Looking to create a more intimate feeling at your reception? There is a strong turn towards embracing casual elegance, and like any other party of close friends and family, your reception dinner goal is to bring a table full of people who may not know each other into conversation.Many couples are choosing to use their dinner style to initiate interaction and interest. Family-style serving is quickly becoming the hot trend of the year, though it is not a service that every catering company provides so you want to be sure to ask early on. Rather than excusing your party table by table to the buffet, or incurring the high cost of a plated dinner service, family-style service will provide your guests with a platter of each menu item to the table. Guests then serve themselves, circulating the platter and stimulating conversation. This is executed best with a two course system, the first being salad service with bread or rolls similar to a restaurant, and the second course being the entrees and side dishes. For an extra touch, you may decide to add a third course with a plated dessert and save your beautiful wedding cake for later in the evening.
