My fiancé and I are considering serving breakfast/brunch style food for our evening reception. The cocktail hour will be from 7-8pm, and will include normal hors d'oeuvres. Since dinner then won't be served until later, and since we have never really been wowed by "fancy" wedding meals (lame steak or chicken with overly garlicky potatoes and three super soft carrots), we have decided that we would love to serve a "late night breakfast" style meal instead of a traditional dinner. We have not yet selected a caterer, and are open to plated, buffet, stations, or family style serving. We will have 200 guests, cocktail attire, and our venue is a large atrium space in an interactive children's museum.
We've gotten mostly positive feedback from our friends, but our parents have concerns about the older guests at our wedding. And my father is pushing for a more traditional, plated meal.
So now I'm turning to you all! What would be your reaction if you attended a wedding that served breakfast for dinner?? Please, be honest; all input is valued!
