Menu Ideas for OD Wedding

We are having our outdoor wedding here http://dixonfamilyfarm.com/index.html for approx. 65 people.
We are doing the food ourselves-buffet style
We want a rustic-chic affair, so I don't want BBQ ribs or a cookout.
But it will still be hot in Ohio in September, even for our 6:30 PM wedding (potential 80+ degrees).
Any ideas on a menu that is not picnic-y?
I'm thinking Salmon on the grill (but not grilling there), but in chaffe dishes and snow peas (not together, but as two items).  I like the BBQ Salmon like they have at Cheesecake factory yum yum.  Need another meat-chicken probably, not sure what though...It's still summer so I don't want it to be too heavy. HELP!!!

    I love the PP menu so many choices!

    Is there an area to heat up the food in an oven or will it be coming hot from the house?

    I am having a waterside reception and we are grilling fresh as well. We are having Oni ribs, jerk chicken, chicken & shrimp kabobs. For our sides we are having a salad bar, rice and grilled veggies. I like the salmon idea! and maybe a grilled lemon chicken or something of that.
