Elegant Dinner Reception



An emerging trend in wedding reception planning is the elegant dinner party as opposed to the more traditional reception which featured dancing (and often massive alcohol consumption).


This new focus on elegance has several benefits, not the least of which is the bridal couple can afford higher quality food and can spend more time visiting with guests when the dancing/drinking portion of the reception is omitted.


An assortment of delicious appetizers and signature cocktails served during the cocktail hour prior to dinner sets the mood and keeps guests circulating. Following the cocktail hour, guests are invited into the dining room where they will be ushered to gorgeously decorated tables.


For a fun twist on the classic buffet, food stations will be distributed around the room - again, to keep guests mingling and visiting. Guests will have their choice of several types of entrees and accompaniments.


The finale of the evening will feature several dessert selections including a fabulous wedding cake.
