12 Unique Meal Suggestions for Your Event
December 2, 2008
Recently, a couple asked me what options could they consider for their buffet selections outside of the typical “chicken, beef or fish.” The answer is: stations! Instead of having one long buffet line of silver serving trays, go for 4+ stations that offer unique cuisine options and decorative motifs. Check with your caterer to see what they offer and what they can accomodate. Overwhelmed by options? Select 2 stations that represent your hometown and 2 that represent your favorite vacation destinations. Here’s a long list of suggestions to get you started:
- Bruschetta Station
- Macaroni & Cheese station
- Gourmet Pizza in mini sizes
- Slider bar
- Sushi station
- Sweet & Savory Crepes
- Mashed Potato bar
- Chicken Wing bar
- Pasta bar
- Stir-Fry station
- Yogurt Parfait bar
- Fajita or Taco station

These are all good ideas!
I love the mac and cheese station.
I have to figure out what I will be serving for breakfast on the reception day. I don’t want to do the regular bagels and cream cheese but I know whatever I decide it has to be easy to eat and not too heavy. Maybe I can set up little breakfast stations.
Thanks for the idea.
You can never go wrong with a Taco/Fajita station! Yum! Love the idea of a bruschetta station too.
I gotta say, the three meat station at my wedding was the shizzz
I love, love, love this idea! It so amazing and refreshing to see simple, down-home food literally make it’s way up the food chain to “chic-dom”.
Great idea! Keep ‘em coming!
Love the photo of the martini mashed potato bar. Thanks!
