Scones, muffins, danish, omelets made to order, bagels, english muffins, juice, mimosas, bloody Mary's, fresh fruit, cheese.  That's all I've got for now.

Smoothie bar, pancakes made to order (choose multigrain or buttermlik, fruit add-ins, etc.), belgian waffles, french toast.  At brunch there's often more of a lunch food, like a hot pasta dish (maybe pasta with sundried tomatoes and fresh mozzarella) or some fish or meat.

How early is the reception?  If it's around 10am I would go with brunch items.  Nothing too heavy since it's so early in the day.  And I like kmmssg's idea about the beverages.  Having just those options may save you some money on your bar tab too.

I would do stations with a breakfast around the world theme!

- Paris-

Champagne and chocolate covered strawberry station... have some sort of champage fountain and mixers so people can make bellinis or mimosas. 

made to order omelettes

crepe station with sweet and savory options for fillings

A a fancy table with artisan breads, fruit, and cheese and croissants

- New York-

Bagels, Bialys with smoked fish, lox, cream cheeses, knishes

-Florence-

Cappuchino bar

Italian hot chocolates

Tiramisu shooters

Fresh Mozzarella Bar

-Mexico-

Huevos Rancheros

Chorizo

Burrito Bar

Corn Cakes

Then, maybe have some passed breakfast type hors d'oeuvres but with a twist---
