The reception is as important as the ceremony. After the newlyweds say their vows, walk down the aisle and share a kiss, guests look forward to the meal served. Finding the perfect marriage catering service is not easy. The choice of catering service will depend on a number of factors including the number and type guests, food preferences, wedding theme, as well as budget.

Here are some types of wedding caterers to consider if food is a part of your wedding planning.

1) Plated Dinner

Plated dinners are perfect for formal events, like weddings. The guests are seated and their meals are ordered in advance. In some instances, guests can order immediately after they are seated. The food is prepared with care, presented beautifully, and served in courses. Remember that plated meals are typically the most expensive type of wedding catering.

2) Buffet

Buffets are the best option for wedding catering if you have guests who are hungry. A buffet is more relaxed and affordable than a formal dinner. The food is placed in large warming dishes at one or more long tables. The servers place the proper portion on each plate as guests line up. The buffet menu is available to guests.

Food Stations

The food stations provide more variety and freedom than a traditional buffet. The guests can customize their meals according to their diet and preferences. Food stations, unlike a buffet style meal, are divided into tables with different items in each category. One table may be devoted to meats, while another is devoted to bread and cheese.

Cocktail Style

Cocktail-style catering is a great option for weddings that are modern and casual. Catering services of this type allow guests to mingle and meet. Menus are mainly composed of bite-sized portions of both hot and cold foods. A banquet dinner is one option, but you can also opt for an open-air reception.

Food Trucks

Food trucks can add a special touch to outdoor receptions. They provide a unique dining experience to guests who wish to interact with other people and learn more about the food of Illinois or Iowa. The guests can also see the ingredients and the preparation of the meals.
