Currently working on food logistics for a remote Idaho weekend wedding (idea is still in the mill). Maybe 37 guests. Town has 150 people (none of us are from here). Think "family reunion + meeting of the families + Western vacation" with a wedding.
The town only has two restaurants. Neither serve breakfast. There are two little stores in town that offer groceries (cereal, fruit, yogurt, etc). The cabins have fridge and the lodge rooms have kitchenettes. Those that camp will have coolers usually.
Friday night - most people arrive Friday. We'd serve dinner at a Welcome Picnic. Maybe pizzas we bring in and cook in the oven (our ranch house, aka "wedding headquarters" has a fully equipped kitchen for our use only). Estimate 3 people per large pizza = 12 to 13 pizzas? Then add salad, drinks and dessert.
Saturday day, guests do breakfast and lunch on their own (restaurants do serve lunch).
Saturday night - (wedding reception) we hire a caterer to do a full on Dutch oven dinner. Only a $100 travel fee (!) and prices are $15-19 per person depending on the meats you pick.
- Hickory-smoked barbecued chicken
- Hickory-smoked barbecued pork spare ribs
- South-western chipotle beef chile
- Dutch oven potatoes
- California mixed green salad with your choice of dressing
- Corn on the cob or veggie in season
- Homemade rolls with sweet butter
- Fresh Watermelon Juice and Lemonade
- Peach Cobbler
Then we can add beer, maybe wine and cupcakes (I prefer cupcakes over cake). We'll have to bring the cupcakes (and pizza) in from our town 2 hours away.
Sunday - guests on their own.
How does that sound?
Is it OK for guests to figure out their own breakfast?
