Dinner or hors d'ouerves or dessert buffet?

Hello ladies

We are holding an evening wedding on a Friday around 7:30pm followed immediately by reception. The wedding will be on the beach, and the reception venue is steps away from said beach

If you were going to a wedding at that time of evening, what type of food would you be expecting? There will also be an open bar involved.

Thanks for your input

It ultimately depends on the formality of the wedding, but I would expect dinner to be served at the reception. Look at things from your guests point of view, they will be getting ready for the wedding/traveling to the wedding over the dinner hour.

I would agree, go for dinner and dessert!

If there's an open bar, you definitely want more than a dessert buffet... things will get messy quickly!

I vote for either hors d'oeuvres + dessert buffet or a dinner.

Before 8:00 pm I would expect dinner.

i would expect dinner as well, which often times ends up being cheaper than an all hors d'oeuvres menu.

Thanks for the input ladies! It actually does seem to be less expensive to do the dinner than an hors d'ouerves buffet!
