Carved Buffet

Buffet for a wedding?

We’re planning our wedding in Vegas, where we live. We’re expecting 150 guests who are mostly coming in from the east coast.

What is your opinion on a buffet style dinner for a wedding? We will be having a salad, 3 entrees with a carving station for rib eye, 2 accompaniments (a vegetable dish and a starch dish) along with deserts. There will also be hor d’oeuvres served before the reception.

Or should we stick with a traditional sit down dinner, that people on the east coast are used to?

Thanks in advance.

I’m on the east coast and I am use to having a sit down dinner. However, I have been to weddings that were buffet. IMO, a buffet is fine as long as it’s presented well. If the food is served in nice chaffing dishes and attended by white gloved waiters, it will still be as fancy as any sit-down.

Plus, craving stations are very elegant, especially if you can get the waiter to crave the pieces as people walk up to the table.

Also, in college I worked at a country club. I never saw a buffet for a party or a wedding. But, every Sunday morning the club had a HUGE buffet brunch. Nicest looking buffet I’ve ever seen. The tables were dressed beautifully, I had to wear my black pants, white waiter’s coat, a crisp apron and white gloves. I stood next to the table and made sure it remained SPOTLESS and the food fresh. We never let anything sit out. I also moved people along and called the tables up so there was NO traffic jams.

If you find a place with similar standards, you can have a very elegant and high-end buffet. The reason buffets have a bad name is because people typically throw any type of food together, they don’t keep it fresh and they prepare it fast and without worrying about quality.

If you find a places that prides itself on serving good food (buffet or not) and making sure the buffet remains clean, fresh, spotless and well organized, you’ll blow your guests away.
