Villa St. Clair

Everyone’s budget seems to be a little tighter these days. Brides are looking for ways to get the most bang for their buck. A simple nod to the clock can help stretch your catering dollars. Time your reception for mid to late afternoon so that a reception with cocktails or beer/wine and heavy hors d’oeuvres is appropriate.

Appetizer only Receptions offer you so many options. Butlered hors d’oeuvres add an air of elegance to any reception. Displays of seasonal fruits and local cheeses are always a hit. Be sure to include bite-size versions of your favorite foods; it is your wedding after all!!

Schedule your ceremony at an appropriate time so your guests will not be expecting a full meal. Add a note to the bottom of your invitations stating “Cocktails and Hors D’Oeuvres Reception to follow”.

Not only will this approach save you money; but you can spend more time mingling and celebrating with your guests.

Bon Appetit,
