We booked our venue space last week. They offer catering, but we can also bring in other catering from outside for an extra fee ($100). Originally we were looking at their menu and thinking how easy it would be just since it's prepared right there, we save the $100 fee, etc. I've recently spoken with person organizing everything and found out that you can only choose one entree for an entire group. We were origally thinking of offering at least 2. After finding this out, I took a second look at the menu. There is an option for a soup and sandwich meal but im not sure that's the vibe i wanted to go for. we're havign a vintage style wedding in a century court house and hall. however, it is lunch reception and those are more "lunchy" foods. FI and I are both foodies and we were looking forward to a delicious meal on our wedding that we and our guests will heartily enjoy.
I think that the option of one entree for the whole group (ie: roast beef) is out of the running. i dont want to force my guests to eat something they don't like. is the soup/sandwich think going to have the same vibe to it? i mean, i love seafood chowder personally, but i was kind of hoping for something elegant and im not sure of soup/sandwiches give out that vibe. thoughts?
Edit: Oh, by the way - as i mentioned, we do have the option of going with an outside caterer. It would cost us about an extra $1,000 or so....
