Are you planning your wedding day? You're probably considering whether to have a wedding buffet or a reception. Whether it's a lunch or a dinner, choose the food for both the wedding buffet and the reception thoughtfully. For your inspiration, we've put together some hints and tips for more than just a lunch wedding menu. So let's take a look.

How to choose food for your wedding reception or banquet

There are several aspects you should not neglect when choosing food. After all, you want everyone present to enjoy your day. One aspect is definitely taking into account certain preferences of your guests, thus avoiding unwanted inconveniences. Of course, the number of guests is also related to this. If you are going to have a larger wedding, don't neglect multiple variations of the wedding menu. Also, come up with options that will be suitable for diets and frequent food allergies. Such as lactose-free and gluten-free diets or vegetarian dishes. Don't forget about children and provide children's portions. The last but very important aspect is paying attention to the quality of the ingredients that will make up your menu.

If your wedding will take place in the summer, choose food that is appropriate for the season. For example, it can be some light and fresh salads and other barbecue dishes. On the other hand, in the winter, choose dishes that will not only fill you up but also warm you up!
