70% of couples are doing buffet-style dinners for their reception.
Are you trying to decide between a plated dinner or buffet?
We have a couple of Pros and Cons for both!
Plated
Pros
- exact food counts are pre-determined
- everyone at the table gets their food at the same time
- formalities can be scheduled between courses
Cons
- limited food options
- requires place cards for guest meal designation
- if your guests are still hungry, there is no additional food
Buffet
Pros
- variety of food choices
- promotes mingling and interacting amongst guests
Cons
- depending on your guests count, it may take a while for all guests to receive their food.
- guests have to carry their own plate, may not be as elegant as some people like.
- requires larger quantities of food, as people eat more when they serve themselves.
