  Is your wedding a fall theme, or just taking place in October? To me, food dictates a theme If you're looking for a true fall themed menu, here is what I think of:

  
  

  Harvest salad (mixed greens, cranberries, apples and walnuts)

  House Salad

  
  

  Roasted pork loin with cranberry and orange  chutney

  Roasted chicken

  Pumpkin ravioli with sage butter sauce

  
  

  Specialty drink: Apple cider and rum

  Specialty dessert: Apple  and pumpkin pie

  
  

  If you're not into this, I don't think lasagna, grilled chicken and salad really scream "Fall". It doesn't meal these aren't OK to serve, but it's kind of boring and I think you can have fun with fall themed foods.

  Hmmm...maybe if you're football fans you could do a gourmet take on Tailgating foods to celebrate fall and football season (to me, the two are interchangeable!)  Here's just a couple things I was able to think of...

  
  

  Buffalo chicken tender roll-ups (chicken fingers tossed with buffalo sauce rolled into a tortilla with lettuce, tomato, and ranch drizzle. Sliced thin. 

  
  

  Spinach and artichoke dip

  
  

  Puff pastry wrapped chorizo with spicy mustard dip

  
  

  Loaded baked potato soup (can be vegetarian w/o bacon) 

  
  

  Beer can chicken quarter served over gnocchi (or pasta if that's more your cup of tea) in a bacon-parmesan sauce and topped with a sour cream drizzle 

  
  

  And, why not, lasagna!

  It sounds like you could do an Italian-themed menu.  Do you have a wedding "theme?"  If you want lasagna, grilled chicken, salad, etc. why not have a "Romantic Italian dinner" complete with lasagne (with meat sauce,) caesar salad topped with grilled chicken, etc.?
  
  Here is what I would serve (if I were doing an Italian-themed dinner.  If you're doing an Autumn wedding, you could do "Autumn in Italy" as a theme...keep the Autumn colors and such if that's what you're doing, but make it Italian based on the food you want:)
  
  Beef Lasagna
  Penne Pasta with Vegetarian-friendly sauce
  Caesar Salad or a nice house salad with Italian House dressing
  Garlic Bread

  Thanks!! It's not really a fall theme as far as food. It's just an October wedding with brown & orange colors.
