How does this menu sound?

GrizBearGirl · May 2011

The venue is a bed and breakfast - wedding reception will be outside around 2pm in June. We don't want a formal reception - more casual, mingle, type of thing, but brunch and tea aren't really words that describe it either. The music is an ipod, and we will have a dance floor, but probably not a tent. I'm hoping for small tables, and the colors are blush and bashful if you like Julia Roberts, or pink and pink if you like Sally Fields. The menu that we're giving to the venue is:

Rolls with assorted butters

vegetable tray w/ hummus, tzatziki dip, pita crackers

cheese tray

fruit tray

Caprese salad

caesar salad

deviled eggs

shrimp cocktail

baked ham (sliced on trays)

baked turkey (sliced on trays)

marinated mushrooms

cucumber goat cheese spirals

pickles, olives

some sort of a starcy salad, but not a picnic salad

coffee, tea, lemonade, iced tea, red wine, chardonnay, riesling, long neck beers, champagne

brownies, chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, lime bars, orange bars, wedding cake

on tables bowls of pillow mints, hersheys kisses, regular almonds.

Is there enough? Not enough? not formal enough? Would you be happy to go to that reception?

I think for a 2pm reception the foods you have chosen are good. If you wanted to make it more formal you could have some of your foods passed butler style. It sounds like you will have plenty of selection.

I think it sounds great! I would love to have that meal at a wedding.

I think it sounds like enough food and variety. As for formal it depends on the level you want. I think if the presentation is good it make almost anything formal. So I would say formal enough too.
