Weddings
Plated service
The most formal of the three service types, plated service allows guests to enjoy their food without having to get up. A server will bring out beautifully plated meals directly to the table. Everything is pre-portioned and can be expertly plated for a “foodie” experience. It’s most costly because you will need 1 server for every 8 guests and larger kitchen staff for plating. (this is available for smaller groups and only if the venue equipment allows)
Family style service
Encourages conversation, helps pace the meal and ultimately brings your guests together. After cocktail hour, guests will sit down to pre-set tables and not have to worry about getting back up. The food is served table-side presented on platters or bowls to be passed around between your guests at each table(usually tables of 8). There are variations where salad or one of the appetizers can be individually plated. Helps making your guests experience even more memorable. A bit more staff is needed here than say, a buffet. This ensures guests get fed around the same time and servers can give each table the attention they need. Platters, bowls and serving utensils included in the price.
Buffet style service
This style consists of platters or chafing dishes of foods artfully arranged on stand alone buffet tables. Guests usually move along the buffet line and serve themselves or an attendant will assist with the main courses. When their plates are filled, guests take them to a dining table to eat. Servers usually provide tableside beverage service. This style of service allows for a little bit lower staff costs but longer dinner time even with a two sided buffet line, you will have people lined up to take their turn.
