If you’re not being able to pay for a wedding catering service to fully cater your event you can save with some low-cost ideas. Don’t forget about the wedding cake and the beverages. Here are four ideas that can help save on the catering services.
1. Salad Luncheon/Reception
If the wedding is late morning you can provide a wonderful salad luncheon.
2. Hors d’oeuvres Reception – Deli/Party Trays Reception
This event is best placed between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM or after an evening wedding. Light finger foods should be provided, like fruit and vegetable platters, chips and dips, and crackers. You can also provide more substantial foods like meat and cheese trays, oysters, shrimp cocktails chicken wings and egg rolls.
3. Decadent Dessert Reception or Dessert Party
It’s appropriate between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM and after an evening wedding.
4. A Simple Cake and Punch Reception
As long as it’s not during meal time you can let your guests serve cake.
Ways To Save On Your Wedding Catering
Executive summary about wedding catering by Nicola Ray
With most weddings these days, the wedding catering follows a set formula of canapés with the reception drinks before a three-course sit-down meal, followed later that evening with a hot buffet. With all this food, it’s not surprising that the wedding catering costs are huge.
Here are some top tips to cutting the cost of your wedding catering:
- You could easily cut the evening buffet
- Opt for smaller companies
By avoiding the large professional catering companies, you’ll reduce your wedding catering costs. Many small restaurants or small, local catering businesses are able to provide food for large events, including weddings.
- Do it yourself
If everyone pitches in a little you can make light work of catering. It will take a little planning, but with a simple buffet menu it is easily achieved.
- Consider providing party foods, snacks or plenty of canapés for a champagne reception.
- Consider a catering college
In virtually every city there is a catering college and often these offer additional services. Contact your local education authority to source your nearest college. Even if they don’t do the catering, you may find a number of students willing to serve at your wedding.
