  Scones, muffins, danish, omelets made to order, bagels, english muffins, juice, mimosas, bloody Mary's, fresh fruit, cheese.  That's all I've got for now.

  Smoothie bar, pancakes made to order (choose multigrain or buttermlik, fruit add-ins, etc.), belgian waffles, french toast.  At brunch there's often more of a lunch food, like a hot pasta dish (maybe pasta with sundried tomatoes and fresh mozzarella) or some fish or meat.

  How early is the reception?  If it's around 10am I would go with brunch items.  Nothing too heavy since it's so early in the day.  And I like kmmssg's idea about the beverages.  Having just those options may save you some money on your bar tab too.

  Ignorance is a poor defense.
