This weekend Clay, my parents and I met with Shannon from Crave and the meeting couldn't have been better. We didn't know what we wanted, I just had a few ideas and even more things that I knew I didn't want.
1. No chaffing dishes
2. No Buffet
3. No cliche wedding food
Simple as that.
Our first decision was to go with stations. We will have four stations with completely different options. All the stations will be in the same area but the layout and station option should avoid having people wait in one long line as if they were in a cafeteria.
{Our Stations}
1. Comfort Station (or I like to call it Clay's station)
2. Carving Station
3. Pasta Station
4. Salad Station
We will also have a round table that plates will go on, along with a large focal centerpiece of some sort and a pretty chalkboard such at this one!
I would love to reveal the menu but the menu was formed by just bouncing idea off of each other and I didn't even write them all down! Once the menu is finalized I will be sure to post it.
I knew from the start that this was a meeting that I wanted my parents to attend. There were way too many decisions being made and way too much money being spent for Clay and I to decide everything. It was wonderful having them there along with Clay and I because we were really able to develop a menu that reflected us. We all agreed on the menu and then each chose an appetizer to try at the tasting.
How was your menu developed?
It was fun and Crave has some amazing ideas.
