We had our tasting on Sunday and decided on a dual plate of barramundi fish and spinach and asiago cheese stuffed chicken - both of which we thought were delicious. However the surgeon I work for and my dad both said something about not having a steak in the menu. At the tasting we tried the sirloin, tenderloin, and filet and we just weren't a fan. So I guess my question is - Is it bad not to have steak on the menu? Will guests be disappointed?

I say kudos to being able to afford steak - and that it sounds like your background and the guests that would be attending this wedding, have higher dinner expectations. I understand that you were not a fan of the steak - but was it good enough for someone like your Dad? If so, the I would have three choices which are all standard - beef, chicken, or fish. Satisfies everyone. (I assumed this was a sit-down dinner too).

Good luck!

NO! I hate steak at weddings! It's never cooked the way you want it! We're having chicken, roast beef, and ham. So I say, it's no problem.

We're Married!! And I couldn't be happier!

Ugh, that's tough! I think chicken and beef are the two most universally served (and liked) entrees. The fish sounds like it would be amazing! However, I feel like many people are pickier about fish than they are about steak.

I guess it comes down to the beef/chicken combo adequately pleasing most people and the fish/chicken combo wowing some people and disappointing others.

We wanted steak on our menu too, however, it rarely turns out well at a reception because they sit in the chafing dishes and cook longer than they are supposed too. So we ended up with a braised beef rib, which was to die for. And it won't matter if it sits a bit longer and cooks.

I would say eat what you guys like. Period. If you don't like the steak, chances are guests won't either.

hey girl!

everyone, including my parents, RAVED about their steaks! I think britt and i got the ones that were on the longest and served first bc they were totally overcooked.

We did steak, fish and chicken or pork ( I can't remember which one).

Also, the food there is really really good. I had numerous people tell me that it was the 'best wedding food' they had. Don't sweat the selection, bc everything will be great regardless.

I think fish and chicken are completely fine! We are also doing a duet plate (steak/salmon, but that's because they were our favorite at the tasting).

People will be happy with whatever you serve! Go with whatever choice you are confident will taste good.

This might make me a debbie downer, but I think unless the food is phenomenal or really bad, people don't really remember it anyway. And, I think it's really hard for mass produced food to be phenomenal. Pick what you think was good based on the tasting and move forward.

Thank you everyone for the advice.

Flower - I agree, I couldn't tell you what I've eaten at wedding before and I have never had a meal at a wedding I raved about.

Heb - Exactly what we were thinking, we had steak at 2 weddings in October and neither was good.

I think we are going to stick with what we liked. I think we have done a lot of planning little special things for our guests and overall I think everything will be nice, including the menu, which we loved, and I'm gonna try not to fret it. Thanks, thanks thanks!
