What is the most budget-friendly food to serve at a wedding?

If you’re looking to save a few more bucks here and there, consider hosting a semi-private reception rather than private after your ceremony. In fact, it may be included as part of your destination wedding menu package. You’ll only have to worry about paying for finger foods at the cocktail hour should you choose any. You also have the option to continue the night at on-site nightclubs or lounges afterward.

Still interested in serving more substantial plates? Limit your reception meals to food stations or heavier appetizers. With themed areas such as prime rib cutting stations or expanded salad bars, you can still offer delectable options with a luxurious flair.

Destination wedding catering will elevate your cocktail hour and reception. With mouthwatering options available via all-inclusive packages, you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank to serve the best cuisine. The only “problem” you’ll have is choosing between Beef Wellington and grilled mahi-mahi or even open bar and closed bar. No matter what you choose to serve at your destination wedding, you’re set up for success!
