guests. To be on the safe side, you can diversify your menu to include gluten-free and vegan options. You can also serve different kinds of meat to cater to different preferences. This way, you’ll know that all your guests will enjoy the food that you serve.
Think about your serving style
You typically have two options on how you want your food to be served – buffet or family style and plated. Plated meal is considered a more formal option, and it’s convenient if you’re hosting a black-tie dinner. Since food will be served on the table, your guests wouldn’t need to stand up, which is extra convenient if they’re wearing suits and gowns. On the other hand, if you prefer a more relaxed vibe during your wedding dinner, you can always opt for a buffet. Here, all the food will be lined up in a buffet table, and your guests will have the option to choose whatever they want. In some instances, you can also combine both plated and family style, where plates are served on the tables and bigger dishes for sharing are also served, or a separate buffet table is prepared on the venue.
Think about your budget
It’s no secret that food can take up a huge chunk of your wedding budget. In fact, the average cost of wedding catering in Australia can reach up to $5,368. So if you’re working with a budget, it’s best to determine the amount that you’re willing to spend on food so you won’t have a hard time working with your caterer. Keep in mind that when you have the best caterer in the business, you can always guarantee good food that’s within your budget.
Finally, you can always do taste testing to know which among your caterer’s dishes would fit your preferences best. A taste test will not only help you decide on the food but also on how they will be presented during your wedding. When you work with us, you can schedule a taste test, and we’ll present you with all the potential dishes that we think would fit your wedding perfectly.
