Expert: Vestals Catering, Full-service catering

Weddings are unforgettable occasions, filled with joy, laughter, love, and, of course, delicious food. At Vestals Catering, we believe that at the heart of every memorable celebration, there should be a carefully curated menu that not only pleases the palate but also reflects the unique bond of the couple. Crafting your menu isn’t just about choosing a meal—it’s about creating an experience.

Here’s a look at our step-by-step guide to creating the perfect wedding menu:

1. Consider the Season.

Let nature’s bounty inspire your menu. A summer wedding calls for light, refreshing fare, while a winter wedding can showcase hearty dishes. We encourage seasonal menus, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, as this not only ensures the freshest taste but also aligns with the beauty of the season.

2. Make it Personal.

Your wedding menu should be a culinary reflection of your journey together. Do you have a cherished memory of your first date at a sushi bar? Or a special dish you love to cook together at home? Including personal touches will make your menu all the more special and memorable. At Vestals, we craft each menu uniquely for every couple, creating a flavorful reflection of your love story.

3. Think about Service Style.

Determine the formality of your wedding service and the atmosphere you want to create. Are you envisioning an elegant and formal affair or a more relaxed and casual celebration? If you’d like a more relaxed, mingling-centric event, a stationed dinner could be your go-to. Whatever your vision, our team has the experience and know-how to execute it perfectly.

4. Keep the Timeline in Mind.

Your wedding timeline can significantly impact your catering needs. A longer cocktail hour may necessitate more hors d’oeuvres, while a late-night ending might call for fun late-night snacks. Whether you’re opting for an intimate brunch wedding or a grand evening event, we tailor the menu to your specific needs and schedule.

5. Plan According to Your Budget.

Your budget plays a significant role in determining the type of menu you offer. A customized buffet is typically the most cost-effective option, while plated or stationed dinners might incur higher costs, due to a heavier demand on staffing and rentals. No matter your budget, we’re committed to providing a fantastic experience that offers the best value for your investment.

In the end, the perfect wedding menu isn’t just about what’s served—it’s about how it’s served. It’s about creating an experience that makes everyone feel special and cared for. It’s about crafting moments of connection and celebration around delicious food. At Vestals, we don’t just serve meals—we serve experiences.
