Dinner Style

You are inviting people to the most special dinner party you’ll ever throw. The food at your wedding is undoubtedly one of the most important elements of the whole event. No matter which style you pick, whether it’s a formal plated dinner or a cocktail-style reception, the menu should reflect the two of you as a couple. With stunning menus that feature hyper-local, hyper-seasonal dishes .Wedding experts at Gotham Catering And Events are here to assist you!

Plated Sit-Down Dinner

The most traditional reception style, a plated meal is what the majority of couples choose. This is when all the guests are seated and served a formal dinner. Typically, it consists of two courses (an appetizer and an entrée), plus dessert if it’s served table-side. Everyone is usually served the same appetizer and then the main course is handled a few different ways: Wedding attendees can sit back and relax as our team of professional servers take orders, deliver courses and clear tables. It immediately sets the tone for a more formal gathering. You have the most control over the look and feel of the meal. You can work closely with Us to execute your vision for the meal. It is an efficient way to serve the reception meal and keeps things running according to schedule.
1. Guests are served the same entrée with a silent vegetarian or vegan alternative.
2. Guests are able to select their entrée from a menu, which is typically a meat or fish option plus a silent vegetarian option.
3. Guests pre-select their entrée choice when they submit their RSVP.

Family-Style Dinner

Wedding Menu Samples

A family-style meal is exactly as it sounds: A popular choice for a wedding dinner, especially for a smaller wedding gathering, is a family-style dinner. This arrangement allows for a more intimate Everyone is seated as big platters and bowls of food are passed around the table, just like you might do with your own family at home. This is a great option if you want to keep people seated at tables but don’t want something as formal as a plated meal. The first course is typically served with about one or two options and the main course includes as few as a protein and two sides or multiple proteins with multiple sides.
• It offers you variety—there are lots of choices, which can be easier to accommodate picky guests or guests with food allergies.
• It makes the reception meal feel more casual and laid-back.
• It’s good for community building—when people are passing the food around their tables, they chat and engage with each other.
• It is an efficient way to serve your meal—you don’t have to wait for people to make it through buffet lines or the stations. Everything lands at the table at roughly the same time and people can help themselves.

Buffet-Style Dinner

A buffet features long tables topped with a wide variety of food options. all from a showcased selection you helped choose for your wedding reception This meal style offers the most variety for your guests, making it particularly desirable if you want a wide range of cuisines or have picky eaters. The most important thing to consider here is how to get your guests through the food lines as quickly and efficiently as possible.
• buffets are great because they can not only pick what they want but how much food they want.
• Abundant buffets can be visually appealing and photogenic when executed well, with vibrant food and a talented design team.

Self-Serve Stations

Stations are very similar to buffets in that they give your guests a nice variety of food options. Stations typically have tables or areas specifically dedicated to certain dishes or types of foods. These are often more interactive and involved than a help-yourself buffet, Our staff will tend to these stations.
This is a great opportunity to get creative and inject your personality as a couple. For example, if you love oysters, do an oyster shucking station. If you’re pizza-obsessed, bring in a pizza oven and have the chef whip up pizzas made-to-order. Love cheese? Put together an epic cheese bar!
• Like buffets, stations offer up great opportunities to create stunning visual displays that lend themselves nicely to photos.
• If there is a dish that would be challenging for guests at a buffet, attended stations are a good workaround.
• Stations encourage guests to interact and engage with each other, particularly if they are chef-attended stations where they are picking from different options and consulting each other about their choices.

Cocktail-Style Weddings Dinner

Buck tradition and do a cocktail-style wedding reception. A selection of passed Hors d’Oeuvres followed by customizable stations can make your wedding dinner feel like the best extended cocktail hour ever imagined. It combats a lot of issues that couples typically face while planning their wedding, like where to sit a bunch of people who don’t seem to fit at any one table. You and your guests can mix, mingle, and dance all night long and snack on small bites (either tray-passed or laid out on a grazing table in advance) whenever you feel like it.
The most important thing here is to offer your guests a nice variety of options, including a few that are vegan/vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free, so there is something for everyone.
• You can easily move around the reception and chat with your guests in a way that some other styles (like a plated dinner) do not allow.
• A cocktail-style event is engaging and interactive for your guests.
• If you want to invite a lot of people but you aren’t able to fund a full meal for that guest count, this is a more cost-friendly approach.

The typical wedding catering package includes cocktail hour appetizers (six passed hors d’oeuvres and one food station typically does the job), the main meal include two protein options, a vegetarian or vegan entree alternative, and accompanying veggie and starch sides), and passed desserts. beverage costs are separate and a cake can be brought in from another vendor.

Service style will have the biggest impact on your catering bill. The more waitstaff and equipment required to distribute a meal to guests, the more costly it will be. This is why family-style service—in which large dishes of each menu item are passed around the tables, as you might at Thanksgiving—is typically the most expensive service style. “Each table gets serving containers and serving silverware, along with enough staff to get the family-style platters to each table without taking too long,”

A three-course meal usually takes two hours to serve and be consumed. This can fluctuate depending on the amount of time required to serve, which is higher for larger guest lists. Servers will usually wait seven to ten minutes after a course has been finished to bring out the following course.

For a plated dinner, the general rule of thumb is to have one server for every 10 to 15 guests (or two tables). For buffet or food stations, one server for every 25 guests is recommended.

Traditionally, plated dinners with entree or dessert options are the only ones that need to be highlighted on the wedding invitations. The information (and preference options) would go on the RSVP card. If you’re planning a cocktail-style dinner, we recommend noting this on the invitation with a simple “Cocktail reception to follow” so guests know to grab a bite beforehand.

The RSVP card, or RSVP section of the wedding website, should leave a space for guests to note any dietary requirements they have.
