Here are a few serving ideas for each course of a wedding meal:
Appetizers: Appetizers can be served as passed hors d'oeuvres, on a platter at a food station, or as a spread on a charcuterie board.
Salad: Salad can be served as a plated starter course or as a self-serve option at a salad bar.
Soup: Soup can be served as a plated starter course or as a self-serve option at a soup station.
Entree: Entrees can be served as a plated main course or as a self-serve option at a buffet.
Sides: Sides can be served family-style, with platters of food placed on the table for guests to serve themselves, or as a self-serve option at a side dish station.
Dessert: Dessert can be served as a plated course or as a self-serve option at a dessert bar or station.
It's a good idea to consider the size of your wedding, the layout of your venue, and the preferences of your guests when deciding on serving options for each course.
