5 Wedding Catering Options Your Guests Won’t Be Expecting

When it comes to wedding food, boring formal plated dinners are out and casual fun eats are in. Here are some awesome catering options to think about while planning your wedding this year that haven’t been done a million times before. Serving up these mouth watering morsels is sure the make your day a memorable experience for all.

Food Trucks

Give some of your local businesses a huge boost by hiring them to cater your wedding. Not only will the locals appreciate your business, but your guests will be thrilled at your unique personal taste and take on dining. You can hire a food truck instead of a buffet or sit-down dinner, or you could hire a food truck to come to the reception a few hours in to provide a late night snack for guests who have been drinking and dancing. Food trucks are also budget friendly

Bowl food

Bowl food is lighter than a buffet but is more substantial than canapes, and gives your guest a broader selection to choose from. The fair is served in small stylish ceramic pots with cutlery, and meant to be ate standing up, or on the move. I can’t think of a better way to mix and mingle aPict a wedding.

Picnic

An absolutely perfect idea for an outside wedding reception. Have wicker baskets scattered throughout the reception location stocked with carrots, dips, hard cheeses, flatbreads, grapes, and a bottle of nice wine. Set up a station for guests to grab some of their favorite cocktails, while enjoying a game of croquet on the lawn etc. Have blankets and throws available for people who want them.

BBQ food

Have your favorite BBQ restaurant cater your wedding reception. You don’t have to be out West wearing cowboys at the rodeo to enjoy some authentic BBQ every once in awhile. Think beef brisket, baby back ribs, baked potatoes, sweet potato fries, variations of classic macaroni and cheese, and cornbread. Your guests will love it, and this is also a very kid friendly option if you have a lot of families with kids attending your wedding.

Breakfast for dinner

If you and your fiance are a big fan of brunch, then why not let your guests in on the fun? There’s nothing wrong with serving breakfast for dinner, in fact it’s such a good idea I might do it tonight! If you’re have a country style wedding, serve your guests a country style breakfast. Think sausage and egg casserole, french toast, crispy bacon, cheesy grits, and donut holes with dipping sauces for dessert. Don’t forget to have some mimosas and bloody mary’s to liven things up!

These five ideas are a great way to turn your ordinary every day wedding into something unique and get your guests talking. Not only will guests thank you for your creativity, but your stomach and wallet will as well. Enjoy and bon appetit!
