Wedding Menu: Here Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Buffet (Serve Yourself)

Decisions concerning the cuisine of your event are unarguably some of the most important choices you’ll make in the planning process.

Of course, you don’t want to carry last in Naija, so you have to think and plan well. The cost of food can account for approximately 40% of the total expenses of the wedding, so it’s vital that you consider each option carefully.

While some couples have their preferred option in their headlong before the engagement and wedding, others find it difficult to choose.

In order to help these kinds of couples and take a bit of headache off them, we’ve broken down the advantages and disadvantages of the buffet and “sit-down” menu style:

The buffet is a manner of serving food in which food is placed in an open space and open to any guest to serve him or herself.

However, one of the biggest misconceptions is that a buffet is always cheaper than serving a plated, sit-down dinner. But the truth is, the costs can sometimes be comparable.

Now you ask, what are the advantages and disadvantages of a buffet?

Benefits

1. This style oozes class, ignites respect and confidence

Yes, there is something about the buffet that makes the guests feel classy. Everyone puts on their best behaviours and no one wants to appear odd.

2. More varieties of food

With this style, there is the possibility of larger varieties of food. This works best if the bride and groom are from two different ethnic groups. A few traditional dishes from each tribe can easily be incorporated into the menu. To evade such problems, buffets are the way to go.

Disadvantages

1. A little bit of order is inevitable with this service.

No matter how efficient the buffet planning is, things are sure to get a bit staggering after a while. Chances are, your guests will have to wait in line to receive their food. Of course, the more stations there are, the smaller this problem will be, but it’s something many guests end up complaining about.

2. This style is not readily accessible to everyone

In essence, it caters to the mobile and more active kind of people. Therefore, for guests with special situations – a physical handicap, the visibly impaired, very young children, etc. – a buffet can prove to be a hassle. Before selecting this menu style, it’s advised that the couple put heads together with their wedding planner and decide if this style is the best for the sort of guests they expect.

3. This style is less traditional

It can put you into the bad books of the elderly and very traditional folks.

Because it can be seen as less than proper, no matter how sumptuous your buffet is, there will always be slightly disguised frowns and hisses from friends or relative who detest the practice.

Unfortunately, some people may not feel your event is formal enough with the absence of a plated meal brought to you by a waiter with Stainless Steel trays.
