Booked our venue

SRRL18

On Friday we visited our venue, signed the contract and gave a deposit. We also found out that there will be renovations done, namely to add an elevator to the 2nd floor where the bathrooms are located, and they will be adding aesthetic appeal to the outside. Tell me what you think of our menu.

Cocktail hour will include a punch (alcoholic and non alcoholic) and an international buffet which includes:
Smoked salmon
Assorted cold cuts
Cold shrimps on pyramid
Poached salmon medallions
Hummus
Fattouche
Bruschetta with crackers
Assorted cheeses
Baguette
Flambéed shrimps
Deep fried calamari
Tortellini rosé
Chicken souvlaki
Pineapple chicken
Mini quiches
Spicy chicken wings

Soup: Minestron
Pasta: Meat ravioli
Salad: Ceasar
Main: Filet mignon with Greek potatoes and asparagus
Sweet table:
Mirrors of fruits
Mini French pastries
Greek pastries
Candy Station
Hot pizza
Panini

Do you think it's too much? I've been to 2 receptions at the venue where we are having ours. One had the same cocktail food that we are having, the other had hot/cold hors d'oeuvrs and the international buffet had such an impact on the entire feeling of the party, I found the guests mingeled a lot more than they did at the reception with hot/cold hors d'ouevrs.

Ok, I'm rambeling now. Sorry!

You already chose all of your food? We haven't even begun to think about food since it's still a year and a half away.

Wow!!! You have been busy!!! I think your menu sounds delicous... I guess for me it all depends on how many guest you are having if its a large number then I feel that its fine...

I was gonna ask about the size of your guest list too :-)

I'd also try to include more substantial vegetarian choices (or swap out a couple) if you have any vegetarian guests, just a thought.

I would second the vegetarian options...a good deal of my guests including my fiance are vegetarian...if there aren't many vegetarians on your guest list, it may not be so much of an issue but still, to be on the safe side it could be something to consider :-)

I think that this is a great menu.  I'm sure they will make appropriate amounts depending on the size of the wedding.  Sounds yummy to me!
