However, this wedding itself was just soo...uggghhh, so I don't know if I was just disliking everything about the wedding/reception, or I really don't find buffet to tasteful.
What do you think-honestly? What is your perception of buffet/wait staff wedding? Do buffets say I'm trying to cut costs and I can't really afford this place?
I am sincerely asking, like I said I have only been to one buffet reception and it should be written up in this thread for reasons having nothing to do with the buffet.

You probably posted this long ago, but buffets actually cost MORE than seated meals (when speaking in terms of food prices). If they only offer buffets, don't worry. It doesn't amke you look tacky. This is what you need to do:
1. Dress up your buffet. Don't just have the food up there. Place a floral arrangement and some themed props around the food (a la if it's a fall wedding, place pumpkins on the table, or perhaps a fill a horn of plenty with dinner rolls).
2. Move people quickly. Have entertainment and direct people to the beffet as soon as they walk in from the cocktail hour and find their table.
3. Enjoy your day...you'll be having too much fun to realize the buffet...you'll be focused on your new HUSBAND!!! |
