Complimentary Tasting
Couples who decide to host their ceremony and reception at Baywood Weddings and Events will be able to receive professional, personalized guidance and support as they plan their wedding menu.
We offer a wide variety of options for every culinary taste and style. One of the ways that our catering team ensures that everything is prepared to your liking is through our complimentary tasting experience.
A Complimentary and Intimate Tasting Experience
The complimentary tasting is one of the most important steps in planning your wedding menu. During this time, you'll get to meet with our chef on the property before your big day.
Regardless of whether you're planning a casual buffet, hors d'oeuvres and drinks or elegant plated dishes, you'll be able to enjoy an intimate tasting experience catered to your palate. You can learn more about your wedding day menu options and refine what you plan on serving. Your chef can offer suggestions and recommendations as you create and plan out every detail of your wedding menu.
What to Consider When Choosing a Wedding Menu
There are many different factors that couples should consider when they are choosing their wedding menu. One of the first aspects that you should consider is your overall wedding theme and style. Everything from your wedding cocktails to your main course dishes should be coordinated.
For example, if your wedding is casual, your menu should be as well. Consider a buffet or a taco bar for more of a relaxed feel. If your wedding style is more upscale and elegant, the menu should also reflect that theme. Choosing butlered hors d'oeuvres or plated filet mignon will complement that style better.
You should consider the serving style as well. If you prefer to have a station or buffet, that setup may eliminate some menu options, like surf and turf.
Your budget is another important consideration. Be sure to have a specific limit in mind before you start adding dishes to ensure you stay within budget. Keep in mind that some catering options are more expensive than others. Cocktail style catering tends to be more affordable than other styles like traditional plated dinners.
There are a few more factors you should think about:
The number of guests: Make sure you keep your guest count in mind when you are planning your wedding menu. It can be difficult to accurately determine ahead of time how much your guests will eat, so you may want to add a few extra dishes just to stay on the safe side.
Dietary restrictions: Make sure you find out ahead of time if any of your guests have dietary restrictions, such as nut allergies.
Drinks: It's a good idea to offer alcoholic and nonalcoholic drink options for your guests to enjoy.
