Yummy Wedding Food Stations By The Season

Food Stations By The Season

Wedding guests will only remember a few parts of your wedding years down the road.  For that matter, so will YOU!  People will be brought back to your wedding day particularly by there senses: what they see, what they hear, what they taste, what they touch, and what they smell.  One of the five senses is what they taste.  This is why one of the more critical aspects of your wedding is the food.

Food Stations By The Season

Food takes on an integral role in any wedding.  Was the food hot or cold as it was made to the prime temperature?  How long did guests have to wait for the main course?  Were there plenty of appetizers during happy hour (not made for a meal but to battle their hunger).  Were there enough beverages for all ages and types of drinkers at the event?

Food Stations By The Season

All of the above is very important.  However, it may be difficult to think of a food menu depending on the part of the country and the time of year of your wedding day.  We always recommend staying with the food in the area.  This supports local businesses.  In addition, those guests traveling from afar to attend your wedding will highly appreciate the local flavors.

So what are some wedding food suggestions for every time of year?

Ideas that do not require a time of year
