Food Stations

I am looking for food stations for my wedding.  I would ideally like to have several fun ones, like hot dogs, gyros, and maybe a carving station.  I am open.  I am having a hard time finding caterers that specialize in food stations.  Any help?

    I am pretty sure any caterer would do this for you, I would just ask. This will be more expensive than a typical plated meal (I priced it out) because they have to hire someone to work each station. They also can't predict as well how much people will eat, so they need more food. I love the idea though!

    I didn't work with any caterers, but I know a few of the venues I looked at had things like this right on their price list as options.

    I really thought it would be cheaper because it's less fancy food.  That is disappointing.  Money is definitely an issue for me.  Any reasonable caterers you know of would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hearty Boys had stations - including a carving station and pasta station.  I'll send you a PM as well!

    One I did look at was Froggy's, which was pretty reasonable IMO, but I was only looking in the city. Also, it is always worth asking, you never know what people are willing to compromise! I know, I was bummed too, I loved that idea!

    Me too! I was shocked when I found out in all my research that the plated meals are always cheaper - at least everywhere I looked!
