Food and Beverage stations have been a trend for weddings this year. Instead of the normal sit-down, plated meals, couples are opting for stations. Stations allow couples to offer a larger variety of options. Guests can try all the options or stick to a few they really like.
Although plated meals are absolutely delicious and amazing, stations can leave your guests talking about it for a long time after your wedding. Stations are more interactive and often very entertaining such as Thomas Caterers' "Smoking Gun" or "Fire & Ice" stations.
We have found that stations give your guests the optimal socializing experience. Instead of being stuck in a single seat for the serving of salad, entree and dessert. Your guests can get up and move around between visiting stations and meeting your other guests.
The Himalayan Salt Block station is a crowd favorite, featuring a Beef and Tuna option.
