Never underestimate the important role food plays at a wedding. The impact of your dining fare can easily be measured in the smiles of your guests and the great memories of your very special day.
When planning a wedding, couples should be aware that food choices, like wedding dresses, frequently rely on popular trends. To help punctuate your wedding with that hard-to-define sense of style, take into account both your personal preferences and the current trends.
At Sandman Gourmet, we keep on top of what’s new in wedding catering because our couples deserve fine foods that reveal personality and style. If you’re planning an upcoming wedding, your menu really does matter! The following trends in wedding catering represent what's new and hot nationwide.
• Color it Perfect: Design a food menu that matches your signature colors.
• Stay Seasonal: Consider your catering menu based on the season of your wedding. Example: Serve an apple-maple glazed chicken with pumpkin cheesecake during the fall or a lemon-grilled salmon with steamed fresh vegetables during the summer.
• Family-Style: Serving guests family-style is no longer just for Sunday dinners. It can save you money, take the stuffiness out of a formal sit-down meal and encourage guest interaction.
• Think Green - Think Local: While serving organic is still a popular option, the newest trend includes serving local food products that support the sustainable farm-to-fork concept. It also helps stimulate the local economy and provide a truly unique wedding reception.
• A Kids’ Menu With Sass: It’s not just macaroni anymore. Today’s kids are more sophisticated in their culinary tastes. Kick it up a level when planning a kids’ menu. It should be healthy, tasty and fashionable.
• Global Is Good: Exotic ingredients and foods like Middle Eastern herbs and sauces can add zip and zing to your menu and the palette of your guests.
• Tasting Menus: Tasting menus are being seen at black-tie weddings. Serve five to seven mini courses – even pair them with a different wine for each course.
• Interactive Culinary Kiosks: Some caterers are creating interactive culinary stations like a Sushi Station or a Chef’s Bar with tapas-style food.
• Couture Cakes Are In: Large traditional, multi-tiered wedding cakes have taken a back seat to Couture Wedding Cakes. These cakes are one of the hottest trends along with small individual cakes for each guest.
While delicious and healthy foods never go out of fashion, wedding menus that emphasize these catering trends will excite, delight and make your wedding a one-of-a-kind event.
