It’s important to understand what a meal style means for your guests as well as how it matches your requirements and your wedding budget. Here are the popular meal styles you can choose from to make your wedding reception a great hit to your guests.

A Plated, Sit-Down Dinner: The Classic

For this traditional meal style, guests are seated and wait for the waiters to carry food out on plates and serve on each table. The main advantage of this style is that the food arrives the way it was supposed to look. Typically, there are three courses served on the table: appetizer, entrée and dessert. Guests can pre-select their preferred menu option up front or you can serve each guest two proteins, such as fish and meat, on a single plate, also known as “duet” plate.

Buffet Style: The Smorgasbord

In a buffet style wedding, there are long tables that have all of the dinner offerings spread out in one line. Guests would approach this long table and go from one food item to the next. There’s a starting point and guests should be able to get food when it’s their turn to be served. Usually, a wait staff stand behind the buffet to put appropriate food portions on each plate as well as to describe each dish which is essential for guests who have allergies. While the guests are seated and waiting for their turn in the buffet line, it is recommended that a salad or soup is served at the table. Another option is to serve right after they come from the buffet table.

Food Stations

This style features various stations that are set up around the room such as a culturally themed station, a carving station, or a dessert station. Usually, the food served at each station come in smaller portions. This meal style is perfect for large venues since food stations need ample space.

Family-Style Wedding Dinner

Similar to the classic sit-down dinner, guests at a family-style reception are seated at their assigned dinner tables with the waiters bringing the food to the table. Large portions of food are arranged on serving platters and are placed on each table for guests to help themselves and fill their own plates. Think about having dinner at home with your family and everyone is seated around the dinner table.

Cocktail-Style

In a cocktail-style reception, guests are offered hors d’oeuvres and other bite-sized foods. They can either get the food themselves or they get the food from a passing server. This meal style is usually preferred by couples who want a more casual atmosphere and want their guests to really mingle and get to know everyone else in the party.

Food Trucks

The concept of having food trucks roll up in a reception is the most recent development in terms of wedding food ideas. This meal style is perfect for outdoor receptions with wide open spaces. Choose your favorite food truck and you can even choose as many food trucks as you like. Since it will be an al fresco dining, you might have to rent your own chairs and tables.

That wraps our list. Which of these meal styles do you want to incorporate in your wedding party? Which do you think is a better option, the traditional style or the modern one such as having food trucks? We’d love to hear your thoughts so please hit the comment box below.
