Need Lunch food ideas for reception!

FutureKite09

My fiance and I are getting married in October and decided to have our wedding at 11am and having a lunch type reception. Any ideas on the food we should have served? When I think of eating at this time of day, I think of sandwiches and veggie trays. I want something more "elegant" than that if you will... Any ideas would sure help me out ALOT!

Thanks.

When I hear brunch, I think of an omelet station and Belgian waffle station, bacon, sausage, some kind of potatoes, pastries, fruit, plus some lunch options.  Are you  hiring a caterer?  I'm sure they would have a brunch menu or ideas for you.

I've been to weddings at that time of day with both breakfast and lunch items.

I've also been to weddings at that time of day with filet of beef cut at your table.

Really you can do anything you want.  People generally eat whatever is put infront of them.  If the meal is heavier than they normally would eat, they just have a lighter meal at dinner.

Brunch is mainly breakfast food with a few lunch type items thrown in. Omelets, waffles, etc are common brunch menu items at most restaurants.

11am ceremony meaning food after 12 is not brunch IMO.  I would do lunch.  A friend of mine did pizza and I liked that.  I tried different pizzas I normally would not order in fear of not liking and wasting money.

At that time of day, you could do anything  you want -- go light and casual with sandwich type things, go formal with filet mignon, choose a buffet brunch with breakfast and lunch items... Honestly you can't go wrong at that time of day with anything, but to me "elegant" would be a full sit-down meal with dinner type entrees.
