Creative Catering Ideas

Food can easily be stated as the best or sometimes worst, part of a wedding. With so many sit-down dinners and buffets, your wedding menu can easily be forgotten. But here we present some creative items and ways to make your wedding menu interesting and memorable!
Cocktail Wedding Receptions
For couples on a limited budget, cocktail receptions are a casual way for guests to mingle and have fun. Specific items are chosen based on the ease with which one can eat them, providing wedding guests with more maneuverability to really have fun—a.k.a. get out on the dance floor!
Comfort Food
Though severely sinful, it’s all the rage in the trendiest restaurants, so it’s only natural that some couples may want down-home comfort food for their wedding such as Philadelphia–style cheese steaks, southern fried chicken, and macaroni and cheese bites! Another creative way to add the comfort feel of home cooking is to serve entrees family-style on decorative platters and china. Fun tip? Mix and match vintage platters for a funky look.
Slider Bar
Whether as part of the reception or a treat for your guests after a night of dancing , slider bars are always a hit with bite-sized burgers and cheeseburgers, crab cakes, and pulled pork sandwiches on buttermilk biscuits.
Regional Cuisine
Take your guests on an exotic and interesting ride through carefully crafted regional menus. Create a menu around a theme such as a Boston Garden Picnic, Napa Valley Picnic, or Polynesian Luau.
Non-Traditional Bars/Stations
These creative stations give guests options and allow them to pick and choose from a variety of delicious fare such as an Asian raw bar, bruschetta bar, tapas bar, or a griddle cake station.
So many fresh and great ideas to bring your wedding menu to life and add even more reason for your guests to get down and party!

Looking for an Officiant?

Looking for a wedding officiant and have no idea where to start? Although many couples generally select their officiant depending upon what religious services they attend, others face the daunting prospect of finding a virtual stranger to play such an integral role on their wedding day. Here are a few tips of things to look for when searching for an officiant:

1. Look over their websites if they have one. Many officiant sites provide helpful links and testimonials. Some may include videos of ceremonies they have done before and also include practical information, like how to apply for a marriage license or name change. Some sites even have worksheets and outlines to help couples write their vows!

2. When you meet your potential officiants, don’t rush through the conversation. It is important for you to feel comfortable with them; after all, they are marrying you! Weddings can often be filled with unpredictable moments; you need to find someone who is highly adaptable to any situation.

3. Above all, if you can avoid it, don’t "settle" for an officiant. If you don’t feel at ease around them, or strongly disagree on philosophical or religious issues, keep looking! Your ceremony should be tailored to what the two of you believe is important.
