Planning Your Wedding Menu

January 4, 2025 | Catering, Weddings

At Paramount Events, we believe one of the best ways to celebrate any occasion is by sharing a meal with your loved ones.

 

Your wedding day is no exception. We understand the importance of crafting a wedding menu that reflects your personality, impresses your guests, and enhances their overall experience of your special day. Planning a wedding menu can be daunting, but we’re here to guide you. As we create menus for our clients, we carefully consider seasonality, your and your guest’s preferences, and the style of food service to ensure that our food aligns with your vision.  

Seasonality 

When planning your wedding menu, we love embracing the season of your big day to highlight fresh, in-season ingredients. By partnering with incredible local vendors like Mick Klug Farms, Nichols Farm, MightyVine, Janie’s Mill, and many others, we ensure your menu showcases the best flavors the season has to offer. Let your wedding season inspire everything from your menu to your décor, creating a cohesive and memorable experience.

Personalized Touch 

When planning your wedding menu, it’s possible to keep in mind the tastes and preferences of your guests. While it may not be possible to cater to everyone’s tastes, you can personalize the menu to resonate with your extended family’s preferences and traditional eating habits. We encourage you to incorporate flavors that bring back memories of your hometown, shared family meals, and favorite restaurants. 

Style of Food Service 

Choosing the style of food service for your wedding is an important decision that will determine your guests’ menu and overall experience. A plated service is recommended for a formal reception as it allows for more control over the timing and flow of events between courses. This service also makes it easier to integrate speeches, cake-cutting, and first dances seamlessly. However, a station-style service may be better if you want a more relaxed and casual reception where guests can dine leisurely.
