Buffet
At a buffet, guests select their food from either one long table or stations strategically placed throughout the room.
An advantage is that you can serve a varied menu from which guests can choose what they like. Having a buffet-style meal does not mean that you have to sacrifice sophistication. A buffet can be formal when served by stylish waitstaff or more relaxed with self-serve stations.
Things to consider with a buffet
A buffet-style wedding reception typically stimulates mingling and socializing, which can be ideal for a festive affair. In addition to the regular single table buffet, food stations are a nice variation that can add to the meal’s overall presentation.
Consider having your florist place a centerpiece that revolves around your decorating scheme in the buffet area.
Whether you opt for assigned seating or even a seat for each and every guest is your choice, but at least try to provide a suitable place for guests to eat. If your guest list is large, you may want to consider a different serving style, as the buffet line may back up, resulting in a group of hungry and impatient guests.
Budget
Although you will save on the cost of waitstaff by presenting your meal buffet style, the total cost may not be less. People tend to eat more because they can return to the buffet as often as they wish, so you may need to order more food, which can cut into your wedding budget. Again, costs depend almost entirely on what you choose to serve.
