Whether you're planning to utilize the
menu and kitchen of your reception location, hire a caterer to provide the
fare at your selected venue, or have a do-it-yourself reception with the
food and beverage selections provided by yourselves or your family and/or
friends, the final decisions for your menu and libations are your
responsibility and a major part of your wedding planning.

2. Taking advantage of seasonal, local produce;

Soup and/or Salad family style
Pasta family style
Chicken with potato and vegetable individual dinners
Bread and condiments on the table
Dessert, most often wedding cake/ice cream on the side
Red and white house wines and water pitchers on the table
Open or cash bar, self-service and/or wait service
