The choice of a wedding menu is an intensely personal thing and needs to form part of an integrated overall wedding design together with things such as the cultural feel you are aiming for.
At the Belair Park Country Club, we have an extensive range of catering options which we will gladly share with you. In terms of your wedding venue and associated wedding feast though, here are a few thoughts we offer up by way of helping you choose the general direction you wish to go in.
• You may need to choose between a served menu or a self-service buffet style approach. The former can avoid what some people see as theslightly undignified queuing that can arise when a buffet is involved and make sure that everyone eats at roughly the same time. On the other hand, the more relaxed style of the buffet can sometimes fit into the background context and ‘feel’ of your wedding better if you’ve opted for informality.
• It might be advisable to think carefully about exotic or controversial foodstuffs. The combination of nerves, alcohol, dancing and perhaps very spicy food, may cause some ‘challenges’ for guests who have slightly less robust stomachs.
• Wedding venue catering needs to take into account that in the modern world there is a wide range of dietary preferences. Some of your guests may be vegetarian or Vegan, some may have certain food intolerances and so forth. That’s why having a variety of dishes available for personal choice,as opposed to a single set menu, may be advisable.
• Some of your guests might only be invited to the evening reception as opposed to the earlier meal. If that’s the case, it may be sensible to arrange for some lighter catering and snacks mid-evening.
If we are working to plan your wedding fully with you, we will be only too happy to go through some of these options in more detail.
