Who gets invited to the wedding food tasting?

It’s best to limit who you take with you. It’s usually best if the tasters are just you and your groom, and perhaps one or two trusted critics. It’s nice to include your moms, especially if they’re footing all or part of the bill, or the best man and maid of honor.

Do you charge for food tasting?

PRICING: As mentioned above, if you have signed a contract already with the company, a tasting is often complimentary, but if there are special requests, there may be extra charges associated. This cost is often added to the overall cost of the event, which can be paid off at a later date.

Is it tacky to have a buffet at your wedding reception?

There is no right or wrong here. People sometimes ask if a buffet dinner is tacky for a wedding reception. It’s not a question of tacky or not. On the other hand, if you’re having an informal fun party at a nightclub, a cocktail reception might be your best option.

Do guests need to eat later on after a wedding?

The answer in 95\% of cases has to be yes.

Let’s not forget you’ve been giving them champagne and wine all day – they need something to soak it up with!

What is a wedding tasting and should you have one?

A wedding tasting is when you taste the menu items, or proposed menu items, with your caterer for your reception.

If you haven’t selected a caterer yet, this might help you make your decision.

How do you plan a successful wedding menu?

To begin, calculate what amount of your budget will be used for the food. Once you know how much you will be spending on the food, you will then be able to plan an appropriate menu around that number. Next using your guest list, plan on feeding about 75 percent of your guest list.
