Sentimental Reason Wedding Reception Menu

An elegantly casual buffet with easy-to-prepare food is perfect for a daytime outdoor wedding reception.
Planning Ahead
  • Get commitments for help making the food from family and friends.
  • Borrow or rent platters, bowls, and utensils as needed.
  • Serve from a variety of heights -- use cake stands, multitiered platters, and pretty bowls turned upside-down with snug-fitting platters on top.
  • Do as much prep ahead of time as possible.
  • Have plenty of refrigeration or coolers available at wedding site.
  • Use large bowls, for less refilling.
Food Safety
  • If food will be sitting on buffet for several hours, especially if weather is hot, prepare to keep food cold.
  • Set platters of sandwiches containing meats and cheeses directly on bed of ice.
  • If weather is very hot serve perishables in small bowls or platters and replenish often.
Waiters
  • Assign several people the task of keeping buffet fresh.
  • If you don't want to burden friends or relatives, hire high school or college students.
  • Local restaurant staff may also be available to serve.
