Hello!
I was wondering about people's experiences with these different systems. As for cost, this is what I have heard: Buffet would require less servers, but need more table rentals. Food stations also need only a few servers, but can be way more expensive per person due to the quantity of food. Plated menus need way more servers and a kitchen person, which can also be expensive.
What are you experiences with food quality and atmosphere with these options? Buffets seem to be the cheaper way to go, but can they be done nicely? Food stations provide more mingling and options for the guests, but can be expensive. Are they worth it? Plated menus are fancy, and expensive. Again, worth it?
I guess I'm really debating between buffet and food stations, because I like the idea of people getting up and mingling. Thoughts on how this worked for your weddings?
